Special Issue: Green Jobs, Green Recovery
Baywood Publishing Company, Inc, March 2009
In collaboration with the Blue Green Alliance, this special issue, Green Jobs, Green Recovery, presents the speeches and presentations from the second Good Jobs/Green Jobs National Conference held in Washington, D.C., February 4–6, 2009, putting forward powerful ways to rebuild the U.S. economy with good, green jobs in sustainable energy generation, conservation, new transportation systems, and other ways of greening industry.
The authors include: Current Members of the Obama Administration: Lisa Jackson (EPA), Kathleen Sebelius (DHHS). Elected Officials: Governor Martin O'Malley (D, MD), Senators Sherod Brown (D, OH) and Amy Klobuchar (D, MN). Union Leaders from the United Steelworkers, Teamsters, Communication Workers, Laborers, Service Employees, and the AFL-CIO. Environmental Leaders from the Sierra Club, Natural Resources Defense Council and Policy Analysts from the Apollo Alliance, Center for American Progress, and the Alliance for Climate Protection.
The leaders and activists contributing to this issue provide a set of ideas and concepts for a “green recovery,” “green new deal,” and “green economy”—terms chosen to frame a broad program to address the national and international crises resulting from destructive modes of production and consumption and failures to commit to socially just distributions of wealth and resources
