Philadelphia has launcheiad a program that will increase the amount of green jobs in the city, while helping the poor as well.  They are in the middle of training unemployed workers as part of a program that will weatherize the cities aging row houses.  These workers are learning how to assess fuel usage in the homes and also learning to to install insulation, caulk windows and seal basements.  All of this will have a major impact on the environment be decreasing fuel consumption dramatically.  This is a great program that is starting small but will grow over the next couple of years.  The program is an initiative of the newly formed Greenworks Philadelphia, which endeavors to create more green jobs in Philly.
