If it is not white, not blue, it must be green! How else can I describe the constant care,love and dedication taken in growing my food, your food, our food?
In our digital age we have coined more words than can be found in most dictionaries, for every gizmo and gadget in our techno world. So of course it would not take long before we had to coin anew word for the work that has people employed in the environmental sectors of the economy.
In the words of Green for All founder Van Jones (Special Advisor on Green Jobs to the White House.):
“A green-collar job is a blue-collar job, upgraded to better respect the environment.”
You see Green collar jobs do exist, so put now the initiative to start a Green collar job and…wait for it….Eureka! Green Collar Initiatives now exists!
To further expand on the various jobs that would be a Green Collar Initiative, I looked to Wikipedia for help. Which stated the following; “Green collar workers include professionals such as conservation movement workers, environmental consultants, council environmental services/waste management/recycling managers/officers, environmental or biological systems engineers, green building architects, holistic passive solar building designers, solar energy and wind energy engineers and installers, nuclear engineers, green vehicle engineers, “green business” owners, green vehicle, organic farmers, environmental lawyers, ecology educators, and ecotechnology workers, and sales staff working with these services or products. Green collar workers also include vocational or trade-level workers: electricians who install solar panels, plumbers who install solar water heaters, recycling centre/MRF attendants, process managers and collectors, construction workers who build energy-efficient green buildings and wind power farms, construction workers who weatherize buildings to make them more energy efficient, or other workers involvedclean, renewable, sustainable future energy development.”
The question now is,” where do I fit in the world of green collar initiatives?” Where do you fit?”
