A big collection of policy makers, activists, job-training types, and labor union honchos are getting together later this week in Pittsburgh for “Good Jobs, Green Jobs: A National Green Jobs Conference,” and it’s my job to be there to watch it all go down.

It’ll be a good opportunity to find out what’s hope and what’s hype about the emerging green jobs movement — not to mention exploring Pittsburgh’s better bars and restaurants on Grist’s dime! Uh, just kidding there. Haha! Nothing but crackers and tap water for me.

Anyway, I’d love to bring questions from Grist readers about green jobs — personal, political, policy, pedagogical, or Pittsburghian. I’ll report back next week with answers and information for green job seekers.
