DefinitionsSustainable Technology

Purpose: To advance the understanding, development and application of technologies and methods of prevention, removal and control of environmental risks to human health and ecology.

Green Technology / Clean Technology is the application of the environmental science to conserve

the natural environment and resources, and to curb the negative impacts of human involvement. Sustainable development is the core of environmental technologies. When applying sustainable development as a solution for environmental issues, the solutions need to be socially equitable, economically viable, and environmentally sound.

The Original Coal Miners

Jobs Affected by the creation of Green Collar Jobs

1)Oil Rig Workers2)Coal Miners3)Derek Hands4)Land Man5)Roughnecks

Coal Miners along with many other jobs were first replaced by machines, now with

the threat of global warming they are being replaces by green technology.

ConclusionA look into other countries shows us

many developments into Sustainable Technologies that are in current use today and the jobs that were used or created to develop many green technology facilities.

The United States is far behind in utilizing these technologies and have a long way to go in the conversion process. Wasteful spending could be rerouted into the development of green buildings and technologies.
