Advertising in the streets is common, in all cities there are many different advertising posters of all kinds, in many cases they even generate contamination visual. This environmental problem is not well known but the visual degradation of a city is perceived.
But there are also advertising posters that waste energy since they are illuminated at night generating the energy consumption and the emission of CO2.
Thousands of illuminated billboards use enormous amounts of electricity, so to change this reality the idea of a poster with wind energy arises.
A German company called Blue Terra designs and sells an advertising medium that produces its own energy to light itself. This advertisement has wind turbines installed in the mast and can generate 750 to 20.000 W.
This poster with wind energy can save from 1 to 30 tons in CO2 emissions in a year. This technology is very ecological applied to street advertising since it does not spend electricity from the grid but generates clean energy.
Advertising seems harmless but it is not, since it is distracting and dizzies when it is excessive but it can also generate environmental pollution, which is why the development of environmentally friendly billboards.
Wind energy applied to advertising is a great initiative to reduce the environmental impact of billboards.
In Germany you can already buy this type of support to place the advertising that will light up at night while taking care of the environment.
Renewable energies have different ways of being used since technology has advanced a lot in just a few years.
Businesses that are concerned about the environment can advertise low-impact using renewable energy like wind.
