As part of our ongoing Green Jobs for America video series, we took a closer look at one of the cities where green jobs are helping improve the community.
Kansas City, like many American towns, is burdened by pollution from coal-fired power plants, unemployment, and poverty. Faced with bitterly cold winters and scorching summers, the city’s residents struggle to keep up with steep energy bills. Our new video shows how Green For All’s local partners are helping forge a path to a cleaner, more prosperous future in Kansas City — putting people to work, cleaning up the city’s air and water, and cutting energy costs.
