Technology Going Green!!

So a big big trend in technology is going green this year. There has been many innovations in technology to help our environment and mother earth. One big thing recently was the Macbook Air is made of green material. Another is linux, the infrastructure and tools required to make linux a green operating system are now in place.

Some other technologies going green consist of:

There have been some fascinating innovation that make it easy and even fun to save energy. A German research team has created a prototype for the world first-ever solar powered cell phone. While full-fledged solar panels are still quite large and expensive. This team of research has integrated a small, high-efficient solar cell into the phone. They claim it will offer a module a efficiency rate of 20% and have a battery life of roughly 2 hours.

Those huge revolving doors you see at shopping centers like Macy's may be using them to power some of their lights. A firm in New York is using these revolving doors that harnesses the kinetic energy's of the door revolution and concerts it to useable energy. Great idea.

Other technologies going green consist of:

It will be an interesting and exciting thing to see other innovations in green technology. For more information please see some of the sources below.
