Environmentally friendly is not so easy-there are few environmentally friendly technical options

Being green can be a difficult task. We care. Being environmentally friendly means that you want to use all available methods. Many methods and products give us an eco-choice. Construction of green houses and buildings. Hybrid and electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles. Semis, RVs, biofuels for buses, and your car. Recycling of paper, bottles, glass, plastic and metal. Use cloth instead of paper. Even radiator fluid that doesn’t kill your pet instantly.

All of this is great and there is much more to be done by individuals and businesses. Many countries now have laws that require the use of certain products, materials, and methods that are environmentally productive, or at least neutral, rather than destructive. But what about the details of the technology?

The use of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in equipment has long been the norm. It was the first synthetic product to be patented in 1913 and has gradually penetrated our world. The problem is that this mysterious plastic is contaminated at every stage of its existence, from manufacturing to use and disposal. It is not biodegradable, it cannot be recycled, it cannot be burned without releasing toxic gas, and it cannot maintain itself.

It’s not just PVC. Chemicals from products that have been used for a long time, products that we know and love, and products that we do not rethink, such as batteries, slowly and reliably pollute our environment. If you combine it with inadequate use of energy and use a product that doesn’t last as long as a standard light bulb, everything will continue to compile. Waste kills itself and keeps biting us in what you know.

Technology is advancing so rapidly that the use of technology is almost essential if you want to work in society. We continue to learn from our mistakes-once we admit that we are making mistakes. Solutions are continuously developed, implemented and sold.

More and more companies are participating, for example Subaru and Hewlett-Packard. (Subaru has zero landfills and is dedicated to making the entire company environmentally friendly. HP continues to seek ways to recycle companies and customers with free shipping envelopes to recycle old ink cartridges. It is provided to.)

Eco-friendly cables are made of thermoplastic polyester elastomer (TPE) instead of PVC. These cables are as hearty, picture / sound worthy as the standard toxic varieties-but they are biodegradable and do not emit dioxins.

Cameras, camcorders, and coin cell batteries to C are all recyclable batteries that are cheaper and more reliable. The charger will charge faster and the battery will last longer. And what’s not working with some batteries these days?

In terms of energy costs, LED bulbs use 1 / 100th the power of incandescent bulbs and last 60 times longer. They are a bit expensive to buy first, but save you a lot of money at your energy bill and you don’t have to replace them for years or years. In the long run, you’ll save at least 10 times more than you would have spent the previous way.

Environmental considerations are much more prevalent around the world. We are beginning to realize that our actions really have consequences. The flickering green light bulbs in our brain are starting to burn brighter. It is the responsibility of each of us to pick up the slack.

Environmentally friendly products can be difficult to find, very inconvenient to get, over budget, or not available where we live. Make a request to the supplier. Or buy online where available. The more you buy and support these products, the cheaper they will be. The benefits speak for themselves. It will be easy to turn green one day. Will Kermit be happy?
