by Alan T. Durning (Author)
See all formats and editions
Green-Collar Jobs, the latest book by Alan Durning, is an investigation into how the Northwest jobs climate is changing. Job growth in the Northwest- the high tech boom, software and other business services, health care, tourism, and a rocketing stock market- has spurred a strong economy that is gentler to the environment. But the Northwest's urban consumers are now a serious threat to the region's quality of life. Find out what the challenges are for a Northwest struggling to adapt.

Review

"... when Alan Durning speaks, everyone from the New York Times to the Utne Reader reports on his conclusions." -- Paul Sullivan, Toronto Globe and Mail

"...In this eloquent little book, Alan Durning brings to life tales of the misdirected struggle between environmentalists and chambers of commerce . . ." -- Michael E. Conroy, Yes: A Journal of Positive Futures

From the Publisher

Number 8 in Northwest Environment Watch’s series of short, hard-hitting books on creating a sustainable society.

From the Author

“This Saturday morning, my work is in the unpaid economy, replacing some broken molding in my family’s run-down Seattle house. As I run a tape measure along the walls, my mind ranges over the towns I have visited. I am heartened by their progress, though even their combined efforts are small in comparison with the enormity of the Northwest economy. Still, small need not mean insignificant. After all, the economy is nothing but the aggregation of millions of miniscule efforts. And hundreds of initiatives similar to those described in this book are under way across the Northwest, aiming to align work and nature.”
