Good jobs, Green Jobs Conference

It was very inspiring to attend the green jobs expo on February 5, 2009 in Washington, DC.
The Expo showcased booths from academic institutions, manufacturers, nonprofit agencies, corporations and others who are committed to educating, hiring, training and developing workers in a wide range of green jobs.
The Expo is part of the Good Jobs, Green Jobs National Conference, had an approximate attendance of more than 1,500 people (my best guess, based on expectations) representing local, state and federal policy makers; labor; business; the environment and public health; economic and workforce development specialists; investors; and scientists and technology experts.

For those of you who want to participate in the green jobs movement across America, these are the people who you need to connect with.

Bidder said it was easy to rig government auction
By PAUL FOY

SALT LAKE CITY
A college student who infiltrated a government auction for oil and gas parcels said he didn't plan to run up prices and disrupt the sale until an auction clerk asked him, "Are you here to bid?"
With that, Tim DeChristopher, 27, a University of Utah economics student and environmental activist, showed his driver's license, picked up bidding paddle No. 70 and quietly seated himself in the bidding hall on Friday.
He snapped up 22,500 acres of parcels between Arches and Canyonlands national parks that he doesn't plan to develop or even pay for. He also drove up prices on other bids by hundreds of thousands of dollars.....more here

New Years, new partners in Green!

www.TheSuperGreenPages.com announces a new partnership with www.Gogreenexpo.com. Along with a host of great green companies, TheSuperGreenPages will promote GoGreenExpo.com, a marketing company that is stepping up for climate change! A little about Gogreenexpo:
Go Green Expo, the brainchild of Bradford Rand and his team at Expo International, was conceived after a viewing of the film "An Inconvenient Truth." It prompted the question, "How can we make a difference?" This question resonated with Rand and his team and Go Green Expo was born. Rand, a producer of over 700 trade shows and job fairs over the last 14 years knew he could step up to this important challenge.
A truly unique event from the ground up, Go Green Expo will change not only the public's perception of environmentalism but also how events like this are produced and managed. Inviting companies large and small to showcase what they are doing to reduce their respective carbon footprint, consumers will have hands on experiences with "eco-friendly" alternatives to current everyday products and services.
The inaugural Go Green Expo took place in New York City in April of 2008 with 250+ exhibits, 50+ speakers, and eco-film festival & nearly 10,000 participating.
Go Green Expo invites both consumers & business owners to learn more about what is readily available so they can take steps to purchase earth friendly products & services to make our communities greener, one city at a time.

New Expos in 2009 will take place in New York, LA, Philadelphia, and Atlanta.
