Green Jobs
A greener economy will create American jobs. Since 2000 3 million manufacturing jobs have been lost and corporations have shipped more than 525,000 white-collar overseas. At the same time energy costs are skyrocketing. A bold plan is needed to revitalize the American economy and lessen our energy needs.
Dear [ Decision Maker ] , We must reinvest in the American workforce, and rebuild our economy. American's can benefit from supporting clean energy: Clean energy investments could create more thousands of good jobs for American workers putting clean energy solutions to work. I want to help the Working America campaign combat global warming by creating a new generation of good green jobs.

A 'green job' is more then just a job with an environmental conscious. Green jobs provide a livable wage and a career ladder to move workers into higher-skilled occupations. Green jobs mean a sustainable economy, where environmental goals go hand in hand with social and economic goals.
