The Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) has produced an interactive map showing the locations of 1200 green companies across 12 US states.
In the 12 states, carbon caps are anticipated to result in the significant growth of green collar jobs. The map includes a range of businesses from solar and wind energy generation to a company growing fuel from algae.
Jackie Roberts, Director of Sustainable Technologies at EDF said “These maps tell the story of companies across the manufacturing heartland that will get new customers and create jobs with a cap on carbon.” EDF is asking businesses that contribute to climate solutions to expand the map by submitted details via the website.
The remit of EDF is wide ranging but includes scientific research and environmental policy advice. On the website it also has a personal carbon footprint calculator and some TV ads for raising awareness about climate change.
