 The Wisconsin Green Jobs for America (GJFA) Campaign was launched in April, 2008. The Wisconsin team includes Chuck Geiger (Blue Green Alliance), Rosemary Wehnes (Sierra Club) and Tom Peplinski (USW.) A Town Hall about solutions to global climate change that create "green" jobs was held on May 7th at the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point. Panelists included: State Senator Julie Lassa, Phil Neuenfeldt (AFL-CIO), Caryl Terrell (Sierra Club), and Dave Bonistall (New Page Corporation.)
We will have a booth at the upcoming Midwest Renewable Energy Fair in Custer, Wisconsin (June 20th-22nd.) If you are interested in volunteering at the MREA Fair at our booth, please contact Rosemary at 414-453-3127. You can learn more about the Fair at http://www.the-mrea.org/energy_fair.php. Keynote speakers include Jim Hightower and Jason Walsh (Green For All.)
Sign-up for Facebook, so you can join our Wisconsin Blue Green Alliance group by adding it to your list of groups. Please contact us if you are looking for a speaker for your group or if you would like to volunteer.
