ENERGY EFFICIENCYThe lesser known Green Industry will produce big gains – in energy savings and JOBS

While we all know about the benefi ts of renewable energy sources – like solar and wind, people oft en forget about the simple things we can do to save energy. Turning off lights in our homes, lowering our heat in the winter and our air conditi oning in the summer, are just a few of the many ways that we can reduce our energy costs. The easiest way for us to “go green” is to simply reduce the energy we consume and eliminate the energy we waste. The idea of being more energy effi cient in our homes however, goes much farther than doing the things menti oned above. In fact, there is an enti re industry dedicated to this cause – the Home Performance Industry.

Numerous reports, sponsored by both private industry as well as government experts have forecasted a tremendous increase in the number of jobs for the home performance industry. Indeed, “the Energy Effi ciency services sector will increase two to four fold by 2020…which may represent as many as 1.3 million individual jobs,” according to a recent report from Berkeley Nati onal Laboratory. Two main entry careers exist in this industry – Building Performance Insti tute (BPI) Certi fi ed Energy Auditors and Weatherizati on/Retrofi t Technicians. BPI Certi fi ed Energy Auditors test the energy effi ciency of a home – how much heat is lost through poor insulati on or the amount of cool air that escapes through various air leaks, etc. – wasted energy that costs homeowners thousands of dollars on their home uti lity bills. From their analysis, Energy Auditors then suggest steps homeowners can take to reduce their uti lity costs every month whether by installing new insulati on, sealing draft y window panes and faulty air ducts or replacing old furnace or air conditi oning equipment. Energy Auditors range from experienced Home Inspectors to various constructi on trade professionals and even salesmen (selling the retrofi t idea to the homeowner!). The growing home performance industry also off ers entry level careers for BPI Weatherizati on/Retrofi t Technicians. BPI Certi fi ed Weatherizati on/Retrofi t Technicians actually perform the installati on work recommended by the Energy Auditor including blowing

insulati on, sealing windows properly, as well as a host of other acti viti es that can save homeowners on their energy bills every month. This is an ideal track for those with previous experience in HVAC, or basic constructi on knowledge.

No matt er what path you choose – it is important to receive a nati onally recognized certi fi cati on to show employers that you understand the principles of building science. Earning your

certi fi cati on from the Building Performance Insti tute will show employers that you have this knowledge. The most basic certi fi cati on is the BPI Building Analyst (for energy auditors) and BPI Air Sealing (for weatherizati on/retrofi t technicians). From there, those with the Building Analyst certi fi cati on can go on to specialize in a number of diff erent areas. CleanEdison is BPI’s largest training affi liate across the nati on – and guarantees that you will pass the exam – or you can retake our class for free. Getti ng your BPI certi fi cati on will give you access to the thousands of jobs being created in the home performance industry every day – and make you a more att racti ve candidate to HVAC, plumbing, and carpentry companies as they look for individuals to help them go green.

EcoVentures Internati onal’s Green Business and Green Jobs Program works with the economic development, workforce development community and social services community to create programs and trainings to help individuals fi nd green jobs, develop and grow green businesses, and work with the business community to connect labor demand in green sectors to workforce training programs.

Micro and small business are a key component to eff ecti vely revitalizing our economy and moving into the new green economy. Because microenterprises compromise approximately 18% of all private employment and 87% of all businesses, it is vital for small and micro business to understand how to link into the growing demand for green products and services and the public investment in green jobs development. By thinking through the natural resource needs and ecological system soluti ons relevant to a business and its related supply chain, one can identi fy business plans and opportuniti es that actually maximize resource use, minimize cost, and help promote the conservati on or restorati on of the environment that our economy and our livelihoods depend upon.

Green business is a growing movement that intersects across sectors and industries. Consumer demand for green products and services is growing, and companies large and small are paying att enti on, developing new product lines, and conti nually innovati ng. Green technologies and methodologies provide innovati ve methods for small and micro

businesses to create cost-savings and operate more effi ciently and eff ecti vely. GreenBusiness GreenJob’s methodology and tools take an inter- and intra- sector approach to provide the tools necessary for the green development of these industries and support the role and growth of small businesses within these industries to achieve sustainable economic growth and opportunity. Despite the economic downturn, green products and services are sti ll demonstrati ng growth in specifi c sectors. For example, organic product sales

(food and non-food) in US: $24.6 billion in 2008 (17% increase from 2007). United Natural Foods (largest natural foods distributor in US) reports steady growth in 2008 and 2009 to date. The hospitality industry in Delaware and Virginia have launched Green Hotel Programs in the last year, and have seen a drasti c increase in membership in those programs, which has resulted in an increase in demand for green products and services such as green cleaning, local food, and food waste collecti on for composti ng. Local small and micro businesses have been able to tap into this new demand from hotels to create new businesses and new product lines. Many States across the United States have initi ated energy effi ciency, weatherizati on, and renewable energy programs that provide tax credits and grants to homeowners and commercial properti es. In line with these tax credits and grants has been the development of green jobs training programs and workforce development. Many of these services, such as energy effi ciency and renewable energy, will be provided by small and micro businesses such as small contractors and tradesmen and tradeswomen. The growth of the energy effi ciency and renewable energy sector provides signifi cant opportunity for small and micro business, parti cularly through the growth of demand for such services because of available tax credits and grants.

EVI off ers a range of training sessions for Small and Microenterprise Development Organizati ons and practi ti oners on methods to develop green business training and support services for business and entrepreneur clients. All of these training of trainer sessions can be delivered in person or through webinars. EVI is able to adapt each training session to be delivered over a 1 hour to 3 hour period, depending on the need and ti me availability of the clients. EVI can also cover all of these topics in a two day training session.

Learning GreenAcross the Nati on, State Boards of Educati on are on the verge of adopti ng statewide environmental literacy plans. Environmental literacy graduati on requirements will ensure that students will complete a course of study which will bett er prepare them to deal with the complex environmental issues they will face in coming years and, perhaps, will give them an advantage in the emerging green job sector.

