The Green Party and Green Jobs For Every Ohio Citizen
Greens want to help thousands of Ohioans obtain a green-collar job that pays a living wage while helping to build a brighter environmental future.

Green jobs will help us stabilize our  economic crisis and the global climate. Green jobs can conserve energy and lower greenhouse gas emissions. Green jobs are union jobs and created in communities that really need them. Green jobs nourish our communities because they can't be outsourced overseas cheaply. Green jobs grow local businesses and foster community development.

GREEN SOLUTIONS

1. Support massive public investment to create green jobs in fields such as energy conservation, renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, green building and the construction of mass transportation.

3. Prioritize the creation of green jobs in communities of color and low income communities.

3. Support union organizing at all workplaces.
