Green Technology Is It Worth It? Mary Lou Hill Introduction to Computer Literacy INF 103 Professor George McGee August 29, 2012 Why Green Technology? Green technology is something that has come about in the last couple of decades. When we say green it is not referring to the color but the inventions that make us a green community. When we think of green technology one of the best examples of it are the solar cell. A solar cell is able to take the energy in light and change it into electrical energy. This process is called photovoltaic. When this process is used to generate electricity from solar cells there is less usage of fossil fuels, which in turn reduces pollution and greenhouse gases. In a world that has limited natural resources and many of those have already been depleted or ruined, it is essential that we are able to find sources of energy that will not cause any further damage or continue to deplete the earth’s natural resources. We as human have caused this problem, we have overstepped our priorities and now we have to quickly come to a solution. This solution is the promise of the future of the world as we know it. With the development of green technologies we will be able to reduce the amount of pollution that is being shoved into the environment and move into a cleaner and healthier lifestyle. Not only is the United States developing green technology, but many of the other countries are going green. When we are finally able to reach the point of going green and getting the human populations to adopt this way of living the earth will then be protected against environmental pollution. Luxuries have been one of our biggest downfalls in the destruction of the environment. We humans love convenience and anything that makes our lives a little easier. As each new item came on the market we as consumers were there to try it out.
