In a world where global warming is creeping up at an alarming rate, staying green and environmentally friendly in general is of paramount importance. While there are actions every individual can take to reduce their carbon footprint (such as driving less) and reduce the overall emissions they are responsible for creating, there is also plenty of technology which can help both businesses and individuals to become greener. Here are some of the most effective devices you can use to help you stay green.
 

Air Pollution Control

Many companies are now using specialists like ERG to help them install air pollution control technology, so that they can limit their emissions and manage waste in an efficient manner. There are many different types of air pollution systems they can invest in, including packed bed scrubbers and skid mounted gas cleaning packages.
Whilst these systems are mostly designed for industrial use, it is worth looking at air pollution control/waste management systems which can be installed in the home as well, as they can significantly help with staying green.

Solar Panels

There is no doubting that solar panels are one of the best investments you can make, whether as an individual or as a business, as they save a huge amount of money and energy in the long run. They contain incredible technology which allows you to harness the power of the sun to generate heat and electricity, as opposed to using regular fossil fuels.
Whilst they are not cheap to install (although they will likely become cheaper in the future), they will end up covering their own cost after some years, given the significant savings they generate from being a renewable energy source (and one which you are not charged for).

Wind Turbines

Perhaps one of the more overlooked green technologies, wind turbines are similar to solar panels in that they can generate a good amount of energy and are an entirely renewable energy source. Whilst most people are familiar with the giant wind turbines which provide power for the national grid, there are also smaller wind turbines on the market which can be installed on private property.
When used in conjunction with solar panels, they can potentially provide a lot of the power you may need (although this does depend on how much electricity you use). This will help you to reduce your overall emissions and live a much greener lifestyle.
These form but a few of the many devices which can help protect the environment and help save you money and energy. It is well worth doing some further research to see if there any devices which would be ideal for your home/business.
