Earth Week highlights the green job market
Paul Hannam on Earth Week and green jobs.
The eco-explosion needs more than just one day, it seems. You’ve probably heard the San Diego Earth Day celebration is this Sunday. And now there’s San Diego Earth Week, which will extend green-centric events for another few days. You can party at an earth bash or hear from government leaders at a forum with Mayor Jerry Sanders. And, if you’re interested in a “green” lining to the bleeding-red job market, we may have one. Environment Editor Rebecca Tolin interviews green entrepreneur Paul Hannam who will be speaking at the upcoming Green Jobs and Career Workshop. He said there are eco-jobs to be had and many more on the way.
