Reduce and Mitigate Pollution and Waste and Conserve Our Natural Resources, Recycle Manage water and other natural resources. Prevent and control emissions and pollution. Treat water and remediate waste. Examples: trained workers safely remediate hazardous materials; air quality monitoring. Energy Efficiency Reduce energy use. Produce or install energy-efficient products. Provide energy-efficiency services. Retrofit, weatherize, or improve efficiency of buildings. Improve energy distribution (smart grid) and transportation. Examples: engineers develop lighting and other products that curb and monitor energy use while electricians and others install them. Education, Training and Support of Green Workforce Provide services to the other four green areas. Help develop our green workforce. Examples: teachers train workers for the clean energy economy; legal services; environmental consultants. Natural, Sustainable, Environmentally-Friendly Production Mitigate harmful environmental impacts of products and processes and use less energy by improving or developing alternative products and methods, including use of natural or recycled materials.
