'Green' student job fair today
The New Orleans office of the environmental nonprofit Global Green is hosting a job fair today for local high school students to provide information about the burgeoning "green" economy.
More than 40 representatives of local nonprofit groups, educational institutions and businesses will be on hand to provide information about jobs in so-called green building practices, energy efficiency, alternative energy and environmental science.
The keynote talk at 11 a.m. will be given by Jerome Miller, president of the Apollo Alliance, a national coalition of business, environmental and community leaders working to create jobs in environmentally sensitive institutions.
Topics of presentations throughout the day will include sustainable, or low "environment impact," construction; brownsfield, or contaminated site, remediation; carbon trading and greenhouse gas reduction; coastal restoration; energy efficiency rating; environmental consultation; environmental advocacy; public health; and environmental law.
The event runs from 8:30 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. at Walter Cohen High School, 3520 Dryades St. For more information, call 504.525.2121 or visit www.globalgreen.org.
