Green engineering

Do you know what happens when we don't take care of our environment? Pollution happens! Air, water and land get dirty because we use materials that are bad for the environment. But we can change this by practicing green engineering!

Green engineering is when people use science and technology to make things that are good for the environment. When we use green engineering, we are making sure that we don't hurt our world while also making things that we need like houses, cars and clothes.

When we make things using green engineering, we try to use materials that don't harm the environment. For example, we use wood from trees that are planted again once they're cut down, and not from trees in the forest. We also use materials that can be recycled, so that we don't have to always make new things.

Green engineering helps us save energy too! By creating things that need less energy to work, we can help our planet by using fewer resources. For example, when we make a car that uses hybrid technology, we are saving gas because the car doesn't need as much fuel.

In summary, green engineering is when we use science and technology to make things that help the environment. We use materials that are good for the planet and create products that use less energy. By using everything people need without causing pollution, we can continue to enjoy our wonderful world!
