[Podcast] - Creating an Equitable Green Jobs Movement
Melissa Bradley-Burns, a senior strategist with Green for All, joins RenewableEnergyWorld.com to talk about how we can make the next wave of technological and business innovation more equitable. She also discusses how we can use the resources available in the recent stimulus package to work toward that vision.
