Green technology is the 'future' at large
Green technology is a technology that is environment-friendly and
ensures that natural resources are conserved. Green technology is the
‘future’ at large, and the main aim of this innovative technology is to
avoid any deterioration to the environmental resources. In a way, green
technology helps in reducing the amount of pollution that is being
emitted during the process of production and even while consuming the
products. It talks about the relationship between human beings and
natural resources, and the irreversible hazard that is being caused to
the nature and the environment because of the economic activities.
One can quote some examples of environmental hazards such as
pollution of rivers, global warming resulting in depletion of ozone
layer etc.
India is essentially a country that needs to implement green
technology because of its vast geographic area and huge population, and
also for the reason that India has been identified as one of the
emerging and ever-growing markets for the world’s producers. Both the
production and consumption are so massive that one can witness the
tremendous amount of damage that is being caused to the environment and
natural resources every second. If the trend continues, then one day we
may have to zero in on what we have achieved and get into the shoes to
rectify our unpardonable mistakes, which are irreparable.
Green technology is not only essential for sustainable
development in the long-run but there are also short-term advantages of
using eco-friendly fuels. India can use ‘cradle to cradle’ technology,
rather than ‘cradle to grave’, that can be fully re-used. But the
question is how can India develop and tap green technology?
There are certain crucial issues that need to be focused upon
while introducing green technology. For instance, a social awareness
about the need for environment-friendly goods and services for
production and consumption at a larger scale is required. And, for this,
a massive campaign on this issue has to be undertaken. Green technology
as a subject needs to be made mandatory in academics. The industrial
segment needs to be pushed forward to come out with more
environment-friendly production and consumption processes. Various
incentives need to be given to the industrial sector, which is ready to
innovate and implement green technology.
Also, the government can work towards encouraging people to come
out with agricultural plots within or near the cities so that the
distance the food has to travel may be reduced. This can be done either
by the small farmers or by large-scale farming undertakers.
