Environmental Career Center – Helping people work for a better environment since 1980

Considering the negative news today, and probably tomorrow too, Thomas Friedman with the New York Times  remains remarkably 0ptimistic.  It might be a result of his access to the best and brightest people in the world today.   

Want a job – start a company.   Mr. Friedman has always been consistent about job creation – our government can’t do it all.   He has also been realistic about the government’s law making pattern – we are not taking the bold steps to really address the problem.

We know Mr. Friedman from his most recent book – Hot, Flat and Crowded.  Yes, our planet is getting hotter and more crowded, but Mr. Friedman continues to provide both hope and the possibilities to move our nation forward to a better future.  As Mr. Friedman says, “Good jobs …don’t come from government. They come from risk-takers starting businesses.”
