A Better Future with Green Technology

I chose this program as my research because it is related to my major, and I can use this knowledge to further my mastery of environmental engineering. Nowadays, many people have a responsibility to take care of the Mother Earth, and “green” activities must take action from now onwards because actions speak louder than words.

The United States is the second largest producer of greenhouse gases in the world, and yet is doing very little to fix this startling statistic (Dennis). The US’ reliance upon outdated energy sources continues to harm both the environment and the economy by producing millions of tonnes of pollution every year and costing the government billions of dollars (“Fact Sheet: Clean Power Plan”). Fossil fuels have been the main energy sources in America since the industrial revolution, and it is time to make a change. Renewable energy is energy harnessed from sources like the sun, wind, or water, and has little to no negative effects on the environment (“Renewable Energy Technology Basics”). The United States needs to integrate and increase the use of these types of energy across the country, as well as implement positive environmental policies, to prevent further pollution of the earth and combat the effects of climate change.

Creation of products that reduce energy usage, support sustainable forestry practice, promote cleaner water and less air pollution

While new trucks and cars emit about 90 percent fewer pollutants than they did 30 years ago total annual vehicle miles driven have increased by more than 140 percent since 1970 and are expected to increase another 25 percent by 2010. The emission reductions from individual vehicles have not adequately kept pace with the increase in miles driven. As a result cars and trucks are still the largest single

It is no secret that, globally and in the U.S., there is more energy usage than ever in the history of the world. With rapid advancements in technology and transportation in the last fifty years, our world is fully reliant and entwined with energy and how we use it. A person cannot go a day without directly or indirectly using energy, mainly electricity. Electricity powers our lights, appliances, computers, phones, and as of recently some of our cars. With something so prevalent in our daily lives, it is important that we understand how our energy usage is affecting the Earth.

When making an analysis on why more companies are going green and to what are the benefits, the first argument that comes to mind are the government requirements that are now being required. Corporations are made to pass certain certifications to ensure that they are being environmentally responsible. A key industry that has been hit hard by such requirements is the automotive industry. The government in an effort to reduce the exhaust and evaporative gases that automobiles emit, have handed down regulations that must be implemented within a certain time frame. One program that the government came out with is called Light-Duty Vehicle Greenhouse Gas Emissions Standards Program. This program gave new standards for vehicles that are manufactured

Today we have a better understanding as to what affect, our choices make, and the impact it has on our environment. Those who stand watch over the use of our worlds’ natural resources are concerned of a pending world energy crisis. To this purpose, these professionals are seeking new technological advance ways to utilize our

New advancements in technology are coming out every single day, so this prediction should not be too far off. Furthermore, since a broader consciousness of the deteriorating state of the environment and a desire to preserve the planet has sprung up within this generation, I believe that more and more people will begin to seek out cleaner methods of living and traveling, such as driving low carbon vehicles, and emphasize harnessing energy in renewable, non-toxic fashions, like solar panels and windmills, especially if harsher natural disasters and deleterious changes in climate continue to remind us of the vulnerability of the

Green trucking companies take great pride in having some of the most environmentally friendly and fuel efficient vehicles on the road. Some steps that they can take to reduce harmful emissions and minimize waste include making trucks more aerodynamic, upgrading engines to increase fuel efficiency and eliminate pollution, and even installing hybrid or all-electric motors in their vehicles.

Government is on track to meet the clean energy goals that is to install 100 megawatts of renewable capacity across federally subsidized housing by 2020, permit 10 gigawatts of renewable projects on public lands by 2020, deploy 3 gigawatts of renewable energy on military installations by 2025, and double wind and solar electricity generation in the United States — once again — by 2025 (FACT

Throughout the course of the years, the world has been greatly affected by many detrimental factors. Many of these detrimental factors include fossil fuels and pollution are having a negative impact on our planet. Luckily, engineers have developed new and innovative technology that can potentially help lessen pollution and other detrimental factors. Green technology has the immense potential to generate a new method to help produce a less toxic environment ( What Is Green Technology ). Our world is slowly decaying as a result of our human actions everyday. Yet, what if specific technology could really help and change the world for the better? It is essential to develop new and efficient ways to help society fulfill their daily tasks and

Seeking a prosperous farming lifestyle takes effort and ambition to achieve. Plowing farmland and planting seeds by hand are examples of what farmers cope with on the fields. These tasks are time consuming, labor intensive and not rewarding. To make matters worse, harvesting crops rarely gives farmers anything in return, which makes their work frustrating. Farmers who sacrifice their labor to a non-rewarding job is a serious issue in agriculture. Fortunate enough, an American scientist named “Norman Borlaug” found a solution to the problem by developing a movement termed the “Green Revolution” (Briney, 2008). Starting in the 1960s, this movement encouraged nations around the world to use “high yielding seeds and chemical infused fertilizers” to increase their productivity on farms, thus leading to a more rewarding lifestyle (Curran, 2013). Together, these materials made up the American way of farming, and the results made significant changes to agriculture.

Global climate change is one of the most menacing environmental issues the world faces. Furthermore, we currently observe the detrimental effects of climate change such as an accelerated rise in sea levels, melted ice caps and intensified heat waves. The reason for this threatening global climate change is the emission of greenhouse gases by humans. The most conventional source of greenhouse gases emissions stem from combustion of fossil fuels derived from vehicles, factories and energy sources. A solution to combat global climate is to invest and use alternative energy sources known as green energy. Green energy is derived from rain, wind, sunlight and other natural sources. Green energy has less of a negative impact on the environment compared to fossil fuel energy. In my opinion, the United States should invest in green energy, because it would assist in tackling issues regarding global climate change, create jobs as well as boost economy and decrease our dependence on foreign oil supplies.
