1. What is green engineering?

Green engineering approaches the design of products and processes by applying financially
and technologically feasible processes and products in a manner that simultaneously
decreases the amount of pollution that is generated by a source, minimizes exposures to
potential hazards as well as protecting human health without relinquishing the economic
efficiency and viability.

2. What is the first step a green engineer should take when deciding a project?

The first step that the green engineers should take before deciding his projects is to built and
produce something with the a minimun damage in the environment and the humans, wich will
cause the products an processes to be more cost effective in the long run.

3. How can any engineer be a green engineer?

For any engineer the first thing they have to do is utilize the green engineering principles
regardless of the specific area of that they are focused on, and then, apply that principles in
their futures projects.

4. How a green engineer manages to solve some problems when doing a project?

A green engineer to solve a problema, first of all is to analyze the situation and how their
action will affect the environment the most, so they choose the action that less effect will do.
After analyze the situation and take a decisión they design, manufacture products and
processes that will help to keep the environment, and the humans health .

5. What are the two main concerns of green engineering?

The green engineering worries in where the products and processes are done and where they
are produced, and also is focused in how that will disrup the natural ecosystem or culture of
humans.
