Sunday reading: Green the bailout
September 28, 2008 on 12:40 pm | In green jobs/environment, inspiration | No CommentsI have become a big fan of Thomas L. Friedman, who writes some great op-ed pieces for the New York Times.
His “Green the Bailout” column today is great, arguing that the big bailout, while necessary, should also build a foundation for a new movement or opportunity for our country to lead. He advocates that the U.S. should launch a energy-technology revolution in conjunction with the bailout, one that will stimulate the economy by creating new types of jobs, from green-collar construction jobs to solar-panel designing jobs.
I definitely agree. Both Friedman and Al Gore have offered our country a vision of what is possible. I hope more leaders take up the mantle!
In the meantime, I will keep calling attention to green career opportunities. There is a new piece on Yahoo! Green about a new resource for finding green jobs, called the “Green Jobs Guidebook.” Check it out.
