Notably, eco innovation plays a pivotal role in building up the power to save the planet more than ever before. Happily, the responsible communities across the world are logically banking on the resources you have enumerated in your insightful question. As Gaylord Nelson wisely states, " The ultimate test of man’s conscience may be his willingness to sacrifice something today for future generations whose words of thanks will not be heard". Therefore, you could say that eco innovations are certainly the voice of that conscience.

Reduce, Reuse and Recycle... the innovations around these are essential.

But these are not just innovation related aspects, individual behaviour, information and knowledge matters much!

In my opinion, the basic innovation is ... a return to the use of natural processes in architecture (heating of thermal mass, use of natural cooling, etc.). Of course, not everything can be done and not in all buildings. I am trying to promote thermal storage in the floor in my design ("termal battery"), it works, of course, in small, single-family buildings.

Dear Friends and Colleagues of RG

In my opinion, ecological innovations can also include those that are the basis for a sustainable environment based on innovation in the development of smart cities.

For example, what new, innovative building technologies, environmentally friendly material innovations, environmentally friendly renewable energy sources, information systems for autonomous cars, electric charging stations for cars and other electric vehicles, modern communication solutions and information systems, etc. should be used and installed in cities the future that meets the principles of sustainable, pro-ecological development and developed according to the smart city concept?

Do you agree with me on the above matter?

Therefore, in the context of the above considerations, the following important question appears:

What do you think is the importance of biodiversity in natural ecosystems?

Biodiversity is diverse in virtually unlimited degree, which results from the essence of processes of evolution of species, filet lines and entire ecosystems. It is thanks to the millions of years of evolutionary processes on Earth that there are so many different natural and highly diverse ecosystems in which different species of flora, fauna, fungi and microorganisms adapt to life in different and very diverse geographical and climatic environments.

The largest biodiversity of ecosystems and species functions in natural environmental environments in which ecosystems have evolved without human impact through millions of years of climatic and geographical conditions enabling the development of various life forms. These types of high biodiversity sites can be found in unpolluted rainforest ecosystems in tropical forests, in temperate climates and in coral reefs.

Unfortunately, human civilization activity contributes to the successive and accelerating process of biodiversity reduction by dying out species of living organisms. The areas of natural natural ecosystems are decreasing, including those in which the greatest biodiversity is diagnosed, such as the rainforests of the Amazon. The protection of naturalistic ecosystems and thus the protection of the planet's biodiversity is the most important challenge for mankind in the 21st century.

Do you agree with my opinion on this matter?

In the context of the above considerations, the following question is also current:

What are the examples of eco-innovations that can significantly reduce the scale of environmental pollution and reduce greenhouse gas emissions and slow down the faster global warming process?

Currently, the problem of growing garbage with unsorted waste is ignored in many countries, but because in the future the negative aspects of the problem of environmental pollution, including plastic, will grow, so in the future other countries will also try to solve this problem.

The problem of environmental pollution with plastic waste is one of the key global problems. This problem should be solved in all countries, and above all those that "generate" the most. The European Union has already undertaken specific measures in this direction, eg by introducing legal regulations under which plastic will be withdrawn from packaging by 2021 and replaced with biodegradable materials such as vegetable origin. However, these regulations concern only European Union countries.

Similarly with other aspects of environmental pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Also, some large global economies are currently ignoring growing problems. But such an approach must be quickly changed, because there is little time to implement pro-ecological reforms, primarily in terms of reducing environmental pollution and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

As regards the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, it is necessary to reform the energy sector in such a way as to switch from the production of electricity based on the classic energy based on the combustion of minerals to technologies based on the development of renewable energy sources. In addition, it is also important to develop electromobility in the automotive industry and other types of transport.

The global warming process is progressing faster, the scale of the negative effects of climatic disasters and weather anomalies, which are a consequence of the ever-faster global warming process, is increasing. There is little time left, according to climatologists only max. over a dozen years to implement the necessary ecological reforms and innovations, including in the area of ??energy development based on renewable energy sources, to stop or even significantly slow down the ever-faster global warming process.

In addition, one of the main types of eco-innovations includes innovative technologies for building zero-energy houses and residential buildings. The special design and materials used ensure low energy consumption and closure of the energy cycle in a cycle in which household power plants generating heat and electricity based on renewable energy sources are an integral part, primarily through the use of photovoltaic panels and wind farms.

As part of the implementation of the necessary pro-ecological reforms, it is also necessary to develop eco-innovations that will improve the automation of waste segregation and recycling processes. In addition, it is also important to create innovative technologies for the creation of new biodegradable materials that will replace plastic in packaging.

A good solution is the use of packaging made of biodegradable materials of origin, eg vegetable, on the basis of raw materials in the form of crops. These types of packaging could be consumed after their use, such as plates and cutlery made of rice or other cereals, or could be processed into compost for animal feed or for fertilizing arable land, or for incineration in a specially built incineration plant.

In connection with the above, the increasingly common application of ecological innovations, which are necessary to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to limit, slow down the faster global warming process, will also contribute to increasing the scale of sustainable green economic development realized according to the green economy concept.

These processes of implementation of ecological innovations and implementation of pro-ecological reforms should be conducted in all countries, and to the largest extent in developed and developing countries, industrialized countries, including the largest economies in the world, which are the largest emitters of greenhouse gases and producers of garbage and non-degradable waste , toxic or hardly degradable.

Do you agree with me on the above matter?

Natural environment should be created on built structures

Anjay kumar Mishra Yes, it is undoubtedly a good idea. Architecture and urban planning are becoming more and more tight - this is a global trend and the reason is demographic and economic changes. I think that this will not change ... So green should appear on the facades, on the roofs. This will also allow for the creation of a type of ecological corridors. I recommend a discussion:

Dear Anjay kumar Mishra, Bartek Felski, Thank you very much for the answers to the question: What eco-innovation can be used in the future to protect the environment and biodiversity?

This discussion confirms the importance of the above-mentioned issues and the legitimacy of developing research on this subject. Thank you for your answers and confirmation of the above theses. I also believe that in connection with the unfavorable climate changes, the importance and the need to implement the principles of sustainable development into economic processes and the pro-ecological transformation of the traditional brown economy to a sustainable green economy / circular economy is growing. An important element of this process is the creation and implementation of eco-innovations into economic processes.

I am very glad that an interesting discussion has started.

Thank you very much and best regards, Have a nice day,

Dariusz Prokopowicz

Planned urbanization, rapid reforestation, water harvesting and maintenance of bio diversity will help development of human and natural resources side by side.
