Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?

Maybe--But Not Sure What to Organize

Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:

I'm not a scientist - although I'm thinking about going back to school to learn more about it!!!

In the meantime, I can sell / market / talk in groups to try to increase awareness.

What excites you about this campaign?

I like Picken's style & his leadership. It's a great plan. I had a similar idea, but not the clout to pull it off. My idea involved using natural gas to provide energy for a small hydrogen fuel cell that we'd each have in our homes to generate our own electricity. We'd get rid of the electrical wires on telephone poles (a wasteful way to transport electricity.)

I would like to see someone start working on a way to convert regular cars to natural gas.

What do you want to do to help?

I would like to be actively involved in this & other grass roots orgs to solve the other problems we face as a nation. Of course this is a good one to focus on & complete FIRST!!!

Companies are stepping up their environmental initiatives, and that may mean a boom in "green-collar" jobs.

A recent forecast by the American Solar Energy Society found that renewable energy and energy-efficient industries were responsible for the creation of nearly 8.5 million jobs in 2006, and by 2030 that number is expected to reach 40 million.

Colleges and universities are taking notice, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc., a job placement consulting group.

Many have introduced specialized degree programs in eco-commerce, environmental accounting, green and social marketing, and ecological economics.

"The demand for 'green-collar' jobs is really exploding, especially as the cost of energy continues to climb," said John Challenger, the group's chief executive. "Students need to start thinking about developing skills that will give them an edge for these types of careers that did not even exist until recently."

Popular jobs include urban planners, forestry professionals and environmental lawyers, Challenger said. There is also a growing demand for architects and engineers with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification from the U.S. Green Building Council, a Washington, D.C.-based non-profit.
