Abstract

Science and technology have played a dual role in the way they approach the topic of the environment. First of all, science and technology have been blamed of causing most of the problems currently faced by our planet. Secondly, they are also given the responsibility of creating solutions for these problems, by developing new technologies, changing consumption patterns and exploring alternatives to meet people needs. This article reviews the main topics in the study of technology and environment from the perspective of STS (science, technology and society).
