Directions for environmental technologies

Technology in Society, 1994
Abstract Over the long term, Green Evolution will occur because sociotechnical systems advance a few percent per year along environmentally desirable directions or trajectories. Burning carbon and heavy use of materials create many environmental concerns. Thus, critical directions include decarbonization and dematerialization.