The Roper Report has tracked environmental literacy rates of adults for the past 40 years. Eighty percent of adults in the U.S. are environmentally illiterate. Executi ve Director of the Maryland Associati on for Environmental and Outdoor

Educati on (MAEOE) Bronwyn Mitchell asks, “imagine if 80% of the country were functi onally illiterate – could not read or write. In this scenario, how would literacy rates infl uence quality of life, economic development, cultural expression, the progression of new ideas, and the protecti on of freedom?”

Complicated environmental issues will conti nue to pose signifi cant challenges. Ensuring that students graduate environmentally literate is a criti cal opportunity to provide every student with a solid understanding of these problems and the basic tools to overcome them and make informed choices in their own lives.

Environmental studies programs are now becoming one of the fastest growth areas for colleges, and business leaders increasingly believe that an environmentally literate workforce is criti cal to their long term success. Environmental educati on is the foundati on for creati ng the green workforce of the new economy.

The Maryland Partnership for Children in Nature defi nes environmental literacy as: students that possess the knowledge, intellectual skills, atti tudes, experiences and moti vati on to make and act upon responsible environmental decisions as individuals and as members of their community. Environmentally literate students understand environmental and physical processes and systems, including human systems. They are able to analyze global, social, cultural, politi cal, physical, economic and environmental relati onships, and weigh various sides of environmental issues to make responsible decisions as individuals and as members of their community and citi zens of the world.

Field experiences may contribute to healthy lifestyles through outdoor recreati on and educati on. Getti ng kids outdoors to exercise, play and experience their natural world is an important tool to prevent obesity, alleviate att enti on defi cit disorder and address other related health problems.

Like it or not, we will be passing on complicated environmental problems to future generati ons. We must give the next generati on a solid understanding of these problems and the basic tools to overcome them and make informed choices in their own lives.

The future of our states, and our nati on, relies on a well-educated public to be wise stewards of the very environment that sustains us.

Starting a Green Business: The Price is RightCopyright 2010 by Dr. Memo Diriker

Everywhere you turn, every newspaper you pick up, every issue of the popular business magazines, television programs, and online blogs you follow are telling you the same thing: The United States is going green. Yet, when you look at the help wanted ads, very few jobs are listed as “Green Jobs!”

So where are these green employment opportunities? Well, they are everywhere! They may not be listed as such, but as business in the United States feels the economic pressure of high energy costs, and increased sustainability compliance requirements, more and more fi rms are changing the way they do business. As they become more cognizant of the need to go green, the job descriptions of their workers are changing accordingly.

But, what if you do not want to wait for someone to offer you a job with sustainability already built in? What if you want to be in charge of making Green happen on your own? Then, you are probably going to want to explore becoming a green entrepreneur. In fact, in the world of green business, the entrepreneurial opportunities currently far outnumber any other kind of green opportunity.

In the history of American business, the vast majority of inventions and innovations have come from entrepreneurs and small businesses. While the mega corporations are good at integrating and commercializing knowledge, the key developments that have changed our business history have frequently the products of garage and basement entrepreneurs operating on a shoestring budget.

There is no good reason why history should not repeat itself with the green business trends we are following now. There is already ample evidence

to suggest that green innovations are coming from small- to medium-sized businesses rather than from mega corporations. The big fi rms then buy out these entrepreneurs at a very handsome profi t.

So how to you get started? Here are fi ve tips:

1) Visit your local colleges and universities;

Institutions of higher education are incredible repositories of information and knowledge. In addition the wise gray beards on faculty and the young minds of the students provide a very fertile ground to generate new ideas, and concept test them.

2) Make an appointment with your local Small Business Development Center;

These SBDCs are a must if you want to reduce your chances of failure. They help you with business plan development, cash fl ow forecasting, and funding and loan applications. More businesses fail because of owners’ ignorance of how to run a business than any other reason. The experts at the SBDCs can help you avoid some typical pitfalls.

3) Learn about government programs;

The number of government assistance and funding programs and incentives is mind boggling. Unfortunately accessing these programs and submitting successful applications is no easy task. It is therefore very important to become well versed in the nature and scope of each program. It also helps to meet the staffers running these programs. They succeed when you succeed. This gives them a good incentive to help you learn about their programs.

4) Meet and nurture relationships with mentors, angel investors, and other experts in your community;


Many communities offer the wisdom and experiences of their retired executives to local entrepreneurs. A good starting point is the local Service Corps of Retired Executives (SCORE) and your local chamber of commerce. Like any other business, green business benefi ts from solid, well planned and well executed networking;

5) Be prepared to pay for good advice.

Unfortunately, good things are not free. You must be willing to make the necessary sacrifi ces to make sure you are part of a winning team. Seeking top notch accounting, tax, and legal advice is a must. In addition, you may need to access some technical and scientifi c expertise about the green in your green start-up. Finally, consider aligning yourself with some management and marketing expertise.

Now that you have a starting point, it is time to take the plunge. Planning is a must. But, at some point, you must stop seeking the “PERFECT” plan and get the ball rolling by implementing your “GOOD ENOUGH” plan! Good “Green” luck to you on your journey to sustainable success!

Aquaponics—Greenest of Food Growing SystemsImagine a farm that has no polluted run-off , which produces fresh healthy food ready for harvest 365 days a year. Imagine a farm that grows at least double, and depending on the crop, up to ten ti mes as much yearly yield per square foot as a traditi onal farm lot. Imagine a farm that has no need for unreliable rains to feed the fast growing crops, where every day of the year can be similar to a nice early summer’s day. And imagine a farm that can fi t right into a neighborhood that produces fresh wholesome locally grown food for their neighbors, every day of the year, within walking distance of everyone in the neighborhood.

Now stop imagining, because it’s here. It’s called “aquaponics”, which combines fi sh farming (aquaculture) with growing plants in a soilless growing system (hydroponics). It is a proven technology, it already has a successful twenty plus year commercial track record, and it is suitable for use anywhere, not just out in the wide open spaces in the country.

