May 2011

Last week, I had the opportunity to attend the 40th annual conference of the American Solar Energy Society in Raleigh, NC on behalf of SJF Institute.  ASES, a nonprofit dedicated to increasing the use of solar energy, energy efficiency and other sustainable technologies in the U.S., focuses primarily on national and state-level policy around cleantech. However, conference attendees represented a broad swath of foreign nationals signaling the growing global solar movement.

SJF Institute is currently looking for private companies based in the US whose innovations are preserving or enhancing environmental quality while creating great green jobs. Help us accelerate the growth of innovative green job creators and demonstrate the potential of the green economy for all communities. 

Don’t miss your opportunity to nominate your favorite green jobs creating company! Private for-profit companies located in the U.S. with at least ten employees and $500,000 in annual revenue in the last year are eligible for the 2011 Green Jobs Award.  Nominations are being accepted through May 31 online at www.greenjobsaward.org/apply.
