To bring folks up to speed on what’s happening with green jobs, green
organizations, and our bright green future, I thought it worth sharing
a few resources that provide top-notch intelligence on the movement
writ large.
Check out the “State of Green Business 2008 Report” and a recent
report on the intersection of human rights and green jobs entitled
“Green Collar Jobs in America’s Cities,” published by the Apollo
Alliance (www.apolloalliance.org).
The Ella Baker Center and, for those in SF, SF
Connect’s Environmental initiatives are also making waves at the intersection of community, environment, and human rights. More on those through the links
below:

SF Connect: Environment

Bottom line: now’s the time to get educated, involved,
and passionate about greening the workforce, saving the planet, and
spreading the good green word.
Peace, love, and all the rest, Nick
Let’s start living GREEN from the ground up. We must demand that the homes & neighborhoods in which we live are kind to our environment and protect our ecosystems. It can be done - we’re doing it with Avington Park. Raising the bar.