Aquaponics is growing fi sh and vegetable plants in a symbioti c growing system. You feed the fi sh, their wastes fl ow to plants and are converted by common bacteria to a form of ferti lizer that the plants can use, and as the plants devour the ferti lizer they clean the water for recycling right back to the fi sh in a never ending, ecologically sound, nearly closed-loop system.

Aquaponics uti lizes waste as a resource. In a recirculati ng aquaculture (fi sh farming) system the wastes of the fi sh are disposed of by dumping the wastes into a sett ling pond or

straight into a municipal sewage system. In aquaponics, the waste is used as a resource, used as a valuable ferti lizer for the plants. Depending upon the fi sh raised, even the unwanted plant waste (stems, roots, etc) and eviscerated fi sh wastes can be recycled back to the fi sh as fi sh food. Nothing is wasted; all waste is used as a valuable resource to

Below is an example of one expert’s plunge into green entrepreneurship.

make the system economically sound. The only thing going “out the door” is saleable fresh fi sh and healthy crops.

When done in a greenhouse (usually the most economical growing soluti on), the “weather” that the plants experience is controlled by the grower. Since the grower controls the indoor weather, air temperatures can be adjusted to suit the crops, giving the ideal early summer weather every day of the year, and giving the plants the ideal environment to grow to their fullest, most nutriti ous and most fl avorful state. There are no droughts to stunt the plants, there are no sudden fl oods to drown the plants. They have perfect growing conditi ons every day of the year.

A well-run aquaponic system produces safe, healthy crops. There is no need to use harsh, dangerous chemicals to kill weeds since there are NO weeds, the only plants that can grow are the ones planted by the grower into the system. And since adding pesti cides to the plants would kill the fi sh, only natural, non-harmful methods such as natural predators like Lady Bugs and sti cky strips (glue strips, like colored fl y paper) are used to eliminate the few bugs that manage to work their way into the greenhouse. Not only does the grower have a safer work environment and save money by not buying chemicals to poison unwanted critt ers and weeds, he can safely tell his clients that their food is safe to eat, and is chemical free.

People love the concept of fresh, safe locally grown food from a farm where they can look in and see the next crops growing away every day of the year. Since the farm is totally enclosed in a nice appearing greenhouse, and gives off no odors or loud sounds (ever hear a large tractor fi re up?) people are not against having an aquaponic farm next door. They like the security of having fresh wholesome food produced right in their neighborhood, rather than relying on food that is fl own in from thousands of miles away. People are willing to pay slightly more for food that is much

fresher than the stale, chemical fed food from the supermarket that’s grown for shipping qualiti es, not for taste. People line up at the door to get their “just harvested” plants and fi sh. Aquaponics gives a “locally produced, chemical free” roadside stand a new meaning, the food IS as fresh and tasty as if they just picked it from their own garden, but unlike their garden, the food is grown fresh and safe, 365 days a year!

Aquaponics isn’t new, Mother Nature invented it eons ago, and it’s what we humans call wetlands and streamside meadows, two of the most producti ve areas for fi sh and plant producti on in the world. Mankind started raising fi sh in capti vity thousands of years ago in Asia, both for food and for pleasure (Koi ponds) and started raising hydroponically grown plants commercially in the late 1940’s. By 1950, one hydroponic farm in Japan (Camp Chofu) fed fresh, healthy vegetables to ALL of the UN troops in Korea during the war. But it wasn’t unti l the 80’s that people started combining the two complimentary food producti on systems to eliminate waste and save money (operati ng costs.) By the turn of the 21st century, large multi -acre hyper- producti ve aquaponic farms were popping up around the world. In 2000, I designed and built the worlds third largest commercial aquaponic system right in downtown Philadelphia at an abandoned factory site, and

taught entry level workers to operate it successfully. With proper, experienced design help, anyone can operate a profi table, green food growing system right in their own back yard, or on any unused plot of land. A successful aquaponic system can even be built on the fl at roof of a school or factory, or set up in an unused parking lot. If you want a successful Green business, one that you can do yourself, and one that benefi ts your town or neighborhood by producing the freshest, most fl avorful, and pesti cide free food, take a look at aquaponics. You’ll be glad that you did!

If there are no green businesses, there are no green employees and green businesses need the support and understanding of the municipaliti es and governments in and with which they do business. One thing that was repeated ti me and ti me again in my sustainability

certi fi cati on training was that for any enti ty to go truly green you must have the buy-in and commitment of leadership. Below is an arti cle of one town gone green reported from the leader who is making it happen.

Ivy Bonk, Green Mapping Project Coordinator and Senior Certi fi ed Sustainability Professional

One Leader’s Call to ActionSince 2008 the Town of Berlin has developed two signifi cant partnerships that have begun a series of acti viti es that promote environmental stewardship and responsible economic development in our community. The Town of Berlin is committ ed to taking an acti ve role in providing its citi zens with the knowledge and know-how about acti ons individual citi zens, families and businesses can take to become bett er environmental stewards. As part of this commitment, early in 2009 the Town of Berlin and this region’s three leading nonprofi t environmental organizati ons formed a partnership we call “Grow Berlin Green.” The fi rst phase of this initi ati ve is a three-year campaign to encourage Berlin residents, businesses and government offi cials to connect the community to a conservati on ethic. The town’s environmental partners in the Grow Berlin Green initi ati ve are: the Maryland Coastal Bays Program; the Lower Shore Land Trust; and the Assateague Coastal Trust.

The Grow Berlin Green (GBG) partnership successfully applied for and was granted a $125,000 grant from the Town Creek Foundati on, a private, philanthropic organizati on dedicated to a sustainable environment. The GBG partnership is driven by the common commitment to empower the community through a combinati on of educati on and acti on. Throughout the year GBG conducts and parti cipates in events and acti viti es designed to involve citi zens, businesses and government offi cials in an eff ort to build a foundati on for environmental stewardship in the Town of Berlin.

