Green Technology written by Sarindran Ramayes
“Modern technology owes ecology and apology”, is the best phrase to interpret about a very crucial and appealing theorem that designs the future which currently which is technology. Well, today every scientist, engineers and world leaders sit together to rebuild the nation merely to achieve the status of “developed country”. Although it is for the betterment of society and economy, however, they fail in various ways. In the vision of constructing skyscrapers, they fail to protect trees and lands. In the vision of extracting gasoline, they fail to protect fishes and carols. In the vision of launching rockets into space, they fail to protect the atmosphere of the earth. In the vision of developing …show more content…
While technology in an environmentally-friendly way can help to minimize certain negative impacts on the planet, there are certain factors associated with going green that can potentially be a drawback for those who adopt this type of lifestyle. One of them is cost. While many behaviours and practices associated with going green are designed to save money, there are certain ways in which green technology can actually be moderate to very expensive. Much of the technology associated with green technology does provide benefits to the environment but often at a much higher cost than their traditional counterparts. For instance, the use of solar panels can potentially save you money on your energy bills, but they can cost thousands of ringgits to install. Besides, as the saying goes time waits for no man. Time is another major constraint to green technology. Time is an issue with green technology in two separate ways. The first is that adopting a green lifestyle can often be time-consuming for those who are fully committed to green technology. For example, you may choose to make your own cleaning or beauty products, which takes more time than simply purchasing them from a store. Menu planning and shopping for organic or green foods can also be time-consuming, especially if you live in an area that lacks the proper resources, such as a farmer 's market or natural foods store. The time factor is also an issue in terms of the payback rate of certain green technology investments. For example, replacing regular light bulbs with compact fluorescent light bulbs can help the environment and save money, but it typically takes about four months for them to pay back the difference in their cost. Every silver lining has a cloud and there is no light without darkness, hence, although green technology has its own advantages, it
