Green Capitalism
Many predict that the future of job growth lies within a green economy. Expanding renewable energy industries, such as wind and solar, can offer high-paying jobs for skilled workers.
We've certainly done well in the past 2 years by being considered the most "green" landscape architecture firm in Santa Barbara. See for yourself.
Although activists have long discussed the potential of green jobs, political leaders have begun to take notice only in the past year or so. U.S. presidential candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, and European Commission president José Manuel Barroso, have all promised policies that would create "millions" of green jobs. In December, the United States passed the world's first law that provides funding for green jobs, specifically targeted to citizens who are traditionally economically depressed, such as the unemployed, formerly incarcerated, and at-risk youth.