In its fi rst year the collaborati on between GBG and the Town of Berlin resulted in the assembling and distributi on of over 70 rain barrels to local citi zens and businesses. This program will be replicated in 2010 as demand for the rain barrels has far exceeded supply to date. GBG, working with town merchants, has distributed dozens of re-usable shopping bags and this will conti nue in 2010 and beyond. GBG also has begun ditch clean-up days during the year calling on citi zens to voluntarily de-litt er the stormwater ditches that are essenti al to the proper management of runoff from rainstorms in rural communiti es such as Berlin. And the town and GBG are collaborati ng on the development of a rain garden demonstrati on project in one of the town’s parks. The project will provide a visible, working example of how citi zens can create rain gardens on their properti es as another way to miti gate stormwater runoff .

In January 2010 the Town of Berlin joined with Grow Berlin Green in applying for a $6,500 grant to conduct a study to evaluate and implement a plan for cost-eff ecti ve opti ons to address some of the town’s priority stormwater management trouble spots. The study’s focus will be on the potenti al use of new and emerging stormwater management technologies that would be tested in the Town of Berlin with the goal of balancing fl ood control with environmental protecti on.In early April 2010 the Town of Berlin Public Works Department and citi zen volunteers worked together to cleared a 400 foot long stretch of a stream that borders the town that is known as Hudson Branch. The stream is part of the Maryland Coastal Bays Watershed and ulti mately carries stormwater to Newport Bay. The Hudson Branch stream runs between two apartment complexes and has been a dumping ground for all sorts of litt er, including everything


from bott les and plasti c baqs and even furniture and shopping carts. The day-long volunteer clean-up resulted in the removal of 37,000 pounds of trash from Hudson Branch. This represents more than two week’s worth of the enti re trash collecti on for the town.

A multi -level approach has been adopted by the Town of Berlin to prevent conti nued degradati on of Hudson Branch by the stream’s neighbors. Apartment property managers have agreed to move their dumpsters to more convenient locati ons and away from the stream. The Town will now provide free bulk trash pick-up for any trash that doesn’t fi t into the dumpsters. Some trash had been purposely thrown into the branch by youngsters living in the apartment complexes who wanted to create a bridge so they could travel on foot between the apartment buildings. The town will now build a safe walking bridge over the stream between the two apartment complexes that can be used by youth and adults. And fi nally, there will be an outreach to the residents of the two apartment complexes by Grow Berlin Green to seek to engage them into taking ownership of the environmental integrity of Hudson Branch through educati on and environmental acti viti es that will center around the youngsters. The volunteers will be encouraged to organize monitoring teams to identi fy any litt ering, conduct periodic clean-ups and discourage

litt ering among their peers at the apartment complexes.

In late April 2010 over 75 volunteer residents from throughout the Town of Berlin turned out to support a “Take Pride in Berlin Spring Clean-Up Day.” Volunteers worked together to clean-up and freshen-up both of the Town’s Municipal Parks. Organizati ons that provided volunteers included the Berlin Area Ministries United, the local Girl Scout Troops, and volunteers recruited by Grown Berlin Green. All the volunteers enjoyed a picnic lunch following several hours of work aft er the clean-up in Berlin’s Henry Park.

Ulti mately, the Town of Berlin is seeking to make environmental stewardship an ingrained part of the community’s culture as we look for new ways to enhance and develop our economic opportuniti es in the immediate years and decades ahead.

Growing Up GreenIf young people are to be expected to help protect the environment, they need to feel connected to it – to understand that they are part of it. However, children increasingly spend more ti me indoors and less ti me playing outside. How can we expect them to care about that which they do not know? The joys of nature and our environment should be shared. Having a knowledgeable guide or a caring adult with whom to explore can open a child’s eyes to limitless beauty and wonder.

But many are suff ering from Nature-Defi cit Disorder. While you may not have heard the term yet, coined by Richard Louv in his 2006 book Last Child in the Woods, you’ve surely witnessed the telltale symptoms of nature-defi cit disorder. Today, many children prefer to play indoors “’cause that’s where all the electrical outlets are,” as stated by a fourth-grader in Louv’s book.

It takes everyone working together, to preserve our irreplaceable environment for the next generati on.

Many children are more comfortable staring at a screen – whether a computer, television, or video game – than they are gazing at the sky. While there are advantages to having access to a climate-controlled building which maintains a comfortable 72 degrees, there are ti mes when it is exhilarati ng to shiver from the chill of a brisk winter wind or to bask in the warmth of the summer sun.

Being outdoors is important to our overall health and well-being and spending ti me in nature is especially important for children – fostering cogniti ve development, physical and emoti onal health, and creati vity.

Many parents are hesitant to encourage children to explore outdoors because of the “fear factor.”All parents want to shield their children from the evils of the world, many of which are perceived to lurk outdoors. So, what should responsible parents do? None of us wants to put our child at risk. But the risks of sequestering a child indoors and restricti ng access to nature can have damaging eff ects, too.

We’ve all seen the stati sti cs – children spend too much sedentary ti me parked in front of screens.Childhood obesity is on the rise and diabetes, too. Our children are suff ering from att enti on disorders and depression. Stati sti cs suggest nature can provide some relief – an anti dote to some of our ills.

Parents need to encourage children to become acti ve and explore the world in which they live. And while virtual explorati ons yield access to new and exciti ng informati on, explorati ons in the backyard, the ditch at the edge of the fi eld, and yes, the small wooded lot at the end of the cul-desac off er untold treasures, mystery, and countless sources of wonder. Many parents are also hesitant to let their children get dirty – really dirty. But mud washes off . Studies suggest that children who are exposed to dirt – and the things that live in it – are actually healthier and smarter. So let them get wet, let them get dirty – and play in the dirt with them. Making mud pies is fun! Unstructured play outdoors helps children develop their sense of self. Nature provides solace, comfort, and unending inspirati on. And what’s good for children, is also good for adults. When was the

last ti me you wandered aimlessly down a trail, not quite knowing where you’d end up? We all need to seek more opportuniti es to explore the places where we live.

