The field of "green technology" encompasses a continuously evolving group of methods and materials, from techniques for generating energy to non-toxic cleaning products.
The present expectation is that this field will bring innovation and changes in daily life of similar magnitude to the "information technology" explosion over the last two decades. In these early stages, it is impossible to predict what "green technology" may eventually encompass.
lets tackle the goals of green tchnology one at a time starting sustainability
SUSTAINABILITY;
Through our Sustainable NREL program, we are committed to "walking the talk" by minimizing our use of resources (energy, materials, and water) while receiving the maximum value from resources used — along with balancing environmental, economic, and human impacts.
The goal of our Sustainable NREL Program is to institutionalize sustainability at the laboratory and make NREL a global model for sustainability. As a sustainable organization, NREL manages:
- Economic viability — efficient operations, prudent investments, and maximum value
- Environmental stewardship — minimal resource use, minimal waste/pollution, natural processes, renewable resources, and restoration
- Public responsibility — good neighbor, safe working environment, and education. (credit.NREL)
