Often asked is how to help save the environment and still get the best of high-tech, like the latest cellular phones, tablets, or PDAs.
Some, since the 1970s for instance, when environmental pressures from 'green activists', and slowly evolving legislation started to have the slightest impact on technology the United States was producing, have altogether ignored how to save the environment when it comes time to be a consumer.
The frank opinion of some people were that they are tired of all the hoops and hurdles they have to go through to appease environmentalists and live 'normal' lives at the same time.
Until, and except, when they cannot drive their car because it did not meet emission standards. In this day and age, environmental compliance is almost a must, and part of our daily survival.
As technology increasedt, there is now a subsection of technological development. This particular area is often described as envirotech, greentech, and words of that vernacular. These coined phrases attempt to encapsulate a concept of using technology to help save the environment.
The notion that to preserve the environment, and not produce products that are harmful to the environment, is quickly becoming a thing of the past. As a matter of fact, the field that is now emerging of environmental technology, is becoming one that is being capitalized upon for business, and a niche market and product area.
There are now products you can choose from in just about every area that are environmentally safer or 'responsible'.
Amongst the products which have 'eco-friendly' product offerings, are cellular phones, very pertinent in this article. Cellular phones of today produced within the past several years, are leaps and bounds beyond what the 'telephone' was decades ago, they take photos, interface with e-mail, and so forth. There are cellular phones now produced at least in part of recycled materials. AT&T Wireless now has 'refurbished' phones. Cellular phones are not all that expensive, and if you have one, or two, or more already, a backup could not hurt, or to give one as a present, might literally save a life.
Buying recycled or refurbished products is not the only way to be a part of taking advantage of envirotechnologies and the cliche' 'go green'.
As many of you know, especially house owners, there is the federal tax energy credit program. The way this program essentially works is, if you are a houseowner, and purchase an energy saving product qualified for the program, included in this group are solar heaters, then you receive a tax credit. The money is real, and you can take it to the bank. The amount of money you can receive can be up to $3,000.
A third way of getting those new laptop computers, and not having to worry about what some potentially untamed environmentalist might heckle you with, is to purchase computers and items of that kind from companies that engage in environmentally responsible business practices.