Local environmental educators can guide you down that trail in the woods, opening your eyes to the subtle patt ern of the bark of a dogwood tree, the striking colors of a red-headed woodpecker, and the spicy scent of bayberry and sassafras. Spending ti me with a knowledgeable guide, an environmental educator, an “interpreter,” can help us bett er understand the language of nature and all of its subtleti es. Whether at a local park or refuge, in the backyard, or splashing about in a ditch or our coastal bays, spending ti me in nature off ers an opportunity to fully engage all of your senses, your mind, your body, and your imaginati on. It also inspires us to protect the world in which we live – for ourselves, our family, our community, and for future generati ons.

Carrie Samis is Education Coordinator for the Maryland Coastal Bays Program

According to the Nati onal Park Service,hundreds of rangers who specialize in law enforcement in 13 states stretching from Maine to Virginia are set to reti re in the next fi ve years under federally mandated age guidelines. That’s about half the force. State Parks are reporti ng similar recruitment needs. As one generati on of rangers steps down, the park service looks for new recruits. Sound interesti ng? Test the waters by getti ng your feet wet in available seasonal and intern park positi ons - stepping stones into federal and state jobs.



World Gone Green!One way to protect the environment is in development of green jobs. What are green jobs? A green job, also called a green-collar job is, according to the United Nations Environment Program, “work in agricultural, manufacturing, research and development (R&D), administrative, and service activities that contribute(s) substantially to preserving or restoring environmental quality. Specifi cally, but not exclusively, this includes jobs that help to protect ecosystems and biodiversity; reduce energy, materials, and water consumption through high effi ciency strategies; de-carbonize the economy; and minimize or altogether avoid generation of all forms of waste and pollution.” Green jobs are often traditional jobs like construction workers and manufacturing production workers, which require a green layer of skills and knowledge.

In this section of the “Green Mapping” guide, Green Careers, you’ll be provided the tools to help you begin to create a map for your green career search. Career maps are never fi nalized since they are always changing as you increase your skills and as the labor market information fl uctuates. Likewise, your career map is only as good as what you put into it. No one else has your skills, your personality, and your aptitudes. Labor markets in each area are varied according to geography and socio-economic conditions. Compiling all of this, you fi nd that this has to be a personal map that you make.

Steps to “Green Mapping” your Green Career

Step 1: Determine if this is a trip that you want to take•Learn about green jobs in general.•Read Careers in the Green Economy.•Read “Get in the Driver’s Seat” and do some online searches.•Check out the additional resources online.

Step 2: Learn about Yourself •Read and follow the instructions in “Which Route Will Take Me Where I Want to Go?”.•Conduct a Skills Analysis on yourself (see bottom of page 27). •Determine which transferable skills you have ready (see bottom of page 36). •Read Workplace Competencies and see what core skills you have.

Step 3: Find out about Green Jobs in the area that you want to work•Research the Labor Market Information. •Stay up-to-date on newest developments by learning how to use O*NET.

Step 4: Match your skills and goals to what you fi nd out in Step 3•Review Green Job Sectors to see which sectors are a good match.•Check out the Green Career Pathways paying special attention to those jobs that are in a sector that matches you. • Note any additional training that you’ll need.

Step 5: Determine your next step•If you need additional training, research the training opportunities available in your area. (Current training opportunities in Maryland and Delaware listed in following section.)•Update your resume.

•Start your new career in a green job!

Maryland and the nation are undergoing a shift in the way they produce, distribute, use, and conserve energy. Businesses, public institutions, communities, and local government are working to use energy more wisely and improve our environment. They are creating sustainability councils, adopting new, local public polices and practices, and developing community projects that use green/clean materials and technologies. These efforts are being supported with American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) investments: $92 billion in clean technology; nearly $33 billion in clean energy, and $27 billion in energy efficiency nationwide.

Studies forecast that investments in energy efficiency and clean energy could create as many as 100,000 green jobs in Maryland over the next twenty years. Much of ARRA funding coming to Maryland is funneled directly for job training to meet employment demands. There is no question that to stay viable in today’s market, workers must understand how to compete in a new “green” world. The Governor’s Workforce Investment Board (GWIB) designed the following brief to help job seekers become active participants in the new green economy.

Careers in the Green Economy

Opportunities Exist Within the Green Economy

Governor’s Workforce Investment Board • Issue Brief • www.gwib.maryland.gov

While a large majority of green jobs and businesses are currently concentrated in manufacturing and construction, government policies along with consumer demand are spurring the growth of green products and services across a wide spectrum of industries. Consequently, there are employment opportunities for job seekers at every level of skill and education. Green job and business opportunities range from professional enterprises to skilled trades in areas such as deconstruction, building/energy inspectors, maintenance workers, weatherization contractors, engineers, recycling and waste management, and research and design of new technologies and products.

Regardless of the particular field, nearly every job in the future will integrate green practices into how work is conducted. Communities are enacting policies to reduce negative impacts on the environment and conserve energy, and private companies are recognizing that green, sustainable practices are in the best interest of their bottom line. Consequently, the path to a green job begins with developing a basic understanding and familiarity with concepts such as sustainability, green practices and technology, and product life cycles. Fortunately, there are many avenues for job seekers to gain such knowledge and information.


Getting Up to Speed on Green

A host of information about energy efficiency, green building and green products is available on the Internet for job seekers interested in familiarizing themselves about green and energy efficient practices and clean and renewable energy. Sites such as green.org offer opportunities for green social networking, learning about green products and businesses, and how to integrate green practices into your lifestyle; National Geographics sponsors the Green Guide to Everyday Living at www.thegreenguide.org, and Grist.org offers information about green materials, job opportunities and articles related to climate change and green lifestyles.

Community Colleges, non-profit organizations, and government agencies sponsor trainings and classes to help individuals and businesses understand what it means to “go green” to increase their marketability. NeighborWorks America, a national nonprofit organization, and the Green Building Institute, a local nonprofit, offer a series of trainings that can help a job seeker get up to speed on green. Local jurisdictions, such as Montgomery County (www.montgomercounty.gov), feature information about sustainability and green practices on their websites. Numerous apprenticeship programs now integrate green practices into their training and education models.

* See www.nw.org/network/green/training.asp and www.greenbuildinginstitute.org/pages/courses.html for more information.

What Makes a Job a “Green Job?”

