Watch this great video from the Washington State Department of Ecology about the benefits of green building and preparing for future jobs.

 

Green building is embedded in the future careers for architects, engineers, building trades, real estate professionals, and just about anyone who has decision making responsibilities in the design, construction, operation, and deconstruction of a building. 

Quotes from the video:
“You better be thinking about green building, or the market will pass you by.”
“Green building is making construction jobs cool again.”
“Good job, good pay and doing the right thing for the environment.”

Note that the video recommends that students and young professionals should become LEED AP’s!  Great advice.  The first step in that direction is to become a LEED Green Associate.
