by Joanne Ivancic* (Advanced Biofuels USA) Ecostrat has submitted a proposal, to be included in the CLEEN Project database. The Clean Economy Employment Now Project provides federal leaders with easy access to highly actionable clean economy job creation ideas via an online database. Clean economy job creation ideas for government leaders, are sourced from top executives and policy experts, shared via a state-of-the-art database that empowers idea discovery and evaluation. Environmental justice is a key element of all entries in the database
The Ecostrat proposal explains that fifty-two million Americans live in economically distressed communities—many of which are in rural areas. These communities are plagued by a lack of investment capital. The BDO Zone Initiative helps stand up new bio-based production plants in these areas, create thousands of new clean energy jobs, and decrease GHGs in a meaningful way.