While there is no clear, national standard that defines a “green job,” a commonly accepted definition is that a “green” job is any job that helps preserve or enhance the environment. If the job helps reduce the use of natural resources, such as oil and gas, improves energy efficiency, and/or lowers pollution, it is a green job. While many jobs relating to alternative energy sources such as solar and wind obviously fall into the “green” category, there are a multitude of other, traditional jobs that become “green” once a green lens or approach is applied. This means that many people with traditional workforce skills may only need to acquire additional knowledge about green practices or minimal training to become an active participant in the green economy.

Certification Options

Although not all green jobs require certification, several certification programs have been created to ensure workers have a clear understanding of what it means to be green in their respective fields or to help make the transition into a green career. These programs target a variety of professions and require varying degrees of skills and education; all of them focus on building an individual’s green knowledge and expertise through education and/or hands-on training.

Some of the most recognized certifications and training programs are presented in the following table:

Get in the Driver’s SeatBeing a self-directed learner requires that you take ownership (responsibility) of your learning and growing process. Aft er determining what green career path most interests you, get on the internet and conduct some simples searches and begin to self-educate.

Step 1 – Logon to an internet search engine. For example, a couple of the popular ones are www.google.com and www.bing.com or you can select your own.

Step 2 – Aft er arriving at the search engine site you have selected, enter search criteria for your research in the address bar. In order to narrow your search, make sure to include quotati on marks (“ “) around each set of

search criteria. The more specifi c you can be with your search criteria, the more narrow and benefi cial your search.

When conducti ng your search think about what type of fi le or document you want to fi nd? Are you looking for stati sti cs, an arti cle, a webinar (online class), a report or video. Then what green job or industry interests you. You can even narrow the search by adding another search criteria that includes a geographic locati on, i.e, “State of Maryland”.

Search examples:“green jobs” – This is too broad. It includes the subject, but nothing very specifi c.“green jobs” and “webinars” – This is bett er. Even though the subject is sti ll broad, you have narrowed your search by requesti ng results for available webinars.“Solar panel technician” and “industry video” – This search is even bett er. You are specifi c about a parti cular green job and the type of informati on you are hoping to fi nd.

Step 3 – Aft er you enter the search criteria you desire, click the SEARCH or GO butt on on the search engine page, the results will appear on the screen.

Step 4 – Review results, make selecti on, read, write (take notes on what you read) and think.

If you do not have access to the internet at home, visit your local One Stop (or other Career Explorati on Center) or public library.

You wouldn’t by a car before you test drove it. In your role as self-directed learner, exposure to new experiences can help you narrow your focus. Gain a new experience by volunteering!


Taking a Test DriveBuilding Your Green Resume through VolunteerismLooking for ways to improve your green resume? Volunteering for environmentally-conscious organizations and businesses just might be the answer. Volunteering on a consistent basis not only helps you improve your skills but will provide the exposure you need to determine whether a particular job is right for you. Skills developed in a volunteer situation are transferrable to the workplace.

A person who is willing to volunteer is saying that I am willing to make a commitment and I am not looking for anything in return, but to know that I have made a diff erence. Volunteerism is about sustainability – environmentally, socially and economically. It’s about a person who is willing to give without taking – to replenish. Through their selfl ess eff orts and goodwill, they are able to contribute to the surroundings, relationships and fi nances of a worthy cause.

To learn more about volunteerism, contact the Offi ce of Volunteerism in your state. For a list of environmental organizations on the Lower Shore of Maryland accepting volunteers, see page 55.

Which Route Will Take Me Where I Want to Go?There are countless online resources for career development. Some of these resources are free and some of them are not. Rogue Community College is one site that off ers the John Holland Personality Assessment for free. Holland’s theory explains work-related behavior – such as, which career choices are likely to lead to job success and sati sfacti on. It is the best known and most widely researched theory on this topic and is used by most career counselors. The theory assesses persons in the categories of Realisti c, Investi gati ve, Arti sti c, Social, Enterprising and Conventi onal.

In order to take the assessment, logon onto htt p://www.roguecc.edu/Counseling/HollandCodes/test.asp. You will see a page the college has enti tled the Holland Code Quiz. Follow the instructi ons and select the items that best describe you. Do not select what you would like to be, but simply what is. This will ensure an accurate assessment. Aft er selecti ng all choices that apply, click “SUBMIT” at the bott om of the page. The results of your assessment will be generated. What you will see will be a coding of your type according to this tool as well as a list of possible jobs. If you are able, print out the results page, but by all means write down the code presented at the top of your page including the diff erent categories and their rati ng. When you are sure you have noted the results in a safe and secure place, you may exit the site.

Next, logon to The Career Key site at www.careerkey.org. The Career Key site also off ers the Holland assessment, but charges a fee. However, they will prove to be a valuable resource as you bring your green career search into focus. Once you have logged onto the site, you will click on the link labeled GREEN JOBS (htt p://www.careerkey.org/asp/career_opti ons/green_economy_jobs.html) along the left hand side of the screen (locati on at ti me of this printi ng). This will take you to a page enti tled The “Green Economy” and “Green Jobs” - using your mouse or touchpad, scroll to the bott om of the page. At the bott om of the screen will be links to the six personality types discussed above. Using the notes from your assessment, click on the personality type or types that best describe you. There will be a list of green jobs listed for each personality type. Make sure to print out these pages or write down the jobs under your type that most interest you. Place informati on in your green career search fi le.


Green Job Categories Examples include (but are not limited to)…

1. Renewable energy and alternative fuels

Activities related to manufacturing, production, construction, design, research, delivery, operation, storage, maintenance and distribution of energy (electricity, heat, and fuel) from renewable sources, including wind, solar, biomass, hydrogen fuel cells, alternative transportation fuels, geothermal, ocean, methane, and waste incineration as a fuel source.

2. Energy efficiency and energy conservation

Manufacturing, construction, installation, production of energy efficient products (such as Energy Star1 rated appliances, more efficient lighting), energy efficiency services, weatherization, building retrofitting/efficiency, energy efficient production processes, energy distribution improvements (smart grid), transportation technology, and battery development and storage improvement. Overall increasing the energy efficiency of production processes, distribution, construction, installation, and maintenance.

