Although many of the points raised in the proposals are important, I would like to point out two ideas I think are pivotal in the environmental revolution. I really like the "green vet initiative"(an initiative which will attempt to ease the transition of war veterans to the civilian work-force by training them with skills needed to easily plug them into evriromental related jobs),and the "green job corp"(which aims to get underprivalidged youth involved with the "green" movement). I think that helping those that have fought for this country, and instilling environmentally friendly values in our children is a big step in the right direction regarding securing our planet's future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5365024714761731636.post-56626792285886010652008-11-07T11:35:00.000-08:002008-11-07T11:35:00.000-08:00For even more reading on cap-and-trade vs. carbon ...For even more reading on cap-and-trade vs. carbon tax, here's a good site that offers arguments on both sides from law professors, a public policy expert and economists: <A HREF="http://thebulletin.org/web-edition/roundtables/carbon-tax-vs-cap-and-trade#rt4865" REL="nofollow">here</A> .Drew Moxonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01738445202236668063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5365024714761731636.post-87502805079073252242008-11-07T11:33:00.000-08:002008-11-07T11:33:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Drew Moxonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01738445202236668063noreply@blogger.com
