Industry
As our population increases, so does the demand for products. Unfortunately industrial processes and increased production rates have a negative impact on our environment and cause increased emissions.
We can do more to help address this by changing our methods and practices and becoming more resource efficient. This could be (for example) through the use of modern technology, using smarter energy systems, improving waste management and recycling services, and changing the materials we use.
