Ecological Responsibility of Computer Science is essential in further development of the science and application of computer technology. The rapid development of all kinds of computer controlled things and mobile devices, without and with Internet connectivity, represents presently the most prominent information technology application area. On the lowest level, below the Edge of Internet, we have a huge amount of individual devices ("things") which do actually the most significant amount of information processing. Those are computer controlled utensils of all kinds - cars, boilers, production machines, traffic lights, plant carers etc., directly intertwined with our natural and human physical environment and our immediate surroundings. These devices, which are neither at the Cloud or Fog edge, nor even at the mobile edge, are the basis of the dewcomputing Paradigm. Further exploration and usage of the realm of possibilities of dewcomputing will solve the basic problems of integration of the "dew" level with the higher service level(s) in the dew-Fog-Cloud hierarchy. When the distributed Cloud-dew service architecture is developed and adopted, a Cloud server and many dew servers will be able to cooperate as a distributed application to provide controls or services. In view of that it is absolutely necessary to see the present (and specifically future) development through the eyes of Philosophy of computing and Ethics, and further the development through application of Ethical and Ecological principles. The Rainbow Ecosystem is a pragmatical hierarchical abstract cybernetic representation of an ecologically viable system, consisting of 9 essential areas, and applicable recursively throughout the integrated hierarchy. The ecological viability of the abstract system will enable proper ecologically responsible development of Rainbow computing Services, integrating our living Nature-Human-Machine ecosystem.
