In 2007, Raquel Pinderhughes, Ph.D. composed an enlightening case study of Berkeley, CA Green Collar Jobs: An Analysis of the Capacity of Green Businesses...

In her analysis, she presents a sound case for development in green jobs. However, one of the most startling things I found in her case was the assertion that green jobs exist in a whopping 22 current economic sectors.

When discussing green solutions with people who have never heard the term "green collar," I often mention the obvious: solar installers, wind turbine manafacturers, and the like.

Rarely do I think about more tangible, quotidian fields like bike repair and tree pruning. I wonder why not.
