Green collar jobs are, to us-- the way we define green collar jobs is that it's a job that has a net benefit to the environment. So it can be something that a PhD does, in terms of designing a hybrid car. But it can also be something as simple as the guy or the gal that actually is working to maintain the urban forests. You know, planting a green roof, you know, installing a solar panel. Those are, also, environment green collar jobs that pay back not only to the person that does the work, which is great, but also to the environment. Because it's actually reducing some of the environmental costs that we continuously pay as a result of global warming.
