In order to go with green technology , you need to fully understand what green technology is.
Basically, green technology is that in which the technology is environmentally friendly and is created and used in a way that conserves natural resources and the environment.

Problem Statement:
             In 21st century, in the age of technology, our everyday life is connected with ‘technology world’. We use computers every day, wherever we go.  Technology makes our life much easier, but also besides its advantages there are disadvantages which have a negative effect. Electric energy consumption: technology is developing very fast, creating more powerful machines, which require more and more electricity and this increases the amount of water usage. Another problem we are facing with technology is the waste of computers and other electronic devices. This term is also known as e-waste. E-waste or electronic waste describes loosely discarded, surplus, obsolete, or broken electrical or electronic devices. Informal processing of electronic waste in developing countries causes serious health and pollution problems. Some electronic scrap components, such as CRTs, contain contaminants as lead, cadmium, beryllium, mercury, and brominated flame retardants. The amount of electronic products discarded globally has skyrocketed recently, with 20-50 million tones generated every year.
