How Green Economy Contributes in Decreasing the Environment Pollution and Misuse of the Limited Resources?

Abstract

Green economy has invested in the sustainable development of the society across the globe. Therefore, the study has focused on differential ways that green economy provided for the reduction of misusing limited resources along with the reduction of environmental pollution. Since, the study has been conducted on the global issue, the nature of the analysis would be qualitative. The data has been collected from the previous studies on green economy. The results have shown the different factors that affect the society, which included wastes, toxic gases, and the hazardous solvents ecologically as well as economically. The implementation of green chemistry was the solution provided to eliminate poverty and pollution from the society. In the years 1990 and 2010, the emissions of non-methane compounds were increased by 71% and decreased by 4%. Whereas, the emissions of nitrogen oxides were increased by 62% and decreased by 3%. Moreover, intelligent usage of limited resources have provided better ways to increase economic growth and reduce toxins from the atmosphere. Adoption of green economy in the countries can be useful on the economic and social grounds as they helped in decreasing the environment pollution and along with the misuse of limited resources.

The relationship between sustainable innovation and product or service innovation: a survey in companies in Rio Grande do Sul

“…It also appeared on the results, process innovations decreased energy consumption, and it is in line with the research by Gold, Seuring and Beske (2010), Elimam (2017) and Dowell and Muthulingam (2017), demonstrating that SI raises awareness toward environmental sustainability, causing consumers and companies to pursue alternatives to counterbalance consumption practices and the environment. In line with the results of this research, the study by Dowell and Muthulingam (2017) corroborates the research, noting that the implementation of energy-saving initiatives as well as environmental standards affects the implementation costs and adoption decisions of this environmental practice.…”

“…Concerning the construct SI, the question with the highest factor loading (0.867) was the SI2 "Process innovations decreased energy consumption", which corroborates the research by Elimam (2017) and Gold, Seuring and Beske (2010), since s demonstrate a growing awareness of environmental sustainability in the business world; consumers and businesses are looking for alternatives so that there is stability between consumption practices and the environment. Depending on this, we emphasize SI3 "Process innovations decreased waste emission" with factor loading of 0.845, which confirms the research Paulraj (2011) and Dowell and Muthulingam (2017), that is innovations enable the reduction of inputs used in production, moreover increasing reuse and recycling, while improving environmental and financial performance.…”

“…Our planet has limited natural resources, and the constant misuse of these resources coupled with increasing economic activity (production and consumption) requires more inputs of energy and material, compromising its balance and the life of all beings that inhabit it (Panayotou, 2016; Elimam, 2017). According to Guisande, Rueda-Quecho, Rangel-Silva and Ríos-Vasquez (2018), environmental impact assessment studies are most frequently focused on assessing the possible impacts of a proposal and identifying alternatives, in order to minimize environmental damage.…”

Local Disproportions of Quality of Life and Their Influence on the Process of Green Economy Development in Polish Voivodships in 2010–2020

“…The adoption of a green economy can be useful for economic and social reasons as it has helped to reduce environmental pollution and, together with the inappropriate use of scarce resources, shapes the quality of life of the inhabitants. It benefits the region’s economy both socially and environmentally, ensuring better resource use, reducing the misuse of scarce resources, eliminating environmental pollution, and improving the region’s ecological growth [ 118 ].…”

“…Jednak niezrównoważone wykorzystanie zasobów prowadzi do degradacji środowiska i wyczerpania zasobów, zagrażając dobrostanowi ludzkości i środowiska. Trzy filary zrównoważonego rozwoju są odpowiednimi punktami wejścia do identyfikacji problemów i opracowywania zielonych polityk dla gospodarki 7 . Zrównoważony rozwój jest procesem długotrwałym i złożonym.…”
