GREEN TECHNOLOGY
The New Wave
of
Today’s Society
By: Karen Clement
BOTH ARE WRONG!
We alway
s hav
e seemed to
run out o
f what
we
needed
Pessimist
have said that we are
entering an “Era of
Scarcity”
Optimist have said
that we now live in an
“Era of Abundance”
“ Renewable energy & “alternative uses” are at the heart of Green Technology.
“Green technology” is in the early stage of development; however it is becoming the new wave of society. It encompasses an evolving group of methods and techniques;
Inserts
Manufacturing of Green Designs
Incorporating Renewable Energy
or Alternatives
“Greening” Technology
Such as
The Goal: To be Sustainable
for everyone everyday
The Expectation: To change the daily habitual
habits of society.
GREEN DESIGNSProducts that avoid using toxic materials
Will not harm the humans or ecological system
• Reusable diaper cover (the gPants)
• Disposable (inserts)
• 100% biodegradable.
• Environmentally friendly
• Cheaper to manufacturer
• Life span-30+ yrs.
• Electrically efficient • Biodegradable
recyclable and/or reusable parts
• Made w/ eco-friendly materials
eDiapers
LED Frog Lightbulbs
Green Computers
Inserts
gpants
EDIAPERS COMES IN DIFFERENT
COLORS & SIZES
CAN BE FLUSHED-TOSSED-COMPOSTED
FEATURES LOWER POWER CONSUMPTION
DESIGNED FOR DISASSEMBLY SO
THAT IT CAN EASILY BE BROKEN DOWN
AND RECYCLED
LED FROG LIGHTBULBSTIES IN WITH TRADITIONAL LIGHTBULB
REQUIRES NO HARMFUL
CHEMICAL TO PRODUCE
The invention, design, and
execution of such products are vital to GREEN TECHNOLOGY
Reducing waste by changing patterns of
production
ECO-FRIENDLY
RECYCLING
PROPERLY DISPOSING OF
BIO-HAZARDOUS WASTE
“GREENING” OF
TECHNOLOGY
CRADLE TO CRADLE
CONCEPT
Solar energy, wind power and
water are all traditional sources of alternative
energy that are making progress.
The challenge is developing the capabilities to
capture and store this energy so that it
can be used when needed
ENERGYA source that powers the world!
IN WITH THE NEWOUT WITH THE OLD Alternative energy
companies are working with and are being
supported by the oil companies in the development of
alternative energy resources.
Fossil fuels are non-renewable & will be depleted,
but are valuable service
This part of technology is renewable or alternative energy sources
The most innovative part of green technology is
green nanotechnology.
Wow,
A self c
leaning
mirror??
Nanotechnology is a branch of
technology devoted to
manufacturing and application of devices on an
atomic scale
Yes, “Green technology” is the new wave of today’s society.
Green technology researches new ways to use our natural resources without depleting them, and without making it harder for future
generations to survive!
