Transcript of Green technology
Green Technology Technology that is considered environmentally
friendly based on its production process or supply
chain
A means of energy production that is less harmful
to the environment than more traditional ways of
generating energy, such as burning fossil fuels.
Conserve natural resources and the environment –
Sustainable development
Innovative technology
GOALS OF GREEN TECHNOLOGY Sustainability
"Cradle to cradle" design
Source reduction
Innovation
Viability
SUSTAINABILITY Meeting the needs of society in ways that can
continue indefinitely into the future without damaging or depleting natural resources. In short, meeting present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
“CRADLE TO CRADLE DESIGN” Ending the "cradle to grave" cycle of manufactured
products, by creating products that can be fully reclaimed or re-used.
Ex: paper,plastic,can,
battery,clothing
etc.,.
SOURCE REDUCTION Reducing waste and pollution by changing patterns of
production and consumption.
Examples: Fuels , Waste and Energy consumption etc.,.
INNOVATIONS Developing alternatives to technologies - whether
fossil fuel or chemical intensive agriculture - that have been demonstrated to damage health and the environment.
VIABILITY
Creating a centre of economic activity around technologies and products that benefit the environment, speeding their implementation and creating new careers that truly protect the planet.

Green Nanotechnology Green nanotechnology refers to the use of
nanotechnology to enhance the environmental-sustainability of processes currently producing negative externalities.
Green IT
Minimizing the negative impact of information technology use on the environment
Using information technology to help solve environmental issues
