Bradley-Burns Champions Green Jobs During Lunch Keynote

Melissa Bradley-Burns considers green jobs to be tools to rebuild communities, and she’s pursuing this mission with the nonprofit group Green for All.

“We truly see green jobs as an opportunity to lift people out of poverty,” said Bradley-Burns, Tuesday’s lunch keynote speaker at the SJF Summit on the New Green Economy.

Green jobs – which she said should be solid-paying opportunities – should be created in areas with minorities like African-Americans and Native Americans, as well as areas such as Appalachia.  She said these are the areas that need community investment.
