Green for All: Weatherize NYC
We often think of pollution as something that comes from factories and large corporations, but in fact much of the greenhouse gases causing climate change come from everyday homes. Green for All is leading the charge for sustainable jobs that support working people; this video from Green for All and GOOD magazine takes a look at companies weatherizing homes in New York and the benefits to consumers, workers, and the world.

Yes weatherizing is great and beneficial, but if it has to be done with taxpayers money, the jobs only last till the money runs out. We paid to do what normal people wouldn’t pay for.
Some people will get rich on these programs.
The workers will find themselves at the unemployment office in a short time, with skills that there is no longer a great call for.
So it is a beneficial boondoggle, but a boondoggle just the same.
