Our world is obviously far from being a utopian reality, and as we move farther along in technology, it seems that our environment gets neglected more and more. So i decided to look up ways that people are making crosses between technology and environmental health.
I found a video on CNN (they don't have a direct url, but it's easy to find) about a man who invented a way of using algae as a substitute for fuel.

"Fuel for Scum"
I like to think of this as a utopian example, because even with all our fancy technology we can't exist without the actual world to live in. It's more of a step towards fixing the mistakes we've already made and trying to prevent others from happening.

On the dystopia side...

The first part of this report talks about the concerns people have with online privacy. As technology becomes more advanced crime advances with it. People are feeling anxiety because of fears of identity theft and other internet crimes. It's a good thing we're coming up with technology like botox because there are more wrinkles to fix now :)
