CAJ 13 - What my topic is about

My CAJ is about environmental technology. This whole semester I read about new ideas and concepts that could help to minimize or reverse the negative impacts of humans living on Earth because that is what environmental technology is all about. Humans have done harmful things in the past and are still doing it, like for example exploiting every last drop of crude oil and burning it, which pollutes the atmosphere. Environmental tech wants to find technologies that serve the same purpose but without harming the environment. I found many concepts that seem very promising, like solar energy, infrared energy and also a cleaner form of nuclear energy. As all these technologies are quite new and have not been tested for a long time, it is always possible that they have negative consequences, as well. However, their whole purpose is to be environmentally friendly and if researchers realized that there was something wrong, they would correct it as fast as possible. One thing is sure, however: It is better to generate energy by letting the sun shine on a solar cell than digging for fossil fuel and the burning it. Of course, new technology is always expensive and rare but if enough people buy it and if there is enough demand, technology will get cheaper and easier to get and there is the possibility of the government paying for parts of it. When most people have an electrical car it will seem just normal and people will drive on solar roadways is if it has always been that way. Environmental technology may not be perfect but it is the step in the right direction to safe humanity and this planet.
