They are diverse, with varying levels of education and skills, and nearly half of all jobs in the pure economy do not require a college degree, according to the Brookings Institution. On average, green jobs offer higher average salaries and career advancement opportunities. An analysis by Philip Romero, former dean of the College of Business and Economics at CSU Los Angeles, shows that "workers are paid a premium of 50 to 100 percent over average wages" and estimates that the overall net economy will grow " by at least 60 to 100 percent" by the end of the 2030s.
There's something exciting going on in California, and now you might be wondering, what's our secret?
This is politics. California boasts a legacy of innovation rooted in the state's leadership in environmental policy—it happens here first and transforms markets. This comes in everything from improved exhaust emission standards and improved Canada Mobile Database gas mileage in cars to improved efficiency in appliances and greener building practices that have transformed the sector and generated hundreds of billions of dollars in economic value. All this innovation started with politics
I believe good things can happen if you set clear policies that signal markets and influence behavior. There's a reason why 24 percent of hybrids and 32 percent of electric vehicles in the U.S. are registered in California: good policies that have led to better cars and consumers who have been able to see improvements in their bottom line at the pump. California is leading the way in renewable energy, efficiency and clean transportation thanks in large part to strong policies like AB 32, which puts a price on carbon emissions and sets a statewide renewable energy portfolio standard, providing a clear market signal for increased investment in clean technologies .
And by the way, someone local has to install all those solar panels and wind turbines, insulate all those houses, and maintain and operate all those buses and train cars - good jobs in a clean economy follow smart policies.
It turns out that California's "secret" to creating green jobs and a thriving clean economy isn't such a secret after al it's good policy.
Mondal argues that the new interpretation will reduce environmental degradation caused by PCBs and allow more plastic to be recycled. The automotive sector can use recycled shredder residues in coatings, paints, adhesives, plastics and flame retardant additives.
“This will reduce greenhouse gas emissions over the life of the vehicle and from the combustion and pyrolysis of PCB waste,” says Mondal. “Reusing PCB products in the automotive industry will also reduce the use of crude oil and save more land area previously used for landfills. In addition, there will be renewed interest and commercial activity in the recycling sector, which will actively contribute to the economy's GDP in the form of new investment and higher levels of employment."
In 2011, the Institute for Scrap Metal Recycling contacted the Environmental Protection Agency regarding the separation, recycling, use and distribution of recycled plastics from shredder residues from metal recycling facilities.
According to ISRI, the industry produces between 1 and 2 million tons of plastic residue from car shredders, much of which can be recycled.
ISRI President Robin Wiener told Waste & Recycling News that Europe and Asia are already using technology to separate and recycle these plastics. He says the EPA's actions will allow similar investments in the US.
