            What do we mean by the term  “green economy”?

            The green economy is the one that results in reducing environ-mental risks and ecological scarcieties.

            Green economy is an economic  development model based on sustainable development and knowledge of ecological economics.

The objectives of the green economy are:

•  use of renewable energy against of those fossil

•  increased efficiency in the use of energy resources

• reducing emissions of carbon dioxide and pollutants in the environment

•  reducing the production of waste an the environmental impact to humain activities

• preservation of the biodiversity and different ecosystem.

 

Renewable energy sources are:

• wind power

• hydropower

• solar power.

            With recycling we can convert almost all materials in to new objects.

            If we don’t use renewable energy sources and we don’t recycle we contribute to the increase of global warming.