3. Greenhouse gas reduction

Includes controlling and reducing emissions of CO2, other greenhouse gases, waste water, and other pollutants through approaches other than renewable energy generation and energy conservation. Includes generation of electricity from nuclear sources and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in electricity generation from fossil fuels.

4. Pollution reduction and cleanup

Activities related to controlling commercial, transportation, and industrial emissions and pollution; water treatment, recycling operations, waste product management and treatment, activities to remove pollutants and hazardous waste from the environment.

5. Recycling and waste reduction

Environmental remediation including the cleanup and disposal of pollution, waste, waste water, and hazardous materials; Superfund/Brownfield2 redevelopment; and landfill restoration.

6. Sustainable agriculture and natural resource conservation

Products and services to conserve, maintain, and improve natural resources and environment, including low carbon agriculture, land management, water management and conservation, wetlands restoration, and environmental conservation. Includes bioscience related activities. Includes reducing the environmental impact of agricultural production and improve natural resources conservation, including reducing use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, soil and water conservation, sustainable forestry, land management, and wildlife conservation.

7. Education, compliance, public awareness, and training directly related to green jobs.

Activities to educate the public, business, and government on energy efficiency, renewable energy, energy rating systems certifications (Energy Star, LEED3), and more efficient energy consumption. Also informing appropriate parties and enforcing compliance requirements and regulations, promoting state energy standards and plans, and training on effective use of energy related products and processes. In theory, energy trading could include buying and selling of power or fuels related to energy efficiency and renewable energy as well as cap and trade activity to control pollution.

Green Job Sectors

Green Career PathwaysOn the pages following, you will fi nd tables listi ng workplace competencies as well as green jobs listed by sectors (see chart above). Whether a job is green, blue or white, there are certain competencies that each employer expects an employee to possess. Identi fying them is criti cal to laying the foundati on to your green career pathway. The adult educati on initi ati ve Equipped for the Future spearheaded by the Center for Literacy Studies in Knoxville, Tennessee has developed a Work Readiness Profi le which includes entry-level tasks all employees should possess. Next, you will fi nd Green Career Pathways tables which include a descripti on of the tasks involved in the specifi c job. In the right hand column of those tables is a note indicati ng whether the job requires short- or moderate-term on-the-job training with a list of related occupati ons found directly below. Because this guide targets entry-level workers, only green jobs requiring short-or-moderate term on-the-job training was provided. To learn about green jobs requiring additi onal educati on and training, see page 49 for further instructi on. These competency and green career tables will be used to help assess and determine the required skills that you already possess, the ones that you may need to improve upon as well as identi fy the ones that are missing. Some of this should already be coming into focus as you pursue self-directed learning acti viti es, engage in some personal assessments like the one listed in the Which Route Will Take Me Where I Want to Go? arti cle and as you off er your services to volunteer in various green jobs. Using both the Work Readiness Profi le and green jobs tables, you will be able to conduct a skills gap analysis to help establish a roadmap for advancing on your green career pathway. You will fi nd examples and helps for conducti ng this analysis on pages 27 and 36.

Below are the seven green job sectors as defi ned by the Bureau of Labor Stati sti cs. Note that green jobs can fall into more than one green job sector category.

It is always a good idea to have more than one opti on when considering your green career pathway. Although you may be really interested in one parti cular job, that doesn’t mean that there is a market for that job in your geographic locati on.

In the short term, not every green job will require parti cular green skills or certi fi cati on. Manufacturing workers in a solar panel facility, for example, may not require anything more than the basic skills required of others working in advanced manufacturing environments. In some home weatherizati on programs run by local uti liti es, entry-level workers may need litt le more than basic constructi on laborer or installati on skills, such as an air sealer who caulks gaps in windows.

Motivation to Go GreenThe key to preserving the environment is for every person to be a good steward of the possessions, space and responsibiliti es over which they have been given charge. The questi on that most oft en comes to mind when a person faces an overwhelming task (preserving the environment) - “where do I begin?”

When examining a path forward, one of the fi rst things to consider is if there are obvious places where you can make a diff erence with minimal eff ort. When considering where you can make a diff erence in your eff orts to reduce your impact on the environment or to take measures we need to think about what makes the most sense and what is most cost eff ecti ve. Identi fy the source where you can most easily make a change and then readily evaluate the outcome. This idea or principle is termed low-hanging fruit approach. The focus of the path forward is determined by where you can see immediate or short-term outcomes.

For consumers and businesses alike, most of the low-hanging fruit can be found in the area of energy. In order to identi fy areas in your energy consumpti on where you can make changes, it is important to fi rst understand the diff erence between kW and kWh. Understanding this is vital to reducing your energy costs.

ENERGY 101kW (kilowatt ) = DemandkWh (kilowatt hour) = Energy Consumpti on

One 100-watt bulb burning for 10 hours consumes 1,000 watt -hours or 1 kWh. The enti re 10 hours that the bulb is on, it demands 100 watt s or 0.1 kW from the uti lity. That means the uti lity must have that 0.1 kW ready whenever the customers turns the lamp on. So, Power x Time = Energy Consumpti on. Power x Time = Energy Consumpti onYOUR HOUSE 100 watt lamp burning for 10 hours 1,000 watt hours or 1kWhYOUR BUSINESS 10 offi ces burning 100 watt lights for 1 hour 1,000 watt hours or 1kWh

Although the home and the business consumed the same amount of energy, the business put a greater demand on the uti lity because the offi ce lights were operati ng all at once.

DID YOU KNOW? If every American home replaced just one light with an ENERGY

STAR light, we would save enough energy to light more than 3 million homes for a year,

about $700 million in annual energy costs, and prevent 9 billion pounds of greenhouse

gas emissions per year, equivalent to the emissions of about 800,000 cars.

