Green Tech for Green Planet

Plants, since the first Man walked on earth, became his friend,..... silent, beneficial and sacrificing for the highest creation in the universe. What a gift from God!! They will never speak, may be you will hear the whisper among the leaves if you care so. Being green, they put a beautiful pleasing color for our eyes. But this is not all. Scientists are now using plants to detoxify contaminated land. As industrialization is rapidly moving fast on the globe, more and more new areas are getting polluted which first and foremost threatens the ecosystem. Now plants can be used to extract these toxic contaminants from soil or wastewater. Althoug a long ways still to go, but some plants already showed promising results. Sunflower, as an example used in Chernobyl, to extract radioactive Uranium. At the end of extraction plants die but again silently. Where on earth there is a friend like this standing just next to you. What a Grace!!
