It Isn't Easy Being Green, or Is It?
Stone, James R., III

In the midst of an economic recession, double digit unemployment rates, and financial bailouts lies a promise of economic recovery through investments and training for a green economy and green collar occupations. This article discusses the impact of the green revolution on job creation and on career and technical education (CTE). The green economy and its occupations should be essential in helping to fuel the nation's economic recovery and growth. CTE programs are pivotal in helping to produce the skilled workers necessary for these green-collar occupations via green programs of study, greening the CTE curriculum and creating new green programs.
