Green Collar Jobs
What exactly is a "Green Collar" job? In honesty, there is no standard definition, but in general a green collar job is one that satisfies the demand for sustainable development by applying environmentally conscious design, policy and technology in hopes to improve sustainability and conservation. It's a concept that strives to conserve the environment, reduce mankind's ecological footprint, and create an entirely new branch of employment. What doesn't sound great about this idea?
