4. GREEN INDUSTRIES.
As traditional industries struggle with the public’s
increasing environmental consciousness, there is a number
of new green industries that are receiving more attention. I
have highlighted a number of new green industries that we
will all hear more of in the coming years.
Green Manufacturing
When we talk about green manufacturing, we are looking at
an industry that uses traditional
manufacturing methods and
factories to create items for
green industries. Many traditional
engineering companies have
found new markets in the
solar, wind and environmental
industries. By manufacturing
parts for wind turbines, solar panels and geothermal
equipment, traditional manufacturing companies can become
more profitable switching over to green manufacturing.
Studies have suggested that the manufacturing sector
could create about 1 million jobs directly and another 2.5
million indirect jobs in related industries.
Green Retailing
Green retailing is retrofitting an existing retail business
to meet the demands of customers who want
environmentally friendly products and services. This
industry is quickly growing as more green products are
available and the increased demand by the public. Study
after study has shown that the public will buy green
products even in the current depressed market.
Smart Grid Technology
The smart grid industry is a national effort to modernize
the electric transmission grid with upgraded, automated,
interactive technology. This is hoped to save energy,
reduce cost and increase reliability of the transmission
grid. The updating of the grid will also help with the
4
additions of the new energy sources which will require
5. Secure Document Destruction Services
Paper document security is just as important as
electronic: research
shows that most identity
thieves obtain
information through
traditional paper-based
sources rather than
electronic channels.
“We can talk about the
number of adults with
developmental disabilities that we employ, we can
talk about being environmentally friendly„ but
the most important service we offer —and what
our customers are looking for— security.”

6. UNEP Green Economy Initiative
In 2008, the United Nations Environment
Programme (UNEP) launched the Green Economy
Initiative. The Green Economy Report, published
in 2010, demonstrates how greening the
economy can be a new engine for growth, a net
generator of decent jobs and a vital strategy
for the elimination of persistent poverty. In
2012, the Business Case for the Green Economy
report builds on UNEP's experience in resource
efficiency activities with the private sector and
along the value chain, such as development of
sustainable consumption and production
tools, market-based instruments and
voluntary approaches, multi-stakeholder
partnerships, technical support and capacity
building activities. The UNEP Green Economy
reports, as well as activities in the Resource
Efficiency area will help underpin the
operations of the Green Industry Platform .

7. 2 Eco-Friendly Jobs to Consider in Your
After hearing about the Search
Job amazing data gathered about
how the green industry is prospering and creating
jobs, many unemployed workers
are seeking work in this blossoming
fairly young economy. There are
such a great amount of work
opportunities for people searching
for them that it is hard to process
and sift through them all to find the
perfect fit for you. So, in this article, let's show you
some possibilities that can satisfy anyone's picky
tastes and needs.
Engineer
The engineering profession is needed in all sectors
of the green industry. There is not even a single kind
of engineer that is more popular than the other; that
is how popular and in demand those who possess the
education and qualifications to fulfill the needs of
hundreds of clients and employers. Although
engineers are tend to stir thoughts of buildings,
roads, and basic infrastructure, electrical and
software engineers are also needed to program
systems and grids. The wages of an engineer in the
clean economy are fairly high and not to mention
popular and widespread!
Agriculture
Throughout local grocery stores and farmers
markets, you will find stamps and labels on more
and more items indicating that the produce is one
hundred percent organic. In recent research,
environmentalists have found that methods used in
mass production (pesticides and other chemicals)
are extremely harmful to the environmental
surrounds. Also, the products degrade the health
state of animals and humans. So, help contribute to 7
the growing field of organic farming or become a
scientist to help farmers become more energy
