Will technology save us? Why, or why not? What does that even MEAN, in environmental terms?

Technology may help, but i do not think that it will save us. People have to chnage their habits in order for us to live a more environmentally stable life. People have to make sacrifices that they are not willing to make at this era in order to try to reverse some of the detrimental things we have done to mother earth. I am in the middle of this question because there are ways that technology has helped us, for example the Prius.... a more environmentally conscious car. Then there is also increase in population and the poverty around the world doesnt seem to be getting collectively better.

In environmental terms I think it means will technology minimize our ecological footprints therefore make less of an impact in the world so that it will last longer. I also thing that people that continue to waste willl do so because they feel that they will not be here anyway so why preseve the earth for more to come....
