Though ‘Green Careers’ sounds like a promise for the future (and sometimes just a sound bite) there are some opportunities at present. And certainly there is the potential for growth in the ‘green economy.’
As the industry sorts itself out, some of the language being used can be confusing, overlapping and unclear. Sustainability, clean tech, energy efficiency, green, carbon neutral are all terms that sometimes are used interchangeably. I have listed some resources below that might help to clarify and provide some direction for you if you are interested in a ‘green career.’
