A new study by the Economic Roundtable shows how investment that supports a watershed approach to rejuvenation sparks the local economic growth of good, high-wage jobs at least as much as does investment in housing construction or dam/large waterworks construction.
This research provides a keystone to the argument that environmental organizations have known for a long time, but to date have not been able to articulate in the numbers, that investment in watershed-based green infrastructure is a solid foundation for rebuilding the United States’ economy. G3 has been providing watershed-based water efficiency education and training for ordinary citizens, policy makers, and landscape professionals for the past 3 years. Most recently we have become the sustainable landscaping training partner for Generation Water, a workforce development organization focused on developing young people for careers in water efficiency. Looks like we’re ahead of the curve! Join us and join this historic movement to rebuild our communities, cities, and national economy.
