More Green Technology and Ways to Implement These Ideas
Here is some More Green Technology information. We'll throw out some definitions first. Sustainability: Meeting needs by not compromising or depleting natural resources. Viability:Products and technologies that protect the environment and create jobs that protect the entire planetInnovation:Developing alternatives to technologies like fossil fuels and chemically intensive agriculture.Cradle to Cradle:Create products that can be totally reclaimed or recycled.Source Reduction:Reducing waste and pollution by changing patterns of production and consumption.Areas where Green Energy Technology comes into play are: Energy: Finding and using more alternative fuels.Using new ways to generate energy with increase efficiency.Green Building: The L.E.E.D. Program will play a huge part here.Buying Preferred Products: Buying products that are produced with the least amount of impact on the environment.Green Chemistry: The invention and design of chemical products used to reduce or eliminate the generation of hazardous materials.Green Nanotechnology: Green Chemistry and Green Engineering reduced to the scale of the nanometer( one billionth of a meter).Other areas where we can make improvements are not just in the process of developing More Green Technology but also making companies accountable for the life cycle of their products. Creation of "special" student loans for those interested in pursuing More Green Technology fields.These loans could be either waived upon graduation or reduced to no interest. Some states are already doing this for fields in demand like teachers and doctors. A few ways to implement Green Building Technology would be: Energy Management Design: Use energy monitoring equipment to lower consumption. Energy Auditing: An Energy Audit increases the chance to implement more Green solutions. You are the Energy Expert. Green Switch: Designing a switch that automatically turns off electronics that are not being used. This would reduce vampire power loss.(Vampire power is when a device is in standby mode and still draws power.) Smart Meters: The utility companies are already starting to offer them. Take this one step further by using a monitor that uses the off-peak hours to do certain chores like drying clothes. Your dryer could be set to come on at this time. Really when you think about all this the sky is the limit. This is the wave of the future and there is unlimited potential in helping people to save Energy.
