The world had keep on evolving and keep on coming with more and more advanced technologies. It is true that all the technology we have today is making our lives easier, but it also has a big and negative impact on the environment. All the pollution we make with our cars, all the products that we buy without considering the amount of industrialization and resources used for it, all the stuff that we throw away into the nature and so on…all of these factors are just making the world more and more pollute and either if we like it or not our resources will be over one day. Even though we won’t live to see that day, our children and their children will do, and if we want them to have a better life we must consider this aspect and make some changes today.

There is a special field that is taking care of these things, and it is usually called green field, or green life…or any other option having the word “green”. We seem to find more and more terms these days that have the “green” word in them such as: green food, green energy, green cars, green computers and so on. And all of these things have the same principle: to live our life trying to consume as less resources as possible and to try to pollute the environment as less as possible or to not pollute it at all. And all of these aspects are meant to make a healthier life for us, but especially for the generations to come.

Since there are so many domains that are becoming “green” these days, of course there have to be some people taking care of those businesses or activities. So there have to be also some “green jobs”. This is what we are going to discuss about today, and we’ll focus just on some US green jobs. You can find a lot of them on the internet, and there is even a site made specially for these kind of jobs. It is called: www.5milliongreenjobs.org and it promises to offer 5 million green jobs in the next 10 years. So this is a domain that is constantly evolving and developing and you might want to search for a job in this domain because you’ll have good perspectives.

So now let’s take some jobs from this site and discuss more about them. Let’s begin with the “project coordinator” job offered by the “Green Building Services Inc.”.
