With the green job sector set to grow as other sectors suffer are a great incentive to get skilled in sustainability. The Canada-based Environmental Careers Organization forecasts that employment growth in green sector jobs will have surpassed Canada’s national average by 23 percent by 2011. Plus, two-thirds of existing green employers are slated to boost their hiring in the next two years. In a tough job market, it’s even better news that sectors not traditionally associated with being green—such as marketing or construction—are also poised to hire more staff to support their environmental initiatives.

For YEARS Peter Blanchard has provided the "green community" with an invaluable and FREE resource in the form of his Planet Friendly web portal. Peter has volunteered his time to create and maintain this resource and only recently began asking users of the site for donations to support this INCREDIBLY worthwhile effort. What Peter offers is far and beyond a job posting site, and is far different from what (relative newcomers) Work Cabin and ECO Canada offer. I suspect that rather than attempting to divert traffic away from other sites, Peter is simply attempting to make people aware of ALL the resources that they have at their disposal. I see absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Personally, I have found employment through his site, learned of interesting events through his site, found resources that have helped me in my work through all of the links he provides, found resources to help me in my personal efforts to live in a more environmentally sustainable manner on his site, and have found information that has helped me write many a research paper. The only criticism I can possibly think of is that the site has some broken links and could use some updating, which is to be expected when you have one person responsible for maintaining something that massive.
Three cheers for Peter and http://planetfriendly.net and http://www.goodworkcanada.ca ! THANK YOU for all of your hard work!!!
