Switching jobs may sound like a frightening proposition in the midst of an economic tailspin but it might just be the perfect time to contemplate becoming a Salary Green. The folks at Grist explain: "At the end of 2007, Achim Steiner of the United Nations Environment Program predicted that 'millions of new jobs' would prove to be a silver lining of 'the cloud of climate change.' In the U.S., says UNEP, more than 5.3 million environmental jobs were generated in 2005-10 times the number in the U.S. pharmaceutical industry. See, it's like we've always said: tree-hugs, not drugs."
GreenJobsNow.com will help you catch the Salary Green vibe: "On September 27, 2008, nearly 700 communities and more than 50,000 people across America sent a clear message to our leaders: 'We're ready for green jobs now!' We can't drill and burn our way out of the current crisis. But, working together, we can invest and invent our way out."
"Getting a green job, or with a company that's going green, is becoming increasingly popular, especially with recent graduates and entry-level employees," writes Collin Dunn of Planet Green.
