The Green Jobs Act Needs You

[09.26.07]

From the Ella Baker Center:

"...the media so far has missed one of the most interesting and innovative proposals that will be voted on: the Green Jobs Act of 2007.

This ground-breaking legislation will make $120 million a year available across the country to begin training workers (and would-be workers) for jobs in the clean energy sector. When the bill becomes law, 35,000 people a year will benefit from cutting edge, vocational education in fields that could literally save the Earth."

This is the kind of legislative thinking that we need; not only does it offer marketable vocational skills to those in need, it also creates a workforce ready and able to help grow a more sustainable economy.
