Answer 2

Most jobs if not all are. We must work to live. Perhaps you should consider a job such as a scientist or engineer who develops ways to save energy. Would it not be wonderful if someone could develop a gasoline engine that was even 50% efficient?

Answer 3

All that are essentially needed but cause lots of harm.  These include all carbon dioxide emitting plants such as power plants from burning coal to landfills which generate methane.

Although new steps are being taken, to direct the CO2 from entering the atmosphere by dumping it into the ground, same with landfills and methane gas, although methane is able of creating energy, similar to natural gas.
