Climate Change Q & A: Does clean energy help or hurt the economy? Job growth in renewable energy is strong. The energy sources with the lowest emissions include wind turbines, solar panels, hydroelectric dams and nuclear power stations. Power plants burning natural gas also produce fewer emissions than those burning coal. Converting to these cleaner sources may be somewhat costlier in the short term, but they could ultimately pay for themselves by heading off climate damages and reducing health problems associated with dirty air. And expansion of the market is driving down the costs of renewable energy so fast that it may ultimately beat dirty energy on price alone — it already does in some areas. The transition to cleaner energy certainly produces losers, like coal companies, but it also creates jobs. The solar industry in the United States now employs more than twice as many people as coal mining.

What is CSR? Basically, it’s the concept that businesses should have a larger, positive impact on society. It encourages businesses to move beyond just generating a profit. There are many ways to do this: -financially -environmentally -through outreach. 1. Sustainability and environmentally friendly processes are some great ways to make a positive impact on the world around your company. Examples include recycling, lean construction, reducing waste, reusing materials, energy saving, alternative fuels and sustainable designs. 2. Philanthropy is another aspect. Philanthropy refers to donating (typically money) to people, organizations or purposes. This may be the most visible form of corporate social responsibility because it is usually the one companies like to promote. Donate to a cause or charity. Sponsor a local event. 3. Donating your time is another option. For construction, a great option is to work with local schools or community organizations to offer- -guest speakers, teaching assistance or hands-on learning Opportunities. . The construction industry is in dire need of skilled laborers. Working with local schools or community programs with the goal of helping others gain valuable skills that could provide them a career is a great corporate social responsibility initiative that can have an additional benefit of helping your company when it comes to hiring new workers. You and your employees can also volunteer your time eg. For a local fundraiser or help out at a local soup kitchen or any place of goodwill that relies on volunteers from the community.
