Solving Real World Problems with Environmental and Green Engineering
LET’S FIND OUT ENGINEERING KRISTI LEW
THE GREEN TEAM Engineers are people who use their knowledge of science to fix problems They produce things that can make life easy safe or fun To do this they might use their skills to improve an object or they might invent something new Lots of engineers use a method called green engineering The purpose of green engineering is to help protect the land water and air that make up Earth’s environment Some engineers practice green engineering by deciding to use building and power supplies that are safe Engineers invented a car engine that can run on used cooking oil 4
and plentiful Others apply green engineering by cutting down on waste and the use of natural resources These practices allow an engineer’s inventions to be made for many years to come An engineer works on a bus that will run on both electricity and a fuel called diesel fuel Natural resources are things found in nature that can be used by people They include air water plants oil and soil 5
