Our intentions for using the word, “Green” on this website.

So when we use “Green” all over the place, we’re simply trying to make it easier for folks like you to find our website and resources. We started teaching folks how to use the Internet as a tool and a platform to sustain themselves. We still teach courses that enable a digital self-sustainability. One of the things we teach is how to get your message our using major search engines. To do this effectively, it’s important to use the keywords and key phrases on your website that folks are typing into search engines to find you.

So if you use “white collar worker” on your website, you will be indexed by the search engines. When people type “white collar worker” into the search engine, the chances are greater that they will find your website, than if you used the words, “green collar worker.”

So when we use “Green” all over the place, we’re simply trying to make it easier for folks like you to find our website and resources. When we use the key-phrase, “Green Events” it’s because research tells us that people are searching for the terms and since we offer a way to find and post “Green Events” we want other to be able to find us. It’s really that simple. However, there is of course a wrinkle. In addition to providing free services, we also offer services that cost money. We also offer advertisers ad space on our site thus generating revenue.

So we feel it’s important to go to the next level of explaining more specifically what we mean when we use certain terms. We will attempt to define each of the key phrases we use on this site. Ugh, that’s a lot of work! But it’s also very important since we not only have a responsibility to you and Federal guidelines, we also have an educational commitment. A large part of what we do is educate folks on what Green Collar Workers are and what we do.

So starting today, we will begin linking, where appropriate, the terms we use with a page that contains the specific definition and are intentions in using that word or phrase.