TIPS TO SAVE ENERGY TODAY•Set your thermostat comfortably low in winter and comfortably high in summer with a programmable thermostat•Use compact fl uorescent light bulbs•Turn off your computer and monitor when not in use•Use power strips for home electronics and turn off when not in use•Take short showers instead of baths•Drive sensibly•Wash only full loads of dishes and clothes•Air dry clothes•Look for ENERGY STAR label

United States Department of Labor‘s O*NET ProgramResearching the Greening of the World of Work

It is without a doubt that the “greening” of our national economy is currently underway. Thus, it is importantto investigate how the green movement is shaping the world of work. To keep up with the changing world ofwork, the National Center for O*NET Development and its partners extensively investigated the impact ofgreen economic activities and technologies on the requirements of existing occupations and the developmentof New and Emerging (N&E) occupations. Results of this research can be found in the report, Greening of theWorld of Work: Implications for O*NET SOC and New and Emerging Occupations. The report highlightsoccupational implications of the green economy and its associated activities and technologies, occupationalstaffing implications within different sectors of the green economy, and the identification of current O*NETSOC occupations impacted by the green economy and newly identified green N&E occupations. A summary ofthe research can be found in the sections below. For further exploration of the O*NET program’s greenefforts, please visit the green pages on O*NET OnLine and the O*NET Resource Center.

What Have We Found?

North Carolina State University, in partnership with the National Center for O*NET Development, conductedan extensive literature and web review of the green economy. Occupational analysts collected and reviewedacademic journals, commissioned reports, industry white papers, governmental technical reports, andnumerous internet sources on the world of work. Our research sought to define the green economy and toidentify different categories of green occupations, the industry sectors in which they are commonly found, andgreen occupations within the O*NET SOC occupational taxonomy.

We define the green economy as economic activity related to reducing the use of fossil fuels, decreasingpollution and greenhouse gas emissions, increasing the efficiency of energy usage, recycling materials, anddeveloping and adopting renewable sources of energy.

Green economic activities and technologies may have different effects on different occupations. The“greening” of occupations refers to the extent to which green economy activities and technologies increase thedemand for existing occupations, shape the work and worker requirements needed for occupationalperformance, or generate unique work and worker requirements. Therefore, we classify green occupations asfalling into 3 different “greening” categories:

Green Increased Demand Occupations: The impact of green economy activities and technologies is anincrease in the employment demand for an existing occupation.However, this impact does not entail significant changes in the work and worker requirements of theoccupation. The work context may change, but the tasks themselves do not.

Green Enhanced Skills Occupations: The impact of green economy activities and technologies results in asignificant change to the work and worker requirements of an existing O*NET SOC occupation. This impactmay or may not result in an increase in employment demand for the occupation. The essential purposes of theoccupation remain the same, but tasks, skills, knowledge, and external elements, such as credentials, havebeen altered.

Green New and Emerging (N&E) Occupations: The impact of green economy activities and technologies issufficient to create the need for unique work and worker requirements, which results in the generation of anew occupation relative to the O*NET taxonomy. This new occupation could be entirely novel or “born” froman existing occupation.

O*NET on Green Jobs


64 O*NET SOC occupations are classified as Green Increased Demand Occupations, 60 O*NET SOC occupationsare classified as Green Enhanced Skills Occupations, and 91 occupations are classified as Green New andEmerging (N&E) Occupations.

Major work activities of the green economy cover a broad spectrum. In an effort to efficiently and effectivelystudy the potential occupational implications of green economic activities and technologies, our researchsuggested the majority of green occupations can be found in the following 12 green economy sectors: (1)renewable energy generation, (2) transportation, (3) energy efficiency, (4) green construction, (5) energytrading, (6) energy and carbon capture and storage, (7) research, design, and consulting services, (8)environment protection, (9) agriculture and forestry, (10) manufacturing, (11) recycling and waste reduction,and (12) governmental and regulatory administration.

Ongoing and Future Activities

Now that we have identified green occupations in the O*NET SOC taxonomy, we are continually researchingthe impact of the green economy on these occupations. Currently, we are:

Collecting data on occupational and worker requirements for Green Increased Demand, GreenEnhanced Skills, and Green N&E Occupations.

Updating task lists for green occupations by identifying new tasks resulting from the impact of greeneconomy activities and technologies.

Updating green lay titles by incorporating new occupational titles identified in the green economy.

Researching the green economy to identify occupations going green.

Tracking green economic sectors to identify new and emerging (N&E) occupations.

Populating green occupations with green Tools and Technologies (T2s).

Providing quarterly updates of our Green Book of References which lists our primary and supplementalreferences consulted in ongoing research activities.

In the future, we plan to research Green Detailed Work Activities, conduct analyses of Knowledges, Skills, andAbilities (KSAs) for Green Enhanced Skills and Green N&E Occupations, monitor the demand for all greenoccupations, and conduct ongoing research and investigation of the green economy and its influence onoccupations.

OVERVIEW OF THE MARC GREEN CONSORTIUM

Description of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Collaborative (MARC)

Established in 2008, the Mid-Atlantic Regional Collaborative (MARC) is a regional coalition committed to enhancing the economic vitality of the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia. Members include leaders from the State Workforce Agencies for the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia. The MARC is focused on building a globally competitive regional talent development system to drive and fuel regional prosperity.

Regional Opportunity

In June 2009, the United States Department of Labor released a competitive grant application for State Labor Market Information (LMI) Improvement Grants. Eligible entities included consortia of State Workforce Agencies. The MARC applied for and won a $4 million grant to conduct innovative LMI activities that will support the strategic and systematic expansion of a region-wide green economy. This initiative is known as the MARC Green Consortium. It is an offshoot of the MARC and will serve the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia.

Outcomes

Outcomes of this 18-month project include a comprehensive three-state regional green jobs and training survey with initial findings available mid-October 2010 and a detailed final analysis completed February 2011; state specific related research on the green workforce with a final report issued February 2011; and an integration of the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia's on-line LMI and labor exchange capabilities. An information-only regional website is available now and located at www.marcgreenworks.com. The fully integrated regional website will be operational by May 2011.

Additional Information

Please contact the MARC Green Consortium’s Project Director, Ed Trumbull, at 410-917-4510 or by email at [email protected].
