Green fireworks do not contain various types of metals that will contaminate the environment. When the fireworks are set off, there are no smoke, irritating smell, remnants and do not cause damage to the human body.
Moreover, these kinds of fireworks have a better colour quality when set off.
In 2014, the APEC meeting in China had an open ceremony of setting off green fireworks in Beijing]]> 2018-09-14 09:53:11 UTC https://padlet.com/samTET/green_technology/wish/281210604 samTET https://padlet.com/samTET/green_technology/wish/281223420 Plastic bags have long been the scourge of environmentalists. They don’t biodegrade and often end up in the oceans where they pose a hazard to sea life. 
Kevin Kumala, decided to do something about this problem. His idea was to fashion biodegradable bags from cassava, a starchy, tropical root that’s grown as a farm crop in many countries. Besides being plentiful in his native Indonesia, it’s also tough and edible. To demonstrate how safe the bags are, he often dissolves the bags in hot water and drinks the concoction.   ]]> 2018-09-14 10:42:33 UTC https://padlet.com/samTET/green_technology/wish/281223420 samTET https://padlet.com/samTET/green_technology/wish/282762839 POWERleap has developed “a flooring system that converts wasted energy from human foot traffic into electricity.” The magic behind the work is “piezoelectric technology and advanced circuitry design,” which converts pitter-patter into power. “While each individual footstep does not produce a significant amount of power, multiplied by the stampede of 5th Avenue shoppers, [or students at recess] POWERleap can generate significant amounts of electricity.”

It doesn't cost a fortune to purchase fuel (compressed air) is only a fraction of the cost for conventional gasoline engines. ]]> 2018-09-19 10:05:39 UTC https://padlet.com/samTET/green_technology/wish/283334986 samTET https://padlet.com/samTET/green_technology/wish/283336783  A couple years back, sporting apparel giant Adidas teased a concept 3-D printed shoe that was made entirely from recycled plastic waste collected from the oceans. A year later, the company showed that it wasn’t merely publicity ploy when it announced that, through a collaboration with environmental organization Parley for the Oceans, 7,000 pairs of the shoes will be made available to the public for purchase. ]]> 2018-09-19 10:12:50 UTC https://padlet.com/samTET/green_technology/wish/283336783 samTET https://padlet.com/samTET/green_technology/wish/283339203 One interesting approach some companies are taking to help save the environment is to turn harmful byproducts, such as carbon, back into commercial products. For instance, Graviky Labs, a consortium of engineers, scientists and designers in India, hopes to curb air pollution by extracting carbon from car exhaust to produce ink for pens. ]]> 2018-09-19 10:21:48 UTC https://padlet.com/samTET/green_technology/wish/283339203 samTET https://padlet.com/samTET/green_technology/wish/283340856  Traditionally, solar panels generate power for homes by absorbing light and channeling it into energy. It was only a matter of time before this concept was effectively applied on a smaller scale to juice up electronics devices ]]> 2018-09-19 10:27:43 UTC https://padlet.com/samTET/green_technology/wish/283340856 samTET https://padlet.com/samTET/green_technology/wish/283342331  The edible water bottle is a blob-like water container made from sodium alginate gel. The biodegradable blob is an attempt to make a more environmentally friendly alternative to single-serving plastic bottles. The container, named "Ooho" by its creators, encloses a small volume of water in a membrane made from brown algae and calcium chloride. ]]> 2018-09-19 10:32:45 UTC https://padlet.com/samTET/green_technology/wish/283342331 samTET https://padlet.com/samTET/green_technology/wish/283344185 Charge your phone by a plant.]]> 2018-09-19 10:39:57 UTC https://padlet.com/samTET/green_technology/wish/283344185
