one of the reasons we do what we do is because we want low income people to get well paying environmental jobs. and, of course, not just the people we employ (that wouldn't be much of an impact on the grand scheme of things. the small scheme of things is important, but still..).
no, we'd like other community development groups to look at our experiences, take whatever is useful for their needs and communities, and create more of these jobs and businesses.
this is why we find ourselves running our mouths a lot, sharing information in different media sources - magazines, online interviews, local dailies, and whomever else wants to listen to our story, because we want other low-income communities to know that economic opportunities exist in environmental protection
and that they're not getting any of 'em
I hear we'll be in an upcoming Sustainable Industries Journal as part of a story on green collar jobs, and they're gonna put my mug in the chinook book, which is pretty creepy...
stay cool/go jump in a lake.
