Green Technology and the Positive Impact It Has Had on Various Industries

Posted by Team QGTI on Dec 17, 2021

‘Going green’ has been the subject of many discussions in recent years and we can see the influence of green technology everywhere we look. Images of smog covered streets and soot from the coal fired factories of the past seem foreign to many of us as green technology has become common in many industries. As the world continues to change and adapt to a better way of doing things, we will continue to see more industries embrace green technologies. Here are just a few industries that have seen plenty of improvement from green technological solutions.

Agriculture

Agriculture is an industry that touches each and every life throughout our country and the world. In the United States alone, the Agricultural industry is estimated as a $388.5 billion entity making it one of the largest sectors in business. However, agriculture is not just planting and farming. Thanks to green technologies, automation within the agriculture sector is growing as well. The ability to grow fruits and vegetables virtually everywhere is possible with a concept known as vertical farming. Innovations such as these enable farmers to grow healthy food even when drought conditions are strong. Many of these innovations have successfully saved both commercial and family farming operations from going under.

Construction

Water, food, love, and shelter are essential needs we all have, so when it comes time to build your own home or start a business, having a qualified team of construction experts is vital. Green technology in the construction industry has positively impacted our world as more wood companies are sustainably sourcing wood and utilizing various home improvement materials that are not solely related to the need for cutting down trees. Solar technology, wind energy, and various other green related energy resources have also made it easier for homeowners to build homes that will last and provide energy efficiency at every turn.

Automotive

Since the first vehicles began to roll off assembly lines, manufacturers continue to look for ways to make cars better. The invention of seatbelts, air bags, and advanced braking systems has done a lot for our safety, but it was not until the past 20 years that vehicles began to use green technology to lessen their negative impact on the environment. Today’s vehicles use flex fuels, electricity, and specialized motors to provide the same thrust and power without negatively affecting the environment. Green technology has been lovingly embraced by the auto industry and continues to help people get where they want to be without further harming the environment.
