This article explains several ways to add green technology to your home. Want to help the planet? Even a small step toward green living can reduce your carbon footprint and protect the Earth’s resources.
How to Get Involved in Green Technology
Green technology combines technology and science to create environmentally friendly products. The idea is that by using products and services in the home to reduce energy consumption, waste or negative impacts on the environment, we can all help the planet.
Going green in your home doesn’t mean spending a lot of money on new technology or making a big purchase for a complete solar system for your home. It starts with small changes to the devices you already use and it changes the way you think about using technology in general.
For example, replace an old light switch in your home with a motion sensor switch to ensure that lights aren’t accidentally left on. Try adding a virtual assistant like Alexa or Siri to your home to help you spot and turn off devices that are sucking energy from the grid. Using LED bulbs also works if you can’t afford smart bulbs.
