Green Collar Work - Not your traditional blue or white collar job

re-size
It seems as though everywhere you look you see green. From fuels, to fashion to food we have been made to think that thinking green is thinking forward. A group of workers has mobilized around the demand for this new kind of product. Green Collar workers are dreaming up and building eco-chic goods across the spectrum, leaving traditional Blue and White Collar as things of the past. Some say the shift could save our environment and our economy.

    Duh, hello America. How hard can this be? Retrain your skilled workforce to do green collar work. Generate jobs and stimulate the economy. Produce clean energy that potentially creates cashflow for anyone with a big flat spot. Smile all the way to the bank in a cleaner, greener environment. Little to no downside. Nice timelapse. Great Pod! Should be on TV NOW!

    check out this article from SFGate on the shortage of green-collar workers:

    "California's new green tech economy won't get very far if the state doesn't develop the workforce that eco-friendly businesses need, corporate and government leaders said Monday at a summit on what are being called green-collar jobs."

    This is such an outstanding video that highlights a real bright spot during a period of economic uncertainty and gloom.

    To help do our part to make sure more see this powerful piece, we are going to link to SkillTV.net.

    Hope others spread the word as well so more can enjoy the maintenance profit potential available.

    I loved how this pod melded economic and business interests with human and environmental concerns.

    It took a conflict (environmet, lack of jobs, increasing competition) and actually showed the positives -- without seeming preachy or fluffy.

    Great use of character -- the pacing was excellent, too, I loved the shots in the car. Anytime you can get an interview that isn't a "talking head" you shoudl go for it. This really worked for me.

    Great job.
