The "green" craze is everywhere, and it's a good thing. I've even started to make the switch to energy-efficient light bulbs, and I can't wait for our new recycling bin to be delivered within the next few weeks (sad but true)! I'm also trying to convince my husband to buy green cleaning products from now on because they do the job just as well.
So I was excited to hear about "green jobs," which are basically jobs that would result from the switch to alternative energy sources like wind, solar, biomass, and other fuels. I'd thought so much about the positive effects this would have on the environment, but not really the economy. California is a great example of the potential - by investing in energy efficiency, they've created 1.5 million jobs and increased payrolls by $45 billion.
Exciting stuff. I'm thinking about ways NicoleInk can get in on this action!
