Why do Technology always have to verse Nature in the proverbial steel cage match of life? Sure, Technology has led us to plenty of destruction of natural things: deforestation, global warming, over farming and the clubbing of baby seals, but what about the good things? Technology realized that it was being insensitive and wants Nature to give it another chance.
Here are a few ways that people can use technology to nurture nature!
#1. Alternative energy sources! Instead of burning oil which pollutes our environment, we can use free energy such as solar, wind, hydro-electric and geothermal. After an initial investment, these installations pay for themselves in a few years, and you can even sell electricity back to the company and make a profit.
#2. Recycle! New technologies and tactics now allow us to recycle more than ever before. All sorts of plastics, metals and paper products are recycled and turned back into useful items instead of just being dumped somewhere. Though, even the things that are just dumped can be used. The heat and gas given off by landfills is being used to power generators to create electricity.
#3. Saving animals through captive breeding! Yeah. this one is a bit weird, but we can help bring back the species we've destroyed by pairing the few remaining members and organizing a little lovin'. Some people really really love pandas, so if the natural way doesn't work, they can do it artificially.
Clearly, technology doesn't have to hate nature! A little ingenuity and investment is helping our planet get back to what it was and helping the human race to coexist with it peacefully. Thank goodness for technology, because I love Mario Kart and glaciers and now I can have them both!
