Building Clean: Improving Efficiency, Health, and Equity in Housing and Creating Good Jobs

When buildings are designed, built, and maintained to protect the health of people and the environment—and if the manufacturing of building products and materials create good-paying union jobs in the U.S.—then the wellbeing of people and communities will improve, especially for people of color. Building Clean works to increase the use of building products that are more efficient, less toxic, and manufactured in the U.S. We aim to improve the physical, environmental, and economic health of communities and promote a more equitable future for all.

Solidarity for Climate Action: The Plan We Need to Get American Manufacturing Back on Track

Manufacturing towns dot the nation, and advanced manufacturing helps provide the foundation for the economy in major regions of the United States. Industries like the steel and automotive industries supported good-paying jobs, middle-class families, and prosperous communities for decades, while also spurring American leadership in innovation and technology. That’s still true in some areas. But in many others, factories have closed or new industries offer jobs that all too often are poorly paid, insecure, or unsafe.

BlueGreen Alliance Responds to Request for Information on Regional Clean Hubs Implementation Strategy

Hydrogen is an interesting opportunity to put people to work in the clean economy using the careers and skill-sets that they have today. Hydrogen is currently produced for a number of uses in the U.S., and reducing emissions from that process will allow workers to retain jobs while we make progress on climate goals. The industry also requires existing skill-sets in construction and operations and maintenance and hydrogen as a fuel can substitute for fossil fuels for some industrial processes.
