The Greening of the American Work Force
May 26th, 2008 admin
From erratic and unpredictable weather patterns, contaminated watersheds affecting potable water supplies and the growing urban air contamination causing respiratory problems in children and the elderly. A new workforce will be needed to address the rapidly changing concerns of a society undergoing the challenges of fewer natural resources coupled with an increasing global demand. Green Collar workers will be needed to begin a new era of earth friendly stewardship with energy conservation and green power generation as paramount to a sustainable society. President Barack Obama is counting on passing a bold, new initiative to employ 2.5 million workers in the next two years, many of those will be rolling up their sleeves and working along with green technologies pushed by Al Gore, Dennis Kucinich, and other green-minded reformers. Let us not only change our light bulbs to compact fluorescent, but also politically support those on a local, state and federal level, the ones committed to a greener place for all to live.
