I wrote earlier of a organization helping at-risk teenagers get a foot up and teaching them a little about green construction methods. Well, I found from ContractJournal.com that the government is now looking to help builders out similarly. Builders that are out of work will now receive jobs inspecting homes and making them more energy efficient. Everyone involved is in a win-win situation, as Stephen Timms, the works and pensions minister, put it. People are getting greener homes and these employees are getting paid again to do the thing they know best.
