I'm ready for the green economy--Are you?

Today is Green Jobs Now day. All over the country, people are showing up at city halls and on public streets to show their civic and national leaders they're ready to roll up their sleeves and go to work building a safer, greener economy.

Americans are ready to build the new economy. It's time to invest in saving the planet and the people. It's time for green jobs now!

Van Jones and the Green Jobs Now Team

Van Jones and his Green Jobs Revolution team say that millions of people are skilled and available to help:

• Weatherize thousands of buildings
• Install millions of solar panels on public and private buildings
• Develop local and sustainable food options in their own communities
• Engineer and wire public transit systems and smart electricity grids

There's so much more. Join the Green Jobs Revolution. Find an action near you today and do your part.

Can green jobs help save the economy as well as the planet?

Next Saturday is
Green Jobs Now
National Day of Action





More than 800,000 workers lost their jobs in the last four months, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Situation Summary. More than half of those, 417,000 breadwinners, lost their jobs just last month.

Both presidential candidates support green jobs as a way to stimulate the economy, help workers and solve some of our energy problems. Green Jobs Now and the organizations that support it aren't waiting until January 20 for those jobs to appear. They're taking action now.

So can you. Watch this video, then jump to Green Jobs Now and check out what's happening in your neck of the woods. Better still, sign up to host an event or take an action yourself. The key is to let our civic and national leaders know we're all looking for green jobs now.



How exciting is it, to know that so many ordinary people, in so many ordinary places, are looking for jobs that give back more than a paycheck--jobs that help us all build a more Ordinary kind of future?

I'd love to hear what you're doing to promote green jobs this week. If you can do nothing else, share this post with people you know.
