Popis: The relevance of the study is determined by the fact that green industry is a new area of the economy aimed at preserving the well-being of society through the efficient use of Earth resources. The development of humankind is impossible without the impact on the environment and the use of natural resources: factories are built, waste is incinerated, minerals are mined, forests are cut, and smoking factories are launched. Almost all human actions affect the ecosystem of the Earth; hence, the article discusses whether it is possible to make this impact less harmful. Studies are given on the harm caused by large-scale production to the environment and how to reduce it; how the environmental policy of cities is changing and enterprises are transformed; what is a ‘green industry’ and how to organize production according to its principles. The empirical basis of the study is the research report of the World Health Organization; American scientists and experts of the Swiss company IQAir, the data of the rating of the US Blacksmith Institute (Pure Earth NGO) for the study of the toxic cities, as well as Eric Hobsbawm’s scientific works. The practical significance of the research is aimed at the rational use and organization of work with natural resources, their economical consumption, the use of environmentally friendly technologies in production and in life, and the creation of sustainable conditions for investment in such projects not only by the government authorities, but also by the private sector.
