November 8 is Science, Technology, Engineering and Medicine day, which celebrates how technology is helping us live healthier and more sustainable lives. From cleaner energy to smart homes that recycle and save energy, let’s take a look at some of the ways technology is making a difference in the environment.
Cleaner Energy
One of the biggest ways technology is helping to protect the environment is by making it easier for us to use cleaner energy sources. Solar and wind power are becoming increasingly more affordable and efficient, thanks to advances in technology. As electric cars become more popular, we’re also seeing a decrease in harmful emissions from vehicles. All of this means that we can rely less on fossil fuels, which are a major contributor to pollution and climate change.
Smart Homes
Another way technology is helping to protect the environment is by making our homes more efficient. Smart thermostats help us use energy more efficiently by automatically adjusting the temperature based on our needs. Smart appliances help us reduce our water and electricity usage. We can even set up our homes to recycle automatically. By using technology to make our homes more efficient, we can save money and help the planet at the same time.
Recycling
Technology is also helping us recycle more effectively. There are now apps that can help us find places to recycle everything from electronics to clothes. Some companies are even using 3D printing to create new products from recycled materials. As recycling becomes easier and more convenient, we can all do our part to reduce waste and protect the environment.
Bonnie Bio has leveraged science and technology to develop an alternative to traditional petroleum-based plastics, which take up to 500 years to decompose and leach toxic chemicals into the environment while doing so. Thanks to plant starch alternatives, our products are compostable, meaning they break down into natural, non-toxic ingredients.
Now, more than ever, technology is playing an important role in protecting our planet and environment. From cleaner energy to smart homes that save energy and recycle more often, we are slowly but surely making progress towards a more sustainable future.
