Growing The Green Jobs Boom

posted by sustainablebiz on Oct 19th, 2009 at 7:30 am

From our friends at Green for All:

This week marks a major milestone for our movement. 

Cities and states are beginning to report how many jobs have been created locally through funding from President Obama's Recovery Act. And today, the government released the first job creation numbers, covering just 1.5% of total Recovery investments.

With just this first small glimpse, and less than 50% of the Recovery money distributed, we are already seeing amazing victories for green jobs from across the country.

In Portland, Oregon, cutting edge use of Recovery funds will create thousands of good clean-energy jobs for low-income workers, weatherize 100,000 homes, and launch the first model of paying for home weatherization through utility bills.

Green For All is proud to partner with the City of Portland on this landmark project!

Join us next Thursday, along with Mayor Adams of Portland and Margie Harris, Executive Director of the Energy Trust of Oregon, to discuss the Portland project:
