Well, WBUR - the Boston NPR station anyway (the best NPR station in the country I might add). I was interviewed for the recent Radio Boston show about the Massachusett’s economy and how ‘green’ is allowing the state and region to emerge from the recession - perhaps earlier than other regions. I should have had this up weeks ago, but they never got back to me about how to embed their media stream in the blog. Click Here to listen to the show.

A highly encouraging email hit my desk from Moveon.org asking their membership to vote on whether they were willing to back and participate in a Green Collar Economy political movement, started with this statement:

When FDR became president, a group of progressive activists asked him to push for some really big changes. His response? “I agree with you. I want to do it. Now make me do it.“ :

That is music to our ears at Green Collar Media.  To make the Green Collar Economy a reality, we need to move on all fronts.  A grassroots movement of millions of Americans organizing to ensure their message is heard is going to be critical.  Unless the administration and congresspeople know that the American people have their backs, we are going to witness false start after misstep as the entrenched interests fight for the status quo and pull the levers of power in Washington and in state houses around the country.

I am not sure how this movement will be organized or whether it will make any significant progress, and you may not agree with Moveon on most (or any) issues.  I hope you will agree that the American people standing up and demanding that the government move us in the direction of a green future is in all of our best interests.
