Earth Day: technology goes to the rescue of the environment

Microsoft, Cisco and Google explain how the hi-tech can help the environment with software, digital archives and sensors connected

When it comes to safeguarding the environment is easy to think of an ecosystem in which the authorities monitor the territory in search of critical areas and to safeguard. Often are the citizens to report illegal dumping, or fire hazards but to do so using various means that public bodies are not fully official and can not be a valid reason for intervention. Let’s talk about Facebook and Twitter platforms that are important and instantaneity a peculiarity that allow anyone to post live photos and video that denounce unlawful conduct. But how many municipalities or regions take seriously such a type of alert then proceeding with surgery?

Not many, and that’s why some have thought to develop a social network dedicated entirely to environmental monitoring can be used not only by people but also by those who have the power to act in defense of the country. It’s called Qcumber and actually has been around for a few years but in the last few days that the project has acquired greater importance. A support it came to the fact that Microsoft 2015 conference of IAIA International Association for Impact Assessment after 35 years for the first time in Italy in Florence, announced the agreement with Qcumber, Altea and STMicroelectronics to raise the level of what has been called the first “geo social forum”. The news came in conjunction with the Earth Day which is celebrated every year on April 22nd.

In summary this is a service based on Google Maps which is accessed from the web and on which users can mark with checkmarks of the problems identified in person. Thanks to a complex algorithm the data is collected and contextualized to create then to a concrete proposal for resolution of critical issues highlighted. This is the novelty compared to similar projects: the platform not only has a duty to inform but also to make suggestions to define timely action to protect the environment. With the contribution of Altea and STMicroelectronics administrations will also acquire sensors to be installed in the area to receive automatically more information on air quality and the level of smog, entering law in the era of Smart City.

But that’s not all: the IAIA 2015 also other big hi-tech sector presented their projects to reduce the impact of man on the environment. Cisco showed his example of intelligent city that has as tester Barcelona in Spain. Lighting, mobility, fountains, Wi-Fi, social services and health; everything in the city of Catalonia will soon be connected and operated completely remotely, a great opportunity but also a risk to far too much reliance on technology infrastructure.

The idea of ​​Google is instead to eliminate as much as possible to paper documents in favor of the digital and the cloud, the rest of the company’s products all look towards this direction: “When we talk about de-materialization do not just mean the process by which you eliminating the folders to create massive databases in computers but to act to preserve our Earth while continuing to progress in innovation.”
