Green Jobs Act

Congress is now deciding which federal programs will be funded in 2009. Among those programs are the Green Jobs Act, which would invest $125 million in green-collar job training programs, and the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant, which would authorize grants to local communities to help improve their energy efficiency and increase renewable energy. Now we must make sure that Members of Congress keep their promise and fully fund these programs.

Please ask your Senators and Representative to support full funding for the Green Jobs Act and the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant in this year’s Appropriations Bill. Take a moment to personalize your letter: Using your own words will deliver the most powerful message!


Go to this link for a sample letter to send to your congressmen. Personalize the letter and tell them why it is so important to have legislation that will move our country forward.

I’m considering joining the World Wealth Society, a group started by thought leader, James Arthur Ray (I’m a big fan) and wanted to see if anyone had any tips or info about going carbon neutral as a business owner. One of the requirements of the society is, as a business owner, to take your company carbon neutral and to set up an environmental policy. I’m totally onboard, but frankly, I’m a little intimidated and would love to hear from some other business owners who have done this and what the costs and time commitments are to make this happen. James talks about why we need to do this in his book, Harmonic Wealth (check out the Relationship chapter – as in relationship with the world! – on page 133), but I’d love some more specifics. If you are interested, check out his website: www.jamesray.com or www.harmonicwealth.com.


Thanks!
