Green growth

Green growth is when businesses and countries try to meet the needs of people now, while also protecting and looking after the environment in the future. Basically, trying to make sure that the natural world around us will still be healthy for the next generation, even though we need to use resources now to make the lives of people today better. To do this, people have to use less natural resources, reduce waste and pollution, find new sources of energy and make sure that they use technology to help, not hurt, the environment. This way, everyone can have a better life without ruining the planet.
