Green Collar Economy - Book Review by Dan Keller
I just finished reading the "Green Collar Economy: How one solution can fix our two biggest problems" by Van Jones. As the founder of a job board and blog that focuses on green ideas and green careers, I read almost every book that is related to the topic.
This book is one of the best out there and it is no surprise because in my opinion Van Jones is one of the best speakers, authors and advocates for the green job movement. I just heard him speak at the Powershift Conference and I rushed out to pick up his book. I am glad I did.
This book is very well written and delivers a concise and compelling message. The basic message of the book is that by reducing our dependence on oil and other fossil fuels, we will be saving our planet and also saving our economy by creating a new green collar economy and along with that millions of jobs.What I like best about the book is that the author focuses on the solutions and not the problems. The author has some tremendous ideas that although difficult are not impossible to implement. Another great part of the book is that at the end the author provides a comprehensive directory of resources and businesses that are part of the green jobs movement. It would have taken me weeks to accumulate all those resources on my own.
In closing, this is a must read for anyone that is in the green collar industry or anyone that is looking to break in.
Dan Keller is the CEO of the popular Green Jobs site and also runs a site that focuses on jobs for teens.
