1____Every April 22nd people come together to take action

that will protect the environment. The theme of this year’s

Earth Day is ‘Invest in Our Planet’. So how is investment in

4 eco-innovation helping to deliver a more sustainable future?

_____When it comes to the environment, it can be argued

that the technology industry is both the problem and the

7 solution.

_____Why the problem? Because experts say tech is

responsible for between 3.5 percent and 4 percent of global

10 greenhouse gas emissions.

_____This ranks it above even aviation. Meanwhile the EU

estimates that the Information Technology and

13 Communication (ICT) sector is responsible for 10 percent of

all electricity consumption.

_____Why the solution? Because we all want a prosperous

16 future for the planet. Yet we also want the convenience and

fun of modern living. Only eco-innovation can deliver the

solutions needed to satisfy both aspirations. Eco-innovation

19 is the key to doing more with less.

_____All over the world, and across many different

industries, innovators are working to reduce human footprint

22 while improving productivity.

_____As we approach Earth Day on April 22nd, the pressure

is on the tech industry to keep working on the inventions.

25 These breakthroughs will help us all to do more with less.

_____Meanwhile, tech firms are also facing calls to keep

their own houses in order. Legislators and consumers want

28 them to use fewer materials in the manufacturing and

re-think their approach to recycling and waste.

_____The good news is that governments, regulators and

31 eco-innovative companies themselves are already committed

to a major clean-up mission.
