Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on green jobs

To help hype up tomorrow being the first day of our Green Jobs Conference in Pittsburgh, I'll share this article with you from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette - "Earth, wind and hire."

Two quotes of note:

"The green revolution isn't just creating new and different jobs," Mr. Foster said. "It's revitalizing and creating new investment in a lot of the jobs we already have."

and

"Mr. Foster said the Alliance hopes to produce two outcomes from the conference, one general and one quite specific. As a general outcome, it hopes to 'heighten the public discussion about the green economy'; more specifically, it plans to produce a 'green jobs policy book' from the conference proceedings, to be released on Labor Day, that will provide legislators and business leaders with guidelines for developing environmentally friendly policies."

More than 800 people will be attending the "Good Jobs, Green Jobs Conference" - how about you?
