Answer:

CARS WHICH WERE DEVELOPED BY USING THE MECHANISM OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY IS THE MOST VISIBLE CHANGE WHICH IS AFFECTING THE ENVIRONMENT. EVERYDAY THOUSAND TONS OF POLLUTION LEVEL IS INCREASING WHICH THEREBY ALSO INCREASE THE TEMPERATURE OF THE EARTH. IT IS ALSO ESTIMATED THAT WITHIN THE NEXT 30 YEARS ALL THE ANTARCTIC ICE SHEET WILL MELT. THIS WILL RESULT IN THE INCREASE OF SEA LEVEL TO 16-20 METRES CAUSING FLOOD AMD DROUGHT ALL OVER THE EARTH.

As with technology's influences on culture and society, the effects of a technology on the environment can be either positive or negative. Since the Industrial Revolution and the rapid growth of human populations, the potential for technology to have a major impact on the environment has grown. Consequently, an essential aspect of technology and engineering literacy is an understanding of certain key principles about the effects of technology on the natural environment and of the many important efforts that people have made to preserve natural habitats, reduce air and water pollution, and maintain a healthful environment.

Many of the technologies we use every day consume a lot more resources and power than they need to, and using and manufacturing them can create a mess. Here are a few of the ways that technology can harm the environment:

Pollution - Air, water, heat and noise pollution can all be caused by producing and using technology
Consuming resources - Non-renewable resources, including precious metals like gold, are used to make technology. Many others, such as coal, are consumed to generate the electricity to use technology. Even some renewable resources, like trees and water, are becoming contaminated or are used up faster than they can renew themselves because of technology.
Waste - Manufacturing technology creates large amounts of waste, and used computers and electronics get thrown out when they break or become outdated. Called "technotrash," these electronics contain all sorts of hazardous materials that are very unsafe for the environment. They need to be disposed of using special methods.
Disrupting ecology - Clearing land where animals used to live to build factories and allowing pollution to contaminate the food chain can greatly affect the environment's natural cycles.
Health hazards - Using toxic materials that can harm our health can cause cancer, and technology addiction can lead to other health problems like obesity and carpal tunnel syndrome.
You can encourage manufacturers by choosing to buy more energy-efficient and less hazardous electronics and by supporting companies that make protecting the environment a priority. You can also do your own part to reduce environmental impact by not being wasteful and disposing of your electronics safely and properly.
