Engineers, You have to go for Greentech!

It is predicted that ICT technologies will contribute significantly to the reduction of the worldwide energy consumption and carbon emission. Predictions about energy consumption in 2050 show that nearly 100% renewable energy is possible. ICT devices themselves can be much more energy efficient. However, their significant role will be in areas like transportation, agriculture, lighting, home control and health monitoring. Several examples are provided, but people behavioral changes are also definitely required for achieving sustainability. It is also pointed out that engineers are the only persons capable of improving planet health by proposing intelligent ICT systems, but today they are not credited for this it is therefore time for changing the image of engineers.
