Energy Conservation
              Energy conservation is critical to minimizing our dependency on non-renewable resources such as fossil fuels. So, one
              significant strategy to save energy is to employ ecologically friendly natural resources, such as solar and wind energy,
              and to conserve oil, gas, and coal. Some ideas for energy conservation include:




                                                         Using solar lighting
                                                             equipment





                                                                                       Using LED lighting in
                                Heating and
                             insulation control                                        place of tube lights
                                                                                           and bulbs.

              Water Conservation
              Water harvesting and conservation are examples of green occupations. Rooftop rainwater harvesting is the practise of
              collecting rainwater in tanks to be used later. It is suitable for usage in all types of homes and buildings. It can also aid
              in rising the water table. Water pumps powered by a cycle are being used in place of pumps powered by electricity.
              These  use  no  electricity  and  give  a  means  for  people  to  exercise.  Some  frequent  green  occupations  in  agriculture
              include water quality testing, water conservation, water management, and so on. Drip irrigation with bamboo channels
              is an environment-friendly approach to irrigate the ground. It uses water efficiently and without wasting any. It is less
              expensive to construct, and when the bamboo rots after 2–3 years, it can be applied to the soil as manure.
