Green jobs for green world

Blue collar and white collar jobs are old now. The world is going green,let it be green marketing or green products which are environment friendly. IBM,GE AND TOYOTA are some of the big names which are thrusting heavily on green business to sustain the environment which is deteriorating very fast. "As more jobs are lost due to the current economic downturn, sustainable forest management could become a means of creating millions of green jobs, thus helping to reduce poverty and improve the environment," forestry expert Jan Heino of the Food and Agriculture Organisation said in a statement. New jobs could include forest management, agroforestry and farm forestry, improved fire management, development and management of trails and recreation sites, expansion of urban green spaces, restoring degraded forests and planting new ones. By this we can reduce the carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide concentration in the air,mitigate the effect of hazardous elements on our environment and ultimately will have a positive impact on climate change than any other initiative currently being planned or considered.By creating more green jobs we will be able to reduce poverty to some extent also and this can attain more popularity in rural areas.So hail green jobs !
