$10 Billion clean sweep

If you haven't been paying attention lately the green movement is currently on its way. Congress has just passed a bill that will give about $10 billion usd to the green building industry. That's a great victory in my book. We have been waiting for people to realize the importance of the green movement for decades now. In spite of all the bad things that came out of 2008 we seem to have struck a cord in the ears on mankind. There is been a growing demand for building projects that are environmentally friendly especially where energy efficiency is concerned.

Its not the dot com industry but it might be having the same affect on the world. Green baby green!!! You tend to hear that more often these days. How long will it take for the entire world to get caught up in the wave? Maybe never since we have so many non believers in the movement. People have started to take notice and I think that is all we need right now is for people to start taking this seriously.

With this $10 billion dollar investment about 2 million jobs will be created in the coming years. We have lost over 3 million jobs in the last 18 months. This might be one of the best ways to kick start our economy when we are in dire need. With the green industry we will be replacing old lower paying jobs with new environmentally friendly higher paying ones. That sounds like a great trade if you ask me.

With major industries like wind, bio fuels, solar power, coal, and even water who can say that things wont get lots better in the next 10 years. Who would of thought 25 years ago that we could actually make money selling water? Many companies if not all of them will be going green in these coming years and will also offer lots of green collar jobs. Companies are noticing that being green is now becoming the new black. If they survived being in the red for 2008 without filing for bankruptcy they should consider this new industry that will slowly sweep the nation.

So what do you think about being green now? I'm going green will be heard all across the hemisphere. Will you commit to going green?
