Green Light for Green Jobs
According to Wall Street Journal article “Sustainability Jobs Get Green Light at Large Firms” published on July 11,2011, the outlook for jobs related to sustainability and renewable energy are bright despite the recent slowdown in employment.
In the past two years, the number of online job postings containing the keyword “sustainability” has more than quadrupled to 8,245 in May, according to Indeed.com, which aggregates online job postings. The number containing “wind” and “solar” more than doubled in the same time period.
The growth in jobs tied to sustainability and renewable energy reflects the increasing number of companies adopting sustainable, energy efficient practices. To read more from the original article, click the link above (the title of this post).

Panera CEO Ronald Shaich opened up the first nonprofit branch of his 1,400-plus location restaurant chain in Clayton, Missouri, in 2010. At the time some thought his pay-what-you-want model, in which customers could simply take free food if they needed it, would be a disaster, especially in the midst of America’s hardest economy in decades. Early indications, however, were that Shaich’s idea, officially called the Panera Cares Community Café, might succeed. Now, one year later, people are certain: The free Panera is a hit.

Changing the World with Business
In its May issue, Inc. Magazine did a special cover on social entrepreneurs who are using creative business models to do good.
It used to be that if you wanted to make a difference, you joined a nonprofit. And if you wanted to make money, you launched a business. These days, it’s not so simple. More nonprofits are being run like fast-growth start-ups. And more traditional companies are being built around social missions.
