Environmental Brainstorming: Finding Solutions to Problems

I always try to be environmentally conscious throughout my day – turning off lights, conserving water, recycling the trash that I can and disposing of the rest in a responsible way, but sometimes I think that there are larger steps to make. Sometimes this seems so obvious to me that I think about it myself. I don’t know how scientifically qualified I am, but I am interested, and sometimes I think about things. That is how I am. I think and I think and I think that maybe it is time to do something about this.

Here is an example. People talked for years and years about building an electric car, but somehow, no one really made it move forward. There were a few different versions that were heard about here and there but nothing seemed really groundbreaking. I think that it is pretty clear why. The makers of cars and the suppliers of gas were making such a lot of money that no one really put their energy into mass producing a non-gasoline pollution free electric car. Now that everyone is talking about alternative types of automobiles, this industry is starting to heat up and move forward very quickly. It is too bad that there has been such a delay.

Without getting into a big speech here about Global Warming, I think that most of us realize at this point that many of the technologies we now use will begin changing as our world grows more and more environmentally aware .

There are a lot of great eco-friendly technologies out there that are starting to develop, but my feeling is that much more can be accomplished. I think that often, people have new ideas for this rapidly growing field, but they are hesitant to make them or to produce them because they might not be feasible to mass-produce, and therefore not a profitable venture.
