Technology Moves From Villian To Savior

Technology is Saving the Environment - I’ve been thinking about this for a while and all of the articles and snippets I read seem to support this idea; Technology is the catalyst for environmental improvement.  The interesting part of this movement, for me, is the shifting of “technology as the enemy” to “technology as a friend”.  As we became more urbanized, we individually became less interested in the land and more interested in our own comfort.  (Read here the “Giving Tree” phenomenon.)  With the paradigm shifts happening in society right now, due in large part to the new economy, we’re again interested in the land and how it’s use can ease/augment/support our lives.  Technological advances in recycling, biodegradable products, and product engineering have made it simple again to live earth friendlier lives.  As a self-proclaimed “light greenie”, I am interested in how small changes in my behavior can help offset my footprint.  Small changes have large impacts.  I love technology and I am fully embracing it’s ability to make me a better earth inhabitant.

If I Won The Lottery, I Would Buy This Car

Seriously, if I won the lottery I would buy a Tesla Motors car.  Check it out!  They are beautiful, eco-friendly, and electric.  At 244 miles per charge, I could ride for a week or more.  This is the wave of the future.  This car really sparks my imagination, fire, and excitement.  Bring it on, Tesla!!!  I hope they make it affordable enough for the masses.  With the momentum for sustainability in products growing, sometimes old-fashion glamour and design get lost or forgotten.  It’s obvious that the folks at Tesla made sure that didn’t happen to their product and it’s why I think it stands out from the herd of other hybrid/electric cars.

They are great as they help in to decrease the pollution level and can control the noise pollution too. Excellent model.
