Green Collar Jobs Training Program Update (6/25/09)

After taking a short lunch break, the offline sustainability group moved to another greenhouse to plant kalo. There the workers tilled the soil and fertilizer mix manually and planted kalo corms into the newly turned ground. When that was done they covered the plant crop with mulch to increase the kalo's chance for successful growth. Trainees also took the time to inspect the kalo that has been previously planted.

The look Green Collar Job Training Program workers will give you
if you talk about not being sustainable!

As if they hadn't done a lot of work that day, the labor group also made a trip to Mountain View to pot more kalo at the Green Collar Technologies property. It was a day full of work and lots of achievements in the world of green collar jobs and sustainability practices and opportunities.
