Hope's Edge by Frances Moore Lappé and Anna LappéHope's Edge
by Frances Moore Lappe

In Hope's Edge, we travel to five continents searching for answers to the most challenging question of our time: Why are we as societies creating the very inequalities and environmental devastation that as individuals we abhor? And we look for pathways we each can walk to create more meaningful lives--contributing to a more just world and one in harmony with nature.

Take Action. Support Green Jobs!

The Green Jobs Act of 2007 authorized $125 million per year to create an Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Worker Training Program as an amendment to the Workforce Investment Act (WIA). The Green Jobs Act (GJA) is an initial pilot program to identify needed skills, develop training programs, and train workers for jobs in a range of industries - including energy efficient building, construction and retrofits, renewable electric power, energy efficient vehicles, biofuels, and manufacturing that produces sustainable products and uses sustainable processes and materials. It targets a broad range of populations for eligibility, but has a special focus on creating "green pathways out of poverty."

Congress has not yet appropriated money for the Green Jobs Act. Please contact your Senator today and urge them to fund the Green Jobs Act of 2007!
