Technology harming the environment— Jack Schiffhauer

 Lots of technology that we are using today is affecting our environment in many ways. We have been consuming a lot more resources and power than we need. A few of the ways technology is affecting the environment are pollution to the air, water are caused by producing and using technology. Consuming non renewable resources, the element gold is used for technology, coal and other resources are being burned up to create energy too. Technology waste which can be called “technotrash” is another big thing that affects our environment when technology becomes old and outdated people just throw it in the trash, when they throw it in the trash and when it gets to the land fill they release the hazardous materials in then and hurts the environment. The final one I will talk about is clearing land to build factories, and allowing pollution to contaminate the food chain can greatly affect the natural cycle of the environment.

    I think that you’ve got a lot of great points here, and although I agree on mostly all of them with you I think you could’ve spoke about how we can benefit from the change and what differences we would see.

 Electric and Hybrid Vehicles     More and more we see ads for hybrid or full electric vehicles, which could be one of the best things we could do for this earth. One of the biggest sources of our own carbon footprint is the vehicles we drive, the fuel we use are drastically depleting our supply of fossil fuels. These fully electric and hybrid cars are great stepping stones to reduce the amount of fossil fuels we use, by going electric we can use the energy produced by the sun to charge these vehicles making driving an overall cleaner daily task. Hybrid cars are both battery powered and use gasoline but in a smaller quantity than an all gas powered car. The further we get into the future the more we see different car companies and brands putting out hybrid or fully electric cars and soon to come trucks.      For more information regarding electric and hybrid vehicles visit:  https://www.jdpower.com/cars/shopping-guides/hybrid-vs-electric-cars-how-they-...
