There's a lot of talk these days about "green collar" jobs - that they are the answer to our ailing economy as well as global warming. Well, it's time we start seeing these jobs in action.
Duke University has released a report that links low-carbon jobs to a growth in U.S. manufacturing. Now, EDF has started to map where these green jobs are, starting with 12 states - AR, CO, FL, GA, IN, MI, MO, NH, OH, PA, TN and VA (Visit LessCarbonMoreJobs.org for more info).
Whether you are in one of these states or not, you can help your own state! We need every governor in the country to be aware of this project. And we need to encourage them to promote capping carbon as a way of incentivizing these low-carbon companies.
Green jobs are here! We just need to start rewarding their innovations. Please write to your governor today.
