The term green economy has its roots in early ideas around the sustainable development and relationship between environmental management and economicdevelopment. At its most basic level, it is the clean energy economy, consisting primarily of four sectors: renewable energy; green building and energyefficiency technology; energy-efficient infrastructure and transportation; and recycling and waste-to-energy. The green economy is not just about the ability toproduce clean energy, but also technologies that allow cleaner production processes; includes products, processes, and services that reduce environmentalimpacts or improve natural resources use. In other words, it links the three E’s (environment, economy and equity) of development. In the green economy, wemust use renewable energy. Today we primarily use fossil fuels to heat and power our homes and fuel ourcars. It’s convenient to use coal, oil, and natural gas for meeting our energy needs, but we have a limited supply of these fuels on the Earth. We’re using themmuch more rapidly than they are being created. Eventually, they will run out. Renewable energy can help fill this gap. In addition, burning fossil fuels,sends greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, trapping the sun’s heat and contributing to global warming. Thus, using renewable energy is better for theenvironment. Renewable energy will also help us develop energy independence and security. Renewableenergy are plentiful and technologies of this energy areimproving all the time. We often call renewable energy technologies clean or green , because they producefew of any pollutants. Today, renewable energy is not only as sources of energy. Renewable sources of energy are in line with an overall strategy of green economy and sustainable development.
