Roses Are Red, Violets Are Blue...

...Jobs are now "green," and they're waiting for you!
I'd give it a B+
But seriously, New Jersey is making way to create 300-400 new "green" jobs for insulating homes, putting up solar panels, and jobs to find how energy efficient buildings are. This came into affect after the NJDL (New Jersey Department of Labor) met with Gov. Jon Corzine earlier this year. This program will cost around $1 million, but luckily, with the help of the Conserve to Preserve Foundation (which is donating $300,000), it will only cost a little over half a million. I believe it's a good idea, but there could be more job opening. It just doesn't seem like 300-400 is enough to change the way people will look at the earth and the way we're treating it. Overall, I believe it's a fantastic idea, but the amount of jobs could be raised.
