OK, so we’ve had a recent polling of energy alternatives. Thanks to all for the contributions (and feel free to add more!).

Now, we’d like to hear from you about your thoughts of what environmental technology means to you. We’re not looking to draw a line in the sand, just give us your impression of how the word strikes you and how it can be effectively applied.

Possible examples:

—flourescent light bulbs,
—water purification systems,
—no-water flushing toilets,
—solar energy devices,
—fuel cells,
—recycling technologies,
—filters/scrubbers on coal exhaust stacks,
—hybrid electric vehicles?

Also, is there a contradiction in the application some technologies that exclude them as environmental technologies? Let the discussion begin!
