Dear Laura

Certainly, We all need to move towards green technologies. But maybe the following reasons still are problem for moving faster to this technology:

-The benefits of using this technology are not yet clear to everyone, So it is needs to be done to promote the culture of this technology.

- Heavy investment has already been made for industrial activities and it cannot be to avoided at high these costs simply.

enough.

A fresh wave of technological innovation is deepening our understanding of tough environmental challenges — and also giving us new ways to solve them. As thousands of business leaders and policymakers gather in San Francisco this month for the Global Climate Action Summit, these game-changing innovations will be showing up all over town.

Changes are prone to resistance. Industry people always look the things in terms of economics as that is the source of their earnings. They will adopt the green technologies only when they will get substantial benefits over the conventional system in terms of cost/increased production/reduced manpower etc. OR strong legislation and its implementation.

There will always be resistance to change as evidenced by the coal industry in America and many other countries. The key is to keep pushing them to switch over to cleaner technologies such as hydroelectric, wind, solar, etc. In the USA, lobbyists hold huge power in influencing the government, and the coal and petroleum industries have huge lobbying influence in the legislature as is the NRA's influence to protect gun manufacturers.

I do agree with Piyush Malaviya .

Thank you Haghi A.K.

I think it ultimately boils down to the economy, green technologies have successfully been the choice in those cases mostly where it has proved to be comparatively cheaper than existing technologies in addition to being more envoirnment friendly .

I strongly feel that still there is a heavy reliance upon conventional technologies. The major reason is that conventional ones are well established and industries are acclimatized with it and they have been getting on with it for years together. Although lot much is talked about green technologies at times it becomes a mere rhetoric as against practising it. Adopting and adapting to green technologies by the industries to a greater degree demands sound and compatibility of it with conventional ones, mind set to adopt it, how far it conserves the resources, eco-benign nature & technical, technological and economic feasibility and viability etc. Although R & D efforts are underway to green and design the synthetic pathways to find a substitute to conventional chemical based synthetic processes still the pace with they are developed are not probably in tandem with the requirements of the industries. Further the green processes designed and and developed at lab scale need to be scaled up and commercialized which involve a host of issues.

There is a still a long way to go to have a paradigm shift from conventional to green.

Basically on industrial scale we prefere those green techniques to save environment which are inexpensive, easilyavailable, sustainable, efficient as well as time saving.

According to my views phytoremediation has been used at industrial scale for wastewater treatment.

Multiple steps based wetlands have been constructed to treat industrial wastewater.
