Abstract	"Green" jobs that contribute to preserving the environment are among the fastest-growing careers in the U.S., according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. With the rising need for workers to fill these positions, and surging interest among students in environmental careers, community colleges are creating new courses, certifications and degree programs to meet the demand. However it's not just curricula that are changing. Colleges are changing their practices as well. They're hiring sustainability managers, applying energy-saving measures and taking a leadership role in educating their communities about the importance of sustainability. This article highlights how community colleges throughout the United States are "going for the green." (ERIC).
