<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for ‘Getting Green Done’ speaks hard truths about sustainable business]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by MattHerrick http://www.grist.org/article/2009-04-01getting-green-done-schendler/ Thu, 02 Apr 2009 09:34:20 -0700 http://www.grist.org/article/2009-04-01getting-green-done-schendler/1 The point about blue collar / green collar is a good one. Schendler's analysis is extremely relevant to a series of articles that our writers publishing now. We talked to a lot of the government and private sector members in some of the U.S. cities trying to move toward efficient building, housing and transporation. These efforts require tradespeople and heavy lifters, as suggested. And although it is early in the process, the attraction of "green collar" jobs is not much different than the attraction of blue collar jobs for the actual tradesperson/business. It'd be nice if more towns like Greensburg, Kansas, existed as a measuring stick. http://www.america.gov/local-government-labs.html

That would save energy, and cost more, so they would look as though they weren't being chintzy. Shoot, they could include it in their advertising "Going green with the best!" or something similar.
