Technology has increased so much over the past century at such a remarkable speed that even from decades to decades what technology we posses is unimaginable and our progress has increased greatly. Technology though will not save us from the looming environmental disaster that our current path is leading us towards. Technology has actually lead people to stop thinking that our environment needs saving because technology will replaced what is destroyed. Technology though should not be needed to step in when the earth has a natural way of doing things it seems illogical to use technology when something occurring naturally. Technology can be used in environmental terms by reducing the current impact on the environment through greater efficiency which leads to using less natural resources.
The ozone depletion comes from technology use through our previous economic output which allows the people on our planet to have a good lifestyle. Technology has lead to more developments economically which have greatly impacted the environment because these further technological gains have put a greater strain on the environment. Ozone depletion is a good example of this because as there have been more CO2 in the atmosphere has lead to further damage and has significantly contributed to climate change. Technology being used to fixed the ozone depletion would be ironic since it is the development in technology that has led to the ozone depletion in the first place.
