What are Green Jobs? How to find one.






Broadly speaking a Green Job is any that helps reduce our CO2 footprint. Narrowly speaking, any job heavily focused on renewable energy services and jobs supporting the solar, wind, biomass, hydro, hydrogen and fuel cell industries. To find one check our www.greenjobs.net Some old blue-collar jobs are now Green-Collar Jobs. But White collar-jobs like engineers and so on can also become green jobs. Every day, about 135 million people go to work in the US Imagine what would happen if millions of those became green jobs — plus new ones created for people in new CO2 reducing industries in fields like renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, and green building.

5 Gallon Rocket Stove
5 Gallon Rocket Stove This is my attempt to make a Rocket Stove from a metal (steel) 5 gallon paint bucket, stove pipe and vermiculite. As far as I know, the original Rocket Stove design was by Dr. Larry Winiarski, of Aprovecho Research Center (aprovecho.net). Dr. Winiarski developed his stove (made mostly from metal cans, clay and firebrick), as a more efficient way to cook food over open flame in third world countries. A more efficient way to cook over open flame means less deaths from smoke pollution. Approximately 2.4 billion people (over one-third of all humanity and two-thirds of the developing world) cook over biomass-fueled fires. Indoor air pollution from the burning of solid fuels kills over 1.6 million people each year! People living in poverty in many third world countries cut down their local forests for the wood to make charcoal, which they sell for basic income and use the rest for their own fuel. The "L" or "J" shaped stoves designed by Dr. Larry Winiarski, has proved to be very efficient and instrumental in reducing toxic gases and also use much less fuel to cook the same amount of food. His basic design can be found everywhere on the Internet, but one "no frills" site is: "www.bioenergylists.org Stove/Principles.html" ~~~ Music used for the background track is listed as: "Gator Drive - Nigel Glockler, Roger Adams", offered by YouTube in the online video editor, in the "Audio" section. If you own this music or know any reason that I should not use this ...
