On June 11, Builder Online reporter Jessica Porter posted a story on the Eco Academy and GREENandSAVE’s new scholarship program.
Builder Online is a leading information source for the home building industry. Here's a clip from Jessica's article:
Just as energy optimization helps houses perform better over the long term, GREENandSAVE President Charlie Szoradi believes that training people for green jobs will prove to be more than a quick fix for the struggling economy. “It is a career. It’s not a job today that may not be around tomorrow. In 10 years from now, this will be commonplace,” he says, noting that green jobs will also help reduce American dependence on foreign oil by making homes and workplaces more sustainable.
Builders across America are increasingly interested in learning more about green practices and techniques, and the scholarship program provides them an inexpensive way to do that.
Anyone interested in applying for scholarship funds must register by July 4, 2010. For more information or to arrange an interview contact Dale McGlothlin (202-341-8615, dm@seachangeglobal.com).
