        Appropriate  technology  is  defined  as  small scale  technology  that  is  environmentally benign  and  meets  local
        requirements.  ike po ered or hand po ered  ater pumps, solar lamps in streetlights, solar structures, and other
        relevant technologies are examples. It is the most basic method for completing a task in an environmentally-
        sustainable manner using locally-accessible resources. Green occupations in relevant technology may include biogas
        production,  ater treatment filtration, farm mechanisation, rain ater harvesting, sanitation, lighting, food production,
        refrigeration, and so on.


















                Significance of Green Jobs

         reen  obs help to reduce negative environmental impacts.  heir benefits include
        •   Keeping greenhouse gas emissions under control: Carbon dioxide,
            methane, nitrous o ide, o one, and chloro uorocarbons     s) are e amples
            of  greenhouse  gases.  These are  emitted  as  a  result of  the  combustion of
            fossil fuels, use of cars and refrigerants, agricultural operations, and so on.
            These gases have the ability to retain heat from the planet and prevent it from
            escaping into space.
             his  causes  the  earth  to  heat  up,  resulting  in   global   arming.    eople  are
            attempting to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by reducing their usage of fossil fuels and discovering less polluting
            energy sources, such as Compressed Natural Gas (CNG).
        •   Reducing waste and pollution: Instead of focusing just on how to recycle
            or reuse waste, we must seek strategies to reduce the amount of waste
            produced. This will assist in waste management.
            Managers at manufacturing plants and factories are constantly looking for
            new ways to reduce the amount of waste produced at each stage of the
            process. Here are a few examples:
            o    Reusing waste materials: In paper mills, for example, damaged rolls
                 are returned to the beginning of the production line, i.e., they are added as raw material. Plastic offcuts and
                 trash are re-incorporated into new goods during the manufacturing process.
            o    Maintaining quality control: If product quality is maintained, the number of re ected products  ill decrease,
                 resulting in less waste. Automated monitoring technology is currently in use, that can assist in identifying
                 production issues at an early stage.
            o    Exchange of waste: This is the process through which a waste product from one process becomes a raw
                 resource for another. It shows a method of reducing trash disposal via reusing.
            o    E-waste management:  We  have  also encountered  issues in managing  e-waste  such as  obsolete  mobile
                 phones, laptops, and television sets as technology has improved. It is critical to have sustainable development
                 and plan wisely for recycling e-waste.
