Green Jobs for a Green Province

An increasingly important sector in today's business environment is the so called "green economy". Differentiating from the old "black economy" this segment focuses on the opportunities in renewable energy, pollution reduction and fossil fuel substitution. British Columbia has been involved with this "green economy" for a quite a while and is progressive in this field. An article on Renewable Energy World Online discusses how this sector will only grow in the future and will create more "green jobs" in British Columbia.

Vancouver, BC - The green economy in British Columbia could be worth over $27 billion by 2020, according to an independent study by the GLOBE Foundation of Canada. The Vancouver-based GLOBE Foundation report, released today, assesses the economic and employment impacts associated with the transformation of the provincial economy towards lower-carbon energy generation and usage, as well as business practices that reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
