I believe whatever people can do to help the environment will ALWAYS make a difference. I am not to experienced in this field, but love learning about new things. I love how my dream career is also needed in this field. Leadership and teamwork is so important.

There is now a grant in Chicago for placing green collar workers in the Green Exchange. Here is the article: http://www.greenexchange.com/read.php?id=13

While we likely won’t see any federal funding until a new administration is elected, it’s nice to see some funding at the local level!

My Electric Car group is making a presentation to the City of sarasota in Florida about the impact of going green to benefit the city of sarasota. One topic will be the growth of green collar jobs as may realize that we can no longer just dump our waste into the environment.

I’m writing a paper on Green collar jobs for my final exam and I was wondering what else I need to know, or something else that would be a good thing to know?

Hi. I recently finished college in NJ, and am considering a “green” career. Aside from sustainablebusines.com, greenbiz, and greencollarhiring.com, what are some other about green collar jobs?

White collar workers will have to play key roles in the green economy, they would still be needed for accounting, architecture, and legal to name a few. read this post, Marck, it will make you feel better: http://greencollarmanufacturing.wordpress.com/2008/03/11/expand-green-sights/
“Again, the scope of green should not be limited by any means, it influences everything around us and that’s why it’s such a bright future to head towards.”

What I think green collar workers is starting today, because they pretend to replace white and blue collar workers with green collar experience and less payments on them. Green collar workers is going to be the most popular in the future. What is going to be our next step for white collars like us?

Does anyone have resources to provide a list of contractors which may be providing blue/green collar training?

Everyone seems to keep saying to build green, but I can’t find a list of contractors who actually do the “Green building”?

Sick of building inefficient boxes,

What color of green is your collar?

I am not green in the way that people think of that color as meaning environmentalist.

I am green as in the Forest Green of the Marine Corps winter uniform.

I am not green as in in-experienced.

I am green as in the Green and White of Michigan State University.

I am green in terms of saving Green Backs by conserving energy.

I work as an Energy Conservation Engineer, Does that mean I am green collar worker?

Then why does my wife say I have a black collar when she washes my shirts?

What about tax incentives? If the government wants a greater up-take, offer people tax breaks…
