A green economy's transportation sector strives to:
                        •    Use cleaner fuels such as electricity for cars.
                        •      Encourage the use of public transportation, cycling and other forms of alternative transportation to discourage
                             the use of automobiles.
                     5.  Explain India’s National Solar Mission.

                   Ans.  National Solar Mission aims to address India's energy needs in a sustainable manner. It aspires to make India a global
                       leader in solar energy (a renewable form of energy, as opposed to coal, petroleum and other fossil fuels). Along with
                       energy and environmental preservation, the Solar Mission supports local energy production and delivery. The Solar
                       Mission has been a success in Diu, which became India's first Union Territory to switch to 100% solar energy. The
                       transition to solar energy has also aided in the reduction of electricity bills for its citizens.

              C.   Competency-based/Application-based questions:

                   Amit is a graduate from Technical university in Punjab. He decided to help his parents who are farmers. He noticed
                   that the water pumps are not functioning efficiently as they are quite old. He now wants to change them and find a
                   sustainable solution. What would you suggest to him?

              Ans.   Amit should get new water pumps. He should use wind energy or solar energy to power the water pumps. This will reduce
                   his electricity costs.
