Green Jobs Fight Global Warming

Posted on 22 August 2007

California Senator Barbara Boxer has just posted her statement at a hearing she convened. She is Chairman of the Senate’s Committee on Environment and Public Works. Here it is. It’s not too long to read.

I just recently did an article on Green Collar Jobs, and how this is great way to fight global warming and poverty as well. Many politicians are also starting to promote this idea and it is spreading rapidly across the US.

What’s going on on the other side of the pond? I tend to find Europe always ahead of the game on green issues, or is this one issue the US has finally taken the lead?

If you liked that post, then try these...
