Challenge 3-A
This paper seeks to enhance environmental conversation by introducing the use of green
energy. There is a growing need to conserve our environment by exploring other means to carry
out our daily activities such as transport. In this paper, attention is paid on the current means of
transport and the type of energy used to drive the activity across the world. This is due to the
negative impact that it has created on the environment including pollution through emission of
harmful gases and also the depletion of the sources of energy used to drive transport. The paper
looks at the use of electricity to drive transport as electricity can be obtained from many sources
including wind-power and the solar system. Theoretical and empirical insights are applied to

Environmental conservation is a topic that has gained a lot of attention in the recent past
as a result of the deteriorating climate change conditions. It is therefore important for every
economic sector to review its operations and device means within which it can participate in the
drive towards environmental conservation. The transport sector, as highlighted in the article by
Ong et al (2012), is a major source of greenhouse emissions. This article, along the others
highlighted above present an analysis of the harm created by the transport sector, as well as
means that the sector can be revised to support the drive towards environmental conservation.

While talking about environmental conservation, use of green energy is one of the topics
that are discussed. Industries and economic sectors have embraced the use of green energy to run
their activities successfully. In the transport sector, there is a need to change the type of energy
used and how it is used. For example, the article by Bergi (2017) presents a framework on how
green energy can be incorporated in the transport sector as well as the morphological conditions
required.

- Transport sector has been accused of having a high level of green house emissions from
- There is a need to adopt new sources of energy that are less harmful to the environment
- Green energy sometimes referred to as clean energy can be obtained from different
sources including solar energy, wind power and other organic sources.
- There are many benefits associated with the use of green energy, among them being
- Among the many uses of green energy is to drive transport as a way of enhancing
environmental conservation.
- Areas of integrating green energy need to be developed to substitute the current source of
3.B.IV.1
Environmental conservation has gained attention in the 21st century as a result of the
rising levels of climate change. One of the reasons for the increased climate change is the form
of energy being used to run daily activities in the world. The form of energy that has been noted
as most harmful to the environment is the use of fossil fuels. In the transport industry, fossil fuels
are the most commonly used forms of energy. Thus, it is direly necessary that alternative sources
of energy that can be used in the transport sector are identified to help drive the environmental
3. B.IV.2
Transport sector has been identified as a major source of green house emissions. This
means that as a result of using fossil fuels in the transport industry, more harm is being done on
the environment, undoing the efforts being made by other sectors of the world economies. This
topic tries to explain the importance of adopting other sources of energy apart from fossil fuels
and how these sources can be integrated into the transport sector.

This topic can provided a basis for policy formulation on environmental conservation in
the transport sector as well as infrastructure development to support the use of the alternative
