•  Green Transport: It supports a well-planned transportation system with minimum  damage to the forest and
                    environment. It also promotes efficient use of fuel that produces minimum greenhouse gases and also uses alternate
                    sources of fuel like CNG, battery, etc.
               5.  Give two necessary reasons for adapting to the Green Economy.
              Ans.  It is an effort of the whole world to create a healthy planet by using alternative ways of growth and development that
                  improves quality of life of people through sustainable development.
                  It also means healthy clean air to breathe, pure water to drink and wholesome food to eat for all without exhausting
                  our present natural resources and saving it for the future generations to come.
               6.  Define the Green Projects in India. Give examples.

              Ans.  The environmentally friendly projects that  aim to reduce pollution, reduce  fossil  fuel consumption or  some other
                  positive effects on the environment are called Green Projects. For example:

                  •  Digital Green: It is a multimedia solution for rural education.
                  •  Solid Waste Management by ‘Swachh Cooperative’: This green project is wholly owned by waste pickers.
                  •  Bio Toilet by ‘Green Solution Foundation’: it has created a bio-toilet solution for hygienic sanitation in villages and
                    slums that lacked sewage systems.
               7.  Give any four environmental benefits of the Green Economy.
              Ans.  •   It helps in decreasing environmental pollution, which is a big effort to protect the environment without degrading
                    the quality of soil, water and air.
                  •  It helps in reducing the negative impacts of greenhouse gases by adopting technologies and products that minimise
                    carbon emissions. This will work in reducing global warming.
                  •  Less damage to our forests and biodiversity will help in survival of rare species on the earth.
                  •  It helps in eco friendly sustainable management of natural resources.

               8.  Give four advantages of getting Green Jobs.
              Ans.  •  Ensuring judicious consumption of energy and raw materials.
                  •  Reducing the greenhouse gas emissions especially that of Carbon Dioxide.
                  •  Minimising pollution at all levels.
                  •  Putting  in place  proper  waste  management  systems that  minimise  waste  generation  and  contamination  of  the
                    environment.

            C.  Competency-based/Application-based questions:

               1.  Make a list of your efforts to prevent global warming.
              Ans.  •  Tree Plantation.
                  •  Promote use of CNG in vehicles.
                  •  Car Pooling.
                  •  Proper disposal of domestic waste.
               2.  You have a gardner coming at your place on weekends to take care of plants in your garden. How can you help him
                  implement green skills?
              Ans.  •  Using green manure instead of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
                  •  Waste management by recycling dead plants and leaves.
                  •  Less wastage of water while watering them.
                  •  Planting those plants that absorb more carbon in the atmosphere.
