Are there inventions that can save the environment?
The transformation that can be made for good in the environment could be very beneficial, especially if we take into consideration the fact that if we continue in the environmental destruction in which we are going, everything could lead to problems such as increased mortality in the population.
Currently we are seeing how the climate has been inclement in reference to natural disasters such as storms, hurricanes, flooding of rivers, all this has caused people to die, without taking into account that climate change can result in shortages and lack of food production, which in turn translates into famine and death.
Science and technology are two entities in which I have always believed for the solution of problems, that if they are put in the right hands, if we can create, propose and finally execute plans in which our individual work can contribute to the environment, then the inventions would be being used with a high prominence, but perhaps many of you wonder:
What can these inventions be about and what part of the environment are they aimed at
Although it may be considered as an invention that is already known, there are limitations in the generation of energy, since there must be sun for its generation, however in a line of new inventions and restructuring, in China for example, they are creating solar panels capable of generating and absorbing energy even with rain, fog and night.
There is a lamp that provides lighting only with a glass of water and two tablespoons of salt, not being necessary to generate electricity by conventional methods, it ends up being an invention which provides a cheap and environmentally friendly solution for those places where electricity is not accessible.
Australians created a floating garbage can that can suck up plastic garbage found in the sea, which is wonderful if we think that the collected solid material can be selected and handled traditionally as it is known to be done with solid waste.
An engineer in South Korea devised a method of printing documents. Using the coffee grounds in the printer to fix the contents on the paper. Although it seems very simple, it can have a favorable impact, especially considering the importance of reducing the manufacture of chemicals for printer ink and, at the same time, the use of traditional printer cartridges.
Conclusion
The small inventions of ordinary people like you and me can contribute a grain of sand to the system, the other important thing is that a small idea can become a great idea if it is accompanied by a great initiative where resources, technology and science are injected, maybe some of the problems of the environment find some solution with small inventions and a great willingness to want to change the course we are on.
