Here’s an interesting piece of news: South Korea announced its “Green New Deal Job Creation Program” which pledges $38.1 billion to rejuvenate a sagging economy with environmental projects. South Korea hopes to create nearly a million new jobs through projects related to energy conservation, carbon reduction, recycling, and flood prevention, among others.
This makes us wonder what a Green New Deal would look like in our country. Any ideas?
