If you think the whole “going green” thing is just a trend, think again. With everything from tiny electric cars to eco-friendly dog food, America is on a kick to make the environment a better place to live. And now the government is joining in on the fun: The United States economy is expected to produce over four million green jobs in the next 30 years.
But that’s not all. The hope is that almost half of our electricity will come from alternate fuels, like wind, solar and hydro power. Whether you’re an eco-geek or not, this is a great move for both our planet and our job market. Not only will we cut down on waste and lower prices on things like gas and utilities bills, but the unemployment line will shrink as well.
Here a few more ways creating green jobs will help out more than just our economy:
- Kermit the Frog can stop his whining–soon, it will be easy being green.
- Maybe leprechauns won’t get such a bad rep anymore. And with more jobs, we humans won’t need to gank their gold just to full up our gas tanks.
- Children all over the world will be confused by the meaning of “going green” and finally start eating their Brussels sprouts.
While we’re on the subject, remember to do your part at work by recycling, encouraging the boss to use energy-efficient light bulbs or carpooling to and from the office with coworkers.
- Start your hourly job search now.
