The word 'Technology' refers to machinery and equipment developed from the application of scientific knowledge. And it also true that we are currently living in the aid of technologies. In this report, I will connect the Environment with Technology.

The Negative Impact of Technology on the Environment:

1. Air and Water Pollution: Emerged from the industrial activities such as: Power stations, factories, burning fossils fuels, vehicles etc.

2. Heavy Consumption of Natural Resources: The more increase in advance technology and infrastructural activities, the more shortage of Natural Resources. Deforestation, mining for fossil fuels and minerals, contamination of resource are the major consequences.

Despite the negative impact, Technology also brings some positive benefits to the environment.  Environmental Technology- 'Green' or 'Clean' technology has the main objective to minimize the effects of environmental problems and aims for the sustainable uses of the Nature resource. The technology uses the concept of renewable energy that means the energy from a source that is not depleted when used. For e.g.:  wind or solar power.

Some of the common Green and Clean Technology used in Environment are:

Electric Vehicles:   More Eco-friendly than Fossil Fuel Powered vehicles. Helpful in reducing the harmful air from exhaust emissions. As a result, it doesn't contribute in air pollution and doesn't bring any negative impacts on the environment.

Solar Cells:  Can be renewed. No contribution in air pollution. It doesn't depend upon the fossils fuel. It also helps in reducing the Carbon footprints.
