A green auto mechanic operates an automotive repair shop that focuses on preventing pollution and conserving resources. To work as a green auto mechanic, one must make their facility comply with environmental regulations and adopt practices to prevent pollution and conserve resources. This includes properly disposing of fluids and toxic waste rather than dumping them down drains. Being a green auto mechanic helps the environment and is a way to save money while earning a certificate in the field. There are also many other green career opportunities such as gardeners, energy auditors, and urban foresters.
