I believe that with our rapid growing society and technologies we should start becoming more and more involved with making our planet and our life’s cleaner before it is too late to do anything about it. It is our responsibilities to make sure that we do whatever it takes to reduce the pollution because it not only affects us our animals as well. Most people will ask what green technology is. Well green technology is technologies that benefit or help the environment and possibly the human condition. Green Technology can help the environment and also help our wallets by saving us on energy cost. The most effective way most people know to save money is to by products or appliances that are made to save energy. I also believe that if we all would drive hybrid cars it would help enormously with our pollution in the air and on our lands and water systems. If every one would drive hybrids and electric cars we would not have problems like the one we are having now in the Gulf of Mexico. Another significant way to save money is solar energy, and wind energy. Solar energy is solar panels converting our sun rays into electricity by photovoltaic cells. The solar panels are intended to reduce both air pollution and CO2 emissions. Many people have found this new energy saver very useful so many of them have put them to work in their houses and their businesses. I think that this is a very good technology to have around the house because with our economy on the hinge. Greenhouses like these in the Westland municipality of the Netherlands grow vegetables, fruits and flowers. Many people will ask well what happens when the sun goes down and we can not turn the suns rays into electricity, well they have found ways to store the energy into heat for times when there is no sun or not enough to produce
