Living in this 21st century has forced people to get involved in the clean technology that is known as the Green Technology. This technology is the blend of environmental science and latest technology to protect the environment and resources to alleviate the bad impact of human action on the earth. green technology is focused on best development that is not only done to the planet, but also to make our business more productive. It is a great approach to bring great innovations that can bring changes to our lives. It is in a progress to dominate services and products that do safeguard the planet, but also fulfill the needs of consumers. The growth of "Save the Planet" awareness has brought some great development and researches in technologies that can make this earth a better place to live.
Goals of Green Technology:
Green Technology is the next generation method of our modern society because it is really damaging to use technologies those having bad side effects on our planet. Every living being depends on the planet to survive and look for best way for the future. For this it's our responsibility to care the earth and find methods to protect it. Greentech is the best alternative to conventional technologies and the best thing is that it brings positive effects to our earth. It's time to promote recycling and spotlighting on recyclable and reusable products. Waste and pollution reduction will help humans better and also will make the future better.
Lets here have some idea on different types of Green Technology:
• Power - This is the most imperative issue that needs to interfere by green technology. Fossil fuels, oil production are some of the traditional way of power generation. This brings lots of pollution during combustion and extraction. Conventional power generation is the basic cause of air pollution that is dragging our planet to global warming and change of climate. Within no time fossil fuels will be depleted from our earth and there will be limited resources left for the human race. Therefore, adopting greentech methods should be our first priority and to develop renewable energy sources.
• Building - Construct and design buildings to preserve natural resources are also a wonderful way in greentech. Today, in the market you can get great products like building retrofits and blinds. These products will help to keep your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
• Nanotechnology - Green Technology plans to expand novelty on the laws of nanotechnology.
• Favored Purchasing - Greentech believes to put techniques those are safe to the environment and have the slightest negative impact. Due to the huge amount of advancement, there are many companies those have launched eco-friendly products and services.

Skepticism and Resistance to Living Green
This blog is about "Living to think green, a skeptic's journey".
Definition of "Skepticism"
(a) an attitude of doubt or a disposition to incredulity either in general or toward a particular object;
I've been very curious about how to lower my skepticism and resistance to living green. Living green means taking the time to appreciate our planet and understand how we can make our personal green contribution to this beautiful place called earth. I'm almost blown away as I just typed those emphatic feelings that are now my reality. I believe my intentions to be available for any sign I can find that will direct me to do the right green things are showing up in spades.
I've set intentions to:
1. Attract others who have a sense of urgency to live green and sincerely care about taking action.
2. Monitor my Greendar, my version of radar, to catch news that might help YOU, feel empowered to take green baby steps.
3. Lower my resistance. In other words, don't judge a movie by its book.
For example, anytime in the past when I would see a politician talking green, I would shut it down. Not interested. Today, I was viewing the New York Times and ran into the "Clinton Climate Initiative".
First response, "Oh God, BORING!". After all, we're talking about a former President doing the humanitarian post -presidential pattern of saving the world. My mindset shifted when I really stopped to watch and hear our Mr. Clinton share statistics of what trouble we're in and how fast we need to move to make life promising for many generations to come.
I'm not really interested in being a bystander to the green movement.
In other words, I will never view a green video the same again. When I clicked a green YouTube video, I seriously was thinking, "not a video on state-of-the-art energy-efficiency building technology, like super-insulation, high-performance glass and natural ventilation systems".
Seriously, I really think most of us, maybe not you, but most of us turn a deaf ear to what's happening all over the world when a philanthropic message passes our eyeballs. What does it matter to me anyway, right? How can I make an impact? If we maintain an attitude of skepticism and negativity anytime we hear green reality, we're bound to remain skeptical. You see, this really is a mindset shift, a process that can open your heart and help us all find a way to take action. People tend to take action when they feel invested, or when they can get something in return. Here's the return:
Mr. Clinton pointed out:
"By taking an integrated approach to solving both urbanization and climate change the solutions we create will drive innovation and transform our cities."
In the video, Mr. Clinton speaks about his new program. What is this new program?
It will help support 16 large-scale urban re-development projects on six continents, including the London Development Agency's $2.4 billion Elephant & Castle regeneration and San Francisco's long-standing plan to put thousands of new housing units on the decommissioned naval base on Treasure Island.
He said "It's one thing to put up a LEED-certified building, but quite another to develop an entire urban community with enough energy-efficient bells and whistles that its on-site emissions are actually less than zero."
When he replicates this winning green formula, many more communities will see....
* High rise buildings that create more clean energy than they use
* Waste that heats our homes instead of polluting our land
* Water treatment systems that don't waste a drop
We're talking about
* Designing ultra high performance green buildings
* Turning garbage and sewage into heat and power
* Eliminating methane from landfills on site
* Reusing grey water
* Prioritizing low impact transportation such as walking, biking and public systems
Urgency is always a good motivator. Not a moment to waste in our race against global climate change and there's no better time to act than now.
