Follow me on:

Thanks to both concern about the environment and an increased focus on energy efficiency, sustainability, and cost-cutting on the part of employers, green job opportunities are growing, despite the down job market. James Elsen, SustainLane Media CEO, says "Green collar jobs are on the rise, thanks to a growing national consciousness on environmental issues, the rapid growth of the alternative energy industries and President Obama’s pledge to generate new green jobs during his term.”

SustainLane, a top destination web site for green living, has launched a green collar job board. You'll find hundreds of job listings from across the United States, targeting employment opportunities that enhance sustainability. There's also advice on how to find a green collar job and how to green the job you already have.

Take a look, as well, at the other sites that list green jobs, you'll find opportunities to both earn a paycheck and make a difference in the world.
