            5.4. SIGNIFICANCE OF GREEN JOBS

            Green jobs help to reduce negative environmental impacts. Their benefits include:
               •  Keeping greenhouse gas emissions under control: Reducing greenhouse gas
              emissions is crucial in combating climate change and ensuring a sustainable
              future. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone,
              and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to
              global warming.  These emissions  result from industrial activities, fossil  fuel
              combustion, deforestation,  vehicle emissions,  and agricultural  practices.  To
              mitigate their impact, individuals and industries are transitioning to renewable
              energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power, adopting energy-efficient technologies, and promoting
              sustainable transportation options like electric vehicles and public transit. Additionally, afforestation and reforestation
              efforts help absorb carbon dioxide, while innovations in carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology offer new ways
              to reduce emissions.  By embracing cleaner energy,  sustainable agriculture,  and eco-friendly industrial practices,
              societies can effectively control greenhouse gas emissions and protect the environment for future generation.
               •  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: It is an effective way to reduce environmental impact and promote sustainability. In
                 paper mills, damaged rolls are returned to the production line as raw materials, minimising waste and resource
                 consumption. Similarly, plastic offcuts and scraps are reintegrated into new products during the manufacturing
                 process. In the textile industry, fabric scraps and defective clothing are repurposed into new garments, insulation
                 materials, or upholstery. The construction industry also embraces reuse by incorporating recycled concrete, bricks,
                 and wood into new building projects. Additionally, electronic waste is salvaged for valuable components like metals
                 and circuit boards, which are then used in the production of new electronic devices. These practices not only reduce
                 waste but also conserve natural resources, lower production costs, and decrease pollution, making them essential
                 for a circular economy.

              o  Maintaining quality control: It waste by minimising the number of defective products. Automated monitoring
                 systems,  such as AI-powered inspections, detect production issues  early.  In the automobile industry, robotic
                 sensors ensure precision in assembling parts. The food industry uses sorting machines to remove defective items
                 before  packaging.  Pharmaceutical companies employ advanced  testing to ensure  medicine purity,  preventing
                 batch rejections.
