1. Zero Carbon Emission: Zero carbon emission is the most basic factor
of green economy as well as sustainable environment. The main theme
is to create an energy infrastructure with zero carbon emissions that is
powered 100 percent by renewable energy. For example we can take
solar energy.
2. Sustainable & Efficient Energy: Introducing sustainable and efficient
energy that helps to create an effective value addition in the process of
green economy.
3. Sustainable Governance Model for Ecosystem: The preservation
and protection of the world’s ecosystems, biological diversity and forests
in partnership with indigenous peoples and all relevant stakeholders
through the creation of sustainable governance models, markets and
business models for delivering, maintaining and paying for ecosystem
services through green economics.
4. Balancing Environment: Managing and adjusting the balance in the
environment through Green Economy can help to create an extensive
impact in creating sustainable environment. Like we can use a non-
fossil-fuel heating system.
METHODOLOGY
Data will be entered into the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS)
for analysis. SPSS will be used to perform the analysis as it aids in
organizing and summarizing the data by the use of descriptive statistics.
Descriptive statistics will be used to analyze the data because this study
will be modeled on a descriptive framework. Descriptive statistics namely
means scores; standard deviation and frequency distribution will be used to
analyze the data. Data presentation will be done by the use of frequency
tables, pie charts, bar charts and graphs. Statistical tests such as
independent sample ANOVA will be used to analyze the differences in
means of the groups. Logarithmic regression analysis will be used to
understand the relation between the dependent and the independent
variable. Regression analysis is a commonly used tool for measuring the
effect of independents variables over dependent variable.

Discussion:
Beyond Zero Emissions, a non-profit, independent climate change solutions
research and advocacy group is currently working on the Zero Carbon
Emission 2020 Project (ZCA2020). ZCA2020 is a casted, detailed blueprint
for a transition to a zero-emissions economy in ten years using proven,
commercialized technology. The purpose of ZCA2020 is to show the public
and decision-makers that reaching a zero emissions economy is not only
desirable, but ready to be implemented and only awaits sign-off from the
Government. The document aims to initiate serious and urgent efforts to
mitigate the risks posed by global warming, and to describe the
infrastructure and resources required to reduce carbon emissions to zero in
the medium term. Reliable, peer-reviewed climate science calls for a
reduction in atmospheric CO2 (carbon dioxide) concentrations from today’s
level at almost 390 parts per million (ppm) to less than 350ppm, most
likely 300ppm. Incremental reductions in carbon emissions, such as the
proposals for 5%-25% reductions currently on the political agenda, will not
achieve this target if adopted globally. Transitioning to a zero-emissions
economy by 2020 represents doing its bit to prevent catastrophic global
warming. ZCA2020 relies exclusively on technologies and solutions that are
commercially available and that can be casted with confidence. ZCA2020
calls for the provision of infrastructure that will allow the maintenance or
improvement of living standards, comfort, and personal mobility whilst
achieving the necessary decarburization.
2. Use sunlight to our advantage. The sun’s rays can contribute heat in
the winter but force air conditioners and fans to work harder -- and use
more energy -- in the summer. During winter months, you can take
advantage of sunlight by opening your curtains during the day to allow
the sun to naturally heat your home. During warmer months, use light-
colored window shades or blinds to reflect heat back outside, keeping
your home cooler and more efficient. Using natural light effectively will
also reduce the need to use artificial light.
