The initial purpose of this template is to bring together all of the subtopics of Environmental Technology.
The purpose of this template is to direct persons to subject matter which falls into the heading of Environmental Technology. This does not claim that the article Environmental Technology is the infallable source, as it may need work itself.
The format of the entries should be general topics within Environmental Technology. However, should the subject matter become too long, appropriate tree links should be formed. If you do not know how to do this, then hands off. If you do, then please feel free to expand.

Hi all, I just added Green computing to the template, as this seems like a fairly obvious addition. However, looking through the revision history, past changes to this template have been rather contentious, so if you disagree, please raise your concerns here. — EagleOne\ Talk 17:48, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
Added hybrid electric vehicle to the template, because it is not the same thing as the already listed plug-in hybrid. Like EagleOne's addition above, if this is an issue please let me know here if you disagree with its inclusion. One alternative would be to strike the plug-in hybrid link and my newly added HEV one for the Hybrid vehicle article, which includes both but also is a much broader topic (including things like hybrid bicycles, etc.) Alternately, the Types of hybrid vehicle link might be preferred by someone. Up to ya'll. - Ageekgal ( talk) 15:23, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
I'll like to replace the Environmental technology template with one that matches the standard navbox style, i.e. horizontal instead of vertical, collapsing and typically placed at the bottom of article pages. I've done a mock up of what this would look like at {{ User:Jwanders/ET}}. Figured this was a big enough change that I should post here before going ahead with it. -- jwanders Talk 21:35, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
I've closed this discussion, modified the template per consensus, and moved it to the bottom of all (60!) articles. Thanks for the input! -- jwanders Talk 19:28, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
It seems strange to single out composting for inclusion on the template. A more general term that covers the whole area of food production and recycling of biological waste, like sustainable agriculture seems more appropriate. Zodon ( talk) 06:43, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
There should be some representation of the population component in the Impact (on the environment) = Population * Affluence (energy and things used by a person) * Technology (used in extraction) equation here Carrying capacity#humans. Birth control seemed the most obvious of the humane direct technology applications. Other possibilities that seemed reasonable included Family planning. As others have done, I offer this section for discussion. Zodon ( talk) 08:14, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
I removed recent addition of genetic engineering because neither the environmental technology nor the genetic engineering page make any mention of each-other. Not clear that genetic engineering is particularly related to environmental technology. Zodon ( talk) 07:56, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
Hi Zodon. I am thinking that a single color title is much easier on the eye and still allows the main topic to be used as a hyperlink. No? Granitethighs ( talk) 09:55, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
