Green and Eco Friendly Jobs Drive New Green Education
Going green is not just reusing, recycling and reducing anymore, it has reached a full blown lifestyle choice including educational courses. In his all out effort to lead the nation to be energy efficient and increase employment rate, Pres. Barack. Obama invested more than $80 billion on renewable resources and constructing two solar panel plants. In so doing, some educational institution created environmental curriculum or course to compensate the growing demands for green jobs.
With the growing environmental issues and increase in demand of resources, different colleges and universities offer environmental and energy related courses to prepare students and equipped them with necessary skills to leverage them with in-demand green jobs. To give you an idea on educational institutions with environmental commitment and offering green education, Princeton Review and the U.S. Green Building Council released a Guide to Green College to see the nation’s most eco-friendly campus.

The Zeeck’s Goes Green: an Inspiration for Homeowners
Companies, industries, hotels and others have embarked on the strategies geared towards a green economy. But mind you, they’re not the only ones. In fact, the Zeeck family has conducted their green home education and the results have far exceeded all expectations. Who are the Zeeck’s?
The Zeeck family green contributions started off with the father himself, Andy Zeeck. Being his brother’s partner in Dwellings, Inc. (a prestigious interior design studio that provides assistance in designing a new home, etc.), Zeeck is going green and as much as his customers wanted him to be. He says, “I’m not an evangelist. I don’t go around calling people on it”. Companies, industries, hotels and others have embarked on the strategies geared towards a green economy. But mind you, they’re not the only ones.
