[edit] Template

I have removed the template until someone edits it to remove entries like 'preservation' and 'ethics' which are not technologies and should not be listed. I do not know how to remove this from the template myself and would appreciate if someone did it for meSupposed 15:26, 15 May 2006 (UTC) :This Template Is just what it calls itself. Template:Environmental science. Environmental technology is a type of Environmental science. This template helps readers navigate from one Environmental science to the next. In other related topics this template also includes subtopics of Environmental technology When you include more input. {{Template:Environmental science|envtech=true}} :If you removed 'preservation' and 'ethics' from the template it would remove it from all the articles under the Environmental science umbrella topic.

:Other Templates with Parent and Child topics can be seen on other pages like Retinae#External links Note how On this page 2 templates are used. One for parts of the Retina and one for parts of the Eye. This template goes further as to shoe the parent topics all the way back to the Sensory system. I suggest you re add this template hear and elsewhere where you removed similar templates. In the future if you have a problem with the template you should go to the templates page and discuss that there. That way the problem would fix itself on all related pages.

Also to change Back and forth between a link [[X]] and a template {{X}}. So for the template use {{Template:Environmental science|envtech=true}} and for a link use [[Template:Environmental science|envtech=true]] envtech=true. The Pipe | for links changes the name for links and for templates it adds additional information.--E-Bod 20:22, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Actually Sorry. This template seems really strange and the other template seem more appropriate.--E-Bod 00:39, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

"n the future if you have a problem with the template you should go to the templates page and discuss that there. That way the problem would fix itself on all related pages" Ok no problem. The first comment I made is on the template page. I think this template would be better put under the 'civil engineering' or 'environmental engineering' umbrella as these technologies are more related to those than the fields of Environmental sciences.

Sorry I forgot to strike my earlier comment. What you did was totally appropriate. I had made a false assumption, realized it and changed my comment, and then forgot to strike my comment. sorry--E-Bod 20:56, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Country comparison

I wonder if anyone knows about country comparisons. Is one or more countries leading in environmental technologies?

[edit] What technologies?

Are you sure that environmental technologies refers only to what you list there (waste treatment, recycling etc)? May-be it refers to all technologies in every sector that are environmentally friendly?--88.196.8.168 11:20, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Environmental technology template

I'd 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 before going ahead with it. Please discuss here--jwanders^Talk 22:03, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
