Essay on technological, environmental and social change

The new law requires all new cars to be fitted with a catalytic converter to prevent oxides of sulphur or nitrogen from entering the atmosphere, so this technological change means that a social change of implementation is taking place which has a direct effect on the environment by reducing harmful emissions, so even though there is a increased number of vehicles on the road steps have been taken to reduce the damage being done to the environment, whether these steps taken are beneficial or not shall be proven in the near future.

A second point which can be made is the new flat screen televisions claim to use less energy by reducing heat loss and this has a positive effect on the environment by reducing amount of electricity used which reduces the carbon foot print and socially more people are purchasing flat screen televisions to enhance viewers experience, this is another example which demonstrates the approximate of the two fields of change and importance.

Thirdly new quotas have been set on farmers to reduce the amount of nitrogen based fertiliser which can be used on fields in order to prevent the harmful process of eutrophication taking place, so this social change has had a positive effect on the environment which shows the relationship between both, this is a change which has a positive effect on eth environment

Concluding I think it is obvious that as soon as one change takes place it has a direct effect on the other sometimes this affect maybe positive or negative depending upon the prior change which has taken place, but it is obvious that all the current change I is taking place seem to be beneficial to the environment as this is were the most concern is at the moment.
