Every bit of energy we consume or toxic chemicals we use in our daily life harms the environment in some way or the other. To protect our environment, it is very essential to make use of innovative green technologies like zero-energy homes, motion-powered speed bumps, Oil Gone Easy S-200, sewage-powered fuel cells, and energy curtain.

Environmentally Friendly Technology
1. Environmentally-friendly Technologies
Global warming poses a serious threat to our planet. If we don’t do our bit to safeguard the
environment, future generations may have to pay a heavy price for it. Adopting green
technologies or using eco-friendly green products are a few things that we can do to make
sure that we do not cause any further damage to the environment.
Here is a list of some innovative and interesting environmentally-friendly technologies that
can make a difference.
Zero-energy Homes – Several home owners in California have built zero-energy
homes that combine energy-efficient construction and practices. They not only reduce
the energy demand by up to 70 percent by means of latest energy-efficient
technologies, but also generate all the electricity required from photovoltaic solar panels.
Motion-powered Speed Bumps – In this method, energy is generated each time a car
passes over the bump from its weight and
movement. These energy-generating
speed bumps make use of long think
pedals whose movement generates
around 2,000W of electricity per car.
Oil Gone Easy S-200 – This is an oil
stain remover that makes use of an
environmentally-friendly technology called
bioremediation. This product does not
contain any harmful chemicals and degrades the harmful hydrocarbons in the oil using
the bacteria present in the atmosphere. Using such eco-friendly green products that
make use of green technologies will help protect our environment.
Sewage-powered Fuel Cells – In this
environmentally-friendly technology, bacteria
used in the treatment of sewage in wastewater
treatment plants are used to generate electricity.
Energy Curtain – This energy curtain does more
than just provide shade; it provides light. The
outer side of the blind has special solar energy-
collecting cells, which store up energy during the
2. day and and provide light during night. All that needs to be done is to pull down the
blinds during the day for it to charge.
