Green Technology is the " future " at large
Monday, September 20, 2010
Green technology is a technology that is environment-friendly and ensures that natural resources are conserved. Green technology is the 'future' at large, and the main aim of this innovative technology is to avoid any deterioration to the environmental resources. In a way, green technology helps in reducing the amount of pollution that is being emitted during the process of production and even while consuming the products. It talks about the relationship between human beings and natural resources, and the irreversible hazard that is being caused to the nature and the environment because of the economic activities.
One can quote some examples of environmental hazards such as pollution of rivers, global warming resulting in depletion of ozone layer etc.
Green technology is not only essential for sustainable development in the long-run but there are also short-term advantages of using eco-friendly fuels. India can use 'cradle to cradle' technology, rather than 'cradle to grave', that can be fully re-used.
There are certain crucial issues that need to be focused upon while introducing green technology. For instance, a social awareness about the need for environment-friendly goods and services for production and consumption at a larger scale is required. And, for this, a massive campaign on this issue has to be undertaken. Green technology as a subject needs to be made mandatory in academics. The industrial segment needs to be pushed forward to come out with more environment-friendly production and consumption processes. Various incentives need to be given to the industrial sector, which is ready to innovate and implement green technology.
