Over the course of time, especially in the recent past, humans have been able to change their relationship with nature. However, this process has especially damaged nature. Of course, this damage is not one-sided. With the beginning of the industrial revolution, human damage to nature began to increase. On the other hand, individual consciousness in the direction of “protecting nature” has already begun to develop in modern people. And this has also started to show itself in the development of technology. In modern times, technologies have begun to be developed and applied as “environment-friendly”. Under this other name, it has entered our lives as “green technologies”. And green technologies have become one of the main parts of a “green and sustainable” living. In this chapter, along with the transformation of technologies into green technology, their contribution to greener and sustainable living, the basics of greener and sustainable living, sustainable development, and how important green technologies are for sustainable and greener living are mentioned. It is one of the main tasks and duties of today's humanity to achieve a more sustainable living and leave a healthier nature to future generations by making certain changes to the existing infrastructure.
