Clean Energy, Green Jobs and Global Warming Solutions

By investing in a clean energy economy, New York has the opportunity to create 50,000 well-paying green jobs.

A sustainable future is at our fingertips. Hundreds of thousands of Americans work in jobs that could contribute to a green economy. Workers at every skill level will be in high demand and enjoy greater job security in key industries essential to building a clean-energy economy in America and fighting global warming.

Show your support for a green economy which will create good middle-class jobs and protect the environment for this and future generations. Join us for a panel discussion hosted by Ed Murphy of the Workforce Development Institute and featuring presentations by Deputy Commissioner Bruce Herman of the New York State Department of Labor, Norreida Reyes of the Sierra Club Atlantic Chapter, Lava Thimmayya of the Workforce Development Institute, Barbara Warren of Citizens' Environmental Coalition, Richard Cataldo of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and Jeff Jones of the New York State Apollo Alliance.
