To improve our environment what technology would be needed?

Benita Nancy: Every artificial technology puts a burden on earth. The part that makes in useful in the protection of environment is what it gives versus what it takes from it. Although not directly related, the technology that is finally going to protect our environment is "communication via social media". It is all about awareness. Once the risks become evident at an individual level, human beings WILL take the measures to protect themselves and their families. This awareness has to come in small and big ways and will start a snow ball effect that will take us back to the most environmentally friendly solutions in every walk of life....Show more

George Dingeldein: This question remained un-answered. How was it possible? Seemingly one of the most interesting question I have answered in Yahoo...., So, a star.--------------------------------------------------------------------In my opinion, a lot of things ( in terms of technology imrovement) can be done to improve ou! r invironment and at the same time we can improve our life. Here I have some examples of such technologies that can improve the envoronment :1. We can use low cost, solar modules to produce solar energy. This technogy is termed CdTe technology. This is a healthy and safe means of producing energy.SEE the link I found.... interesting -------------------------------- Environment CdTe Technology http://www.firstsolar.com/environment_cdte.php http://www.firstsolar.com/environment_plcm_cont_im... ----------------------------------------------------------------------2. Genetical engineering technogy can be finacially backed and encouraged to produce better ecologically improved food and crops.Here, worth mentioning is the increasing effort of AGRO- technology, which is ecology-friendly.----------------------------------------------------------------------3. We can try to assess the good and bad side of the technological impacts.....There should be a continuous monitoring in ! this field to save our world envoronmentally but at the same t! ime we shouldn't stop our advancement in various fields.I would refer to a link to think over this problem....Assessing the Impact of Technology on the Environment - http://associatedcontent.com/.../assessing_the_imp... ----------------------------------------------------------------------Improvement of the environment www.seems-inc.com/en/development/environment ----------------------------------------------------------------------Stinking smells decreasing technologyhttp://www.ntpc.co.in/infocus/environment.shtml ----------------------------------------------------------------------4. Space technology can be used to SAVE our world and environment. For example, more satelites can be placed in the orbit in order to monitor the various types of natural catastrofic changes. ( e.g.NON STOP observation and precaution measures)It would minimize the overall harm we always experience.( for example SUNAMI could have had less destructive impact if it could have been detected before ! hand and precaution steps would have been taken)--------------------------------------------------------------------5.Improvement of technology can also mean (lead to) the improvement of weapon used in wars. What I mean we can take advantage of improving/advancing technology and produce less fatal weapons or weapons that would have less harmful impact on nature and environment.----------------------------------------------------------------------6. Finally , technology can be improved that might decrease noise pollution, air and water contamination. Of course researchers are continuously working on this field and precautions are taken into consideration. However, yet we have a plenty to perform......---------------------------------------------------------------------And many more conceptions I am thinking of, but it is only a short Yahoo page...so let me finish with a wish ....please be a eco- friend....Show more
