In this Wiki Space you will learn about or extend your knowledge on the topic of Green Techolgy. We will talk about some examples of green technology. Also we will talk about how green technology works. Also we will throw in why we have green technology. Lastly we will talk about how you can help the environment.

To give a better understanding of what we are talking about, here and some examples of green technology. Solar panels that absorb the suns energy and use it to power houses and buildings. Electric cars are another type of green technology, these cars use much less gas than normal cars making them very helpful to the environment. another example of green technology are alternate energy sources like water and wind power wich relay on the weather and mother nature. Power from solar panels, electricity, and wind turbines go alot farther than many people think. For example, if 200 wind turbines were on the top of Mt. Everest, it could power the electricity in every home in Wyoming. These are examples of green Technology and energys. [|Green Technology] relays almost all on Nature and the the weather. For example solar powered technology works all on the sun and can even absorb energy and save it for when the sun is not out. Also wind turbines are powered by none other then, wind. Also you can get energy from water. This is called a water wheel and it is usually put where there is flowing water so either at a creek or river. Also nuclear energy is used sometimes, it is good because it does not waste fossil fuels but most of the time it is bad. If nuclear energy is exposed to nature it can do harmfull things like endagering an entire specias! Green technology was originaly designed to take place of things such as fossil fuels because they where and still are running low, not because they are harmful to the environment. Now they are used for both finding an alternate energy source and because soon enough there will be no more gas or oil. If we keep up with the amount of fuels we are using it will about 50 years until there is none left, give or take a few, but deffinitly in our life times we will have to find another resource.

You can help the environment but all you have to do is care about the earth. You can help the earth by recyling, recyling is very important but it requires effort. Another way to help the environment is to invest in a hybrid car, initially it may cost more but a hybrid car is more of a long term investment after a few years the car will pay for its self and actually make you money. Also you could donate money to a foundation that researches new ways to help the environment. The last thing that more and more people have been doing is purchasing a wind turbine, this is great because it lowers your electric bill and if there is enough wind and you generate enough electricty the electric company will send you a check in the mail every month instead of you writing them one! Although this is another one of those long term investment type deals. If you want to help the environment then try some of these ideas.

We discussed examples of them. We touched on how they were used. Also we talked about why green technology was made. Lastly we spoke of how you can help the environment. Every little thing you do will help so remember that. I hope you enjoyed our Wiki.media type="custom" key="8026402"
