Kansas City Star<\/em> \u2013 Growing Green Jobs: A Conversation with Mark Izeman<\/a><\/p>\n

Greening the economy – and creating new green jobs – is absolutely critical to successfully tacking climate change and many other global environmental crises we face. And these new jobs can at the same time jumpstart our economy and address our distressing unemployment rates around the country, especially in low-income communities. So, hopefully in 40 years, green jobs will be such an integral part of our economy that we won’t even need to label such jobs as “green.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Indianapolis Star \u2013 <\/em>Seize the moment to embrace clean energy<\/a><\/p>\n

By Shaun Donovan, secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.<\/p>\n

At HUD, we recognize that homes are responsible for 20 percent of America’s carbon emissions, and that the long distances families have to drive to get to work and schools contributes to our dangerous dependence on oil. That’s why we’re coordinating with the Department of Transportation and the Environmental Protection Agency to reduce our\u00a0carbon footprint<\/a> at the same time we connect where we live to where we work.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Huffington Post<\/em>–\u00a0\u201cJuly 4th<\/sup>: Hope and Freedom in America\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

By Representative Earl Blumenauer, D-Oregon<\/p>\n

While we have not yet achieved freedom from our addiction to oil, the dramatic BP spill in the Gulf coupled with unprecedented investments in conservation and alternative energy make it more likely that we have a sustainable path for the future.<\/p>\n

The House passed historic legislation to combat global warming and survey after survey show a majority of Americans still support comprehensive climate legislation. We all still have hope for the Senate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Voices of a New Clean Energy Future is a series from individuals who understand the importance of passing comprehensive climate and clean energy legislation \u2013 business leaders, politicians, policy experts, and concerned citizens like you. EDF is proud to highlight their voices and contributions to the climate and energy debate.
