Over the span of few decades, world has become a Global Village. It is achieved not
only with fierce perseverance and human determination, but these innovations also came
at a cost of very vast amount of earth natural resources. This consumption of natural
resources at the present rate can cause dangers for our environment. Green technologies
can be defined as a set of inventions or devices developed over time for the sole purpose
of countering the threats to our environment posed by vigorous human developments
either industrial or otherwise that demand insane amount of consumption of earth natural
resources. Some examples are as follows which provide opportunities to maintain a
sustainable environment and eliminate the challenges posed by our Energy-hungry era:
Recycling Technologies: Recycling helps with waste management. It a great way to
prevent wastage of potentially useful materials. It reduces wastage of fresh raw materials,
energy consumption and air pollution. Industrial processes specially manufacturing
processes excrete a lot of waste that causes air, water and environmental pollution.
Recycling reduces the waste by a huge amount. Biofiltration and electricity generation
via Biomass are few examples.
Renewable Energy Projects: These projects replenish the energy that uses the sources
like wood , water, sun, etc. Since the raw materials are renewable, this helps create a
sustainable environment. Hydro Power Plant and Wind Turbines are few examples.
On the other hand, petroleum sources or coal used for energy generation are likely to be
harmful and create by-products that desecrate the environment and its living.
eGain Forecasting: It is method to predict weather fluctuations so that heat of any
industrial or manufacturing process can be adjusted accordingly. This helps reducing
energy consumption and greenhouse gases emission.
Solid Waste Management: It deals with methods for properly dispose, reuse or treat any
solid waste, such that it can no longer cause any harm towards its relative environment.
Water Purification: Industrial processes all over the world cause water pollution. It is
the most harmful of all since water is one of the primary source of life on earth. Water
purification processes are ensuring the enduring life span of living beings and the
sustainability of earth.
The above mentioned technologies are the few of many that are providing a sustainable
environment for all living, specially humans, who are creating new challenges everyday.
If human race wants a better future, they shouldnt pursue it at the cost of that very future
and implementing green technologies is a great way of doing it.
