Searching for a Green Job?

Green Jobs Panel, Resources, Employers at Live Green Expo in Plano
April 17, 2010

From http://livegreenexpo.net/

The American dream is turning GREEN as the U.S. shifts its priorities to include climate change and sustainable energy policies. Publicly traded companies, private corporations, colleges and universities, non-profits and government institutions are all responding to this shift by creating new opportunities for you!

North Texans interested in finding out more about green-collar jobs should plan to meet at the Live Green Expo to learn more about this evolution in the job market. The Expo will host a green job panel to define the term "green-collar job" and provide resources for those looking for training and development. Our panel includes Ruben Johnson of Cedar Valley College, Sidney Bolfing of the Texas Renewable Energy Consortium, Jyl Dehaven, Chief Sustainability Officer for Prism3 Solutions and Dr. Eric Woodroof of Profitable Green Solutions.

Additional companies looking to hire will be on-site to meet and greet Expo attendees and answer questions. Continuing Education Units (CEU) will be provided to those registering on-site for this educational program.

Mo' snow in Plano, yo!

The shot could've been better, but it wouldn't have included the beautiful cardinal.

It's MS Awareness Week. What does that mean to you?

Please consider walking, biking or volunteering to help us fund the fight against Multiple Sclerosis.

What is MS?

Multiple Sclerosis, or MS, is an autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system — the brain, the spinal cord, and the optic nerves. The disease can damage the myelin coating that insulates these important nerves. This damage can disrupt nerve function, causing a variety of unpredictable symptoms that range from mild to debilitating.

* Every hour, someone is newly diagnosed with MS.
* More than 2.5 million people worldwide live with this serious disease.
* MS is the most common neurological disease leading to disability in young adults.

Whatever you decide, please Join the Movement.

MS Awareness Week 2010 is now: March 8-14.
