The popularity of clean technology is rapidly growing: people are realizing that by being eco-friendly and applying these principles to their companies, they are able to deliver quality products and services, while promoting the protection of the planet, its natural resources and the importance behind these efforts. As technology continues to evolve and adapt to our needs, many agree that green technology is tomorrow's technology. For more information please visit: http://www.GreenCollarVets.org

2. The popularity of clean technology is rapidly
growing: people are realizing that by being
eco-friendly and applying these principles to
their companies, they are able to deliver
quality products and services, while
promoting the protection of the planet, its
natural resources and the importance behind
these efforts.
As technology continues to evolve and adapt
to our needs, many agree that green
technology is tomorrow's technology.

3. Clean technology is defined as the different
products, services and procedures that aim at
providing top performance at affordable
costs, while conserving the natural
environment and promoting the productive
and balanced use of the planet's natural
resources.

4. The concept of this technology was first
presented by the Cleantech Group (founded in
San Francisco, California, USA in 2002), a
company that provides support to corporations,
investors and smaller companies in the form of
market research and assessment on how to
incorporate this technology to their products and
services, and how to market them.
That makes this technology a very appealing
option to most companies and their target
audiences.

5. Popular ways of using this technology in our daily
lives is through recycling (processing used
materials to create new ones), renewable energy
(energy obtained from natural resources, such as
sunlight, wind, water and geothermal heat),
sustainable or green transport (walking, cycling,
green vehicles, carpooling, public
transportation), green or sustainable chemistry
(designing products that contain little or no
hazardous substances to the planet), using
energy-saving light bulbs and greywater
(wastewater generated from activities such as
laundry, dishwashing or bathing.

6. It differs from sewage or blackwater, as it
doesn't contain human waste).
As there is a growing interest in clean
technology and its benefits, there has also
been a growing demand for careers or
courses focused on the topic, such as
Environmental Engineering or Environmental
Systems (a form of civil engineering, where
professionals are able to create structures or
the right landscape that can perfectly blend
in or protect the environment).

7. Environmental chemistry, sustainable chemistry or
environmental chemical engineering (courses
help the student understand the positive and
negative effects chemicals can have in the
environment), and Environmental technology
courses (that focus on producing electrical or
electro technology-oriented graduates, that are
able to develop tools and equipment aimed at
monitoring, calculating, shaping and controlling
the impact on the environment or discovering
new technologies that can be used to create or
recycle energy.

8. The need to minimize pollution (as it affects
not only the environment, but our health) and
use more clean technology to prevent and
reduce it.
This initiative has led country leaders to come
together and create strict obligations to
reduce the emission of greenhouse gases in
industrialized countries.

9. The need for further research and documentation
has resulted in the creation of non-profit
organizations worldwide.
The fast and effective communication through
the internet, and proper ecological education in
schools, and the development of careers
focused on creating sustainable development
and clean technology, has helped people all
over the world understand the problem and
educate themselves, and the new generations to
favor this technology, and make the lifestyle
changes necessary to make it tomorrow's
technology.
