A STUDY OF AWARENESS ON ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY USING GREEN TECHNOLOGY WITH SPECIAL REFERENCES TO NANJANKULAM

INTRODUCTION

            As human lives are progressing continually, the fundamental needs of person are expanding hugely also. The human interruption needs have modified the common habitat and stimulates issues, for example, contamination, environmental change and a worldwide temperature alteration. So as to dispose of these issues, Green Technology is acquaints with recoup the Earth back to a solid state. Green Technology is another innovation that acquainted with ensure the Earth against natural pollution.Green Technology is acquainted with achieve five objectives which are manageability by fulfilling the general public's needs without harming or draining the accessibility of the assets for the who and what is to come, "support to support" structure by planning items that are reusable, source decrease by changing the measure of crude materials utilization and methods for generation to diminish the waste items, advancement by growing new and elective advances and feasibility by making monetary action, for example, new profession that related with advances and items. Green Technology greatly affects the universal market. green innovation additionally conveys advantages to the earth. It secures the supportability of regular assets and nature by evacuating the danger to the earth. How about we take a gander at one case of the green innovation. Thusly, green innovation conveys a few advantages to the earth, for example, anticipating corrosive rain and a dangerous atmospheric deviation, ensuring the plants, creatures just as individual, giving cleaner and breathable air and diminishing commotion contamination.

MAIN OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

            To announce the importance of environmental sustainability

            To find out the influences that affects ecology and to offer more suggestions to improve the territory.

            To analyse the gender and age of the respondents and their knowledge about awareness of environmental sustainability using green technology.

METHODOLOGY

            sound condition by green innovation is the key wellspring of essential information are amassed from the stars through an all around made audit. As the area of study is kept to Nanjankulam and as the all out masses is numerable, the analyst has proposed the optional inspecting frameworks are utilized for the examination. To perceive the specialists which are besides remarkably central for the social event of essential information the running with technique has been gotten a handle on cleverly. At long last, 100 respondents were examined into parts that spur them to wrap up a feasible authority and it is additionally for new association individuals.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

            Ausubel, Frosch and Herman (1989) states that Meyer-Abich (1979) refered to that 'The crossing point of innovation and condition as it were has been the vulnerable side in our arrangement of information, and this hole is at the base of the present ecological emergency'. The shading Green is constantly connected with the earth and henceforth the term 'Green' signifies whatever is condition cordial (Worthington, 2009). This new significance of the term was made by a German ideological group called 'kick the bucket Grüen' shaped in the late 1970s, who were perceived as green gatherings. Green gatherings were ideological groups who had faith in enhancing the earth and making it practical (Leonard, 2010). Innovation that does not make any mischief the earth, spares vitality, diminishes waste and outflow of ozone harming substances and spares regular assets are know as Green Technology (Maczulak, 2010). Green Technology has existed since 500 A.D. be that as it may, individuals organized it since the 1970s after the revelation of oil emergency in 1973 by Saudi Arabia (Evans, 2007). The two primary sorts of Green Technology are perfect vitality advances which utilize sustainable power sources to create power and contamination lessening advances, which diminishes contamination, squander and the discharge of hurtful nursery gasses (Sobha, 2007).

ANALYSIS OF DATA

TABLE 1: GENDER OF THE RESPONDENTS

Gender	No. of Respondents	Percentage
Male	69	69
Female	31	31
Total	100	100

Most of the respondents are Male Gender in the research area.

TABLE 2: AGE OF THE RESPONDENTS

Age	No. of Respondents	Percentage
20-30	18	18
31-40	32	32
41-50	40	40
51 and Above	10	10
Total	100	100

40% of the majority respondents are in the age of 41-50.

 

FINDINGS

            From the examination found that 69% respondents are male and their age is between 41-50 and (85%) most of them who rates their environmental sustainability is very bad because of being up and down in that area roads. (76%) This examination there is no green technology in that area so most of the respondents are using unrecyclable product, 55% of the respondents are strongly agreed that the transportation is occasionally come to this research area. It is clear from the examination that most of people do not spend their time with nature because everything has destructing by the global warming, and 60% young people are not living in that area where there is no enough educational status among them. It is clear from the overview that nearly all of them are affected by the local pollution. It is found from the review winning bit of the respondents (69%) are using linen bags for shopping or buying groceries, (80%) are agreed that the environment is the important role for society. 95% of the respondents are taking actions to improve their surroundings.

SUGGESTIONS

            Any biomass squander – from wood to nut shells – discharges carbon as it decomposes. But it very well may be copied in an oven by pyrolysis (an airless copying system) to make biochar, additionally known by the soubriquet green coal. Burn plant-inferred biofuels, for example, maize, sugar and corn in motors, at that point the CO2 discharged would be counterbalanced by the measure of gas consumed by the plants when they developed. It is recognized that the seas are the planet's greatest worldwide sink, splashing up 2bn huge amounts of carbon consistently. Spreading iron residue on sea waters can in actuality trigger gigantic microscopic fish sprouts the extent of a little city. the phytoplankton made would then expel 1 trillion kilograms of CO2 each year. The objective is to change your eating regimen to be low carbon and low effect by picking nourishments with the most minimal ecological overburden or impression you can discover, with the most minimal a worldwide temperature alteration potential and minimal possibility of destroying the planet by means of their fermentation and contamination potential.

CONCLUSION

            Today, there keep on being holes in the manner in which that science and its effect on worldwide frameworks is contemplated. There is a need to comprehend the long-haul effects of synthetics in the earth, for example, ingenuity, bio gathering, a dangerous atmospheric deviation potential, or ozone depletion. Improvements are required in the amount and nature of information required for such correlations and in the methodology used to assess life cycle measurements. Accomplishing fantastic test in a perfect world gives generation of both fundamental and fine synthetic substances in a less unsafe condition for people and biological communities, utilizes less vitality, and brings expenses of production. They need down to create with their building accomplice’s lower vitality response pathways for current manufactured procedures, and all the more naturally benevolent dissolvable frameworks with higher yield efficiencies and less poisonous waste.
