Today is Earth Day. It has been an annual event to promote awareness and appreciation of the Earth's environment. I remember attending a festival ~15 years ago and it mainly consisted of hippy environmentalists. Today it is becoming a part of everyone's responsibility to do their part.
We as consumers are encouraged to be conscious of the energy we consume, the trash we create and the products we buy. It is amazing how easy it can be if we just take a minute to think about it. We can all adjust the thermostat, recycle what we can and turn out lights that are not being used. This is just the tip of the iceberg.
We as engineers have a responsbility to do what we can to help expand the technology to make the world a bit greener. We in the simulation world are seeing a surge in optimizing products to help the cause.
I am looking forward to doing my part. I am also looking forward to seeing the technology that evolves in an effort to help improve the environment.
