All humans are born with rights that protect our health, security, and education, but, what about the environment? Does the environment have rights? Of course. Environmental protection matters and it has many legal standards and rules that protect it. It has been only 20 years into the 21st century and look around to see your kids playing with virtual reality consoles, smaller smartphones, and even robots cleaning floors.

Technology has been helping us to work faster, with more innovative and agile methods. Companies are reinventing the way they work, and now it is easier to maintain or gain a competitive advantage with technology playing a central role. What about the pollution problems? Despite dramatic progress cleaning the air since many years ago, it remains polluted, and there are also several concerns related to the recycling of IT assets. Unhealthy peak levels of Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide in the air contribute to respiratory illness in humans and harm the environment. Most air pollutants came from the by-products of fossil fuel combustion. Industrialized processes, planes, and trucks produce large amounts of carbon monoxide. CO is one of the six most harmful air pollutants, and it also causes headaches, dizziness, vomiting, and nausea in humans. Reverting its effects represents a significant challenge for our society.

In our country, environmental concerns such as the tons of waste, pollution, or illegal export of hazardous waste, are regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The EPA manages the manufacturing, processing, distribution, and use of chemicals and other pollutants to protect human and environmental health. It is impossible to go against tech or business, but it is our responsibility to go green and do our best to keep the environment safe. Companies certificated by the EPA regulate production processes, promote non-toxic or less toxic substances and reuse, or recycle materials to stop environmental pollution.
