ILLUSTRATED HANDBOOK OFGreen Technologies

Environmental technology, green technology or clean technology is the application of one or more of environmental science, green chemistry, environmental monitoring and electronic devices to monitor, model and conserve the natural environment and resources, and to curb the negative impacts of human involvement. The word ?Green Technology? is relatively new. Having been adopted just over the last couple of decades, Green is the way to go today. The green technology, in simple words, is the technology which is environmentally friendly, developed and used in such a way so that it doesn?t disturb our environment and conserves natural resources. Unlike the technological waves in recent decades, green technology is almost entirely materials science based. Relying on the availability of alternative sources of energy, the purpose of this technology is to reduce global warming as well as the greenhouse effect. Its main objective is to find ways to create new technologies in such a way that they do not damage or deplete the planets natural resources. It also expresses less harm to human, animal, and plant health, as well as damage to the world, in general. Going on with the green technology environment needs immediate recoup from pollution. With the help of green technology, one can reduce pollution and improve the cleanliness as well. Today developed as well as developing countries are turning to green technology to secure the environment from negative impacts. Illustrated Handbook of Green Technologies demonstrates the capacity of green models and policies, information technology and management for the mutual understanding, prosperity and overall well-being of all the citizens in the world.

The world is facing increasing environmental threats which are posing severe scientific, social and economic challenges to the human race. These challenges include: the depletion of natural resources, the loss of diversity and the need to develop new forms of energy generation whilst efficiently utilising existing energy sources. Tackling these environmental problems and establishing a sustainable environment requires the adoption of appropriate policies and managerial strategies. Green technology, an environmentally friendly technology is developed and used in a way that protects the environment and conserves natural resources. A part of the renewable energy branch of the environmental technology movement, the green technology importance cannot be ignored. We have come to a point, where we need to pause and reflect on the growing green technology importance and why it is going to be important for humanity. Whether it is the growing importance of green technology in the industry or at homes, it is obvious that things need to be done fast. Going green can only help us come out of the present grim situation. Before things turn for the worst, we should realize the green technology importance to solve this problem. By adopting green technology wisely, the earth can be protected against environmental pollution.

Illustrated Handbook of Green Technologies provides a broad understanding of these environmental problems whilst embedding the appropriate specialist scientific, managerial and generic skills for a career in the environmental sustainability sector. This book incorporates expertise on environmental issues for the students and researchers working in the fields of environmental technologies, biological sciences, chemical science, project management, and environmental policy and politics.
