Green Blogging on Technoverde.com

I’m officially launching my spanking new blog - Technoverde, a Green Technology Blog. Green technology are earth-friendly technologies that optimize the use of natural resources while minimizing, even eliminating, environmental and ecological impact. In short, these are technologies for a “greener planet.”

Inspirations for Technoverde
My inspiration came when I read a Newsweek edition on Green Technology and How America is Going Green. Then I was gripped watching Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth while at the same time, Benj Arriola was winning the Global Warming Awareness 2007 SEO World Championship. And then Will Ferrel, my favorite comedian, had a series of hilarious skits on global warming. Lastly and this was the straw that broke the camel’s back, Lori Harfenist, ‘The Resident,’ featured climate change in her show.

Technoverde’s Rationale
Indeed technology has propelled our progress as a race and has allowed billions of people worldwide a very comfortable, almost pampered, standard of living. However more people living better lives will demand more. More food, shelter, clothing, energy, clean water - more of everything.

The current global demand for resources is unsustainable. It means that the manner of how our population is meeting our needs is threatening the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

Global Predicament
Every minute, 65 acres of forest are cleared.
Every day, 137 species become extinct.
Every day, 70 million metric tons of global warming pollution from fossil fuels are dumped into the atmosphere.
The world consumes an olympic size swimming pool full of oil every 15 sec.
World supply of oil will reach it’s peak by 2015 creating a global economic meltdown.
Every year 75 million people are added to the world’s population.
Global Warming is melting the polar ice caps at a much faster rate. This will increase future sea levels to up to 20 feet, causing massive flooding, loss of shelter, and millions of refugees worldwide.

Solution: Sustainable Development Through Green Technology
We as a civilization need to change the way we interact with the earth if we want future generations to enjoy the same quality of life we’re enjoying today. The same technology that led us to this global predicament must now be used wisely, more than ever, to discover cleaner, healthier and much more efficient means to produce resources to support our progress. Technology innovations that can meet our and future generations’ needs while making our planet a place of eden.
