A green-collar worker is a worker who is employed in an environmental sector of the economy. Environmental green-collar workers satisfy the demand for green development. Generally,they implement environmentally conscious design,policy,and technology to improve conservation and sustainability. Formal environmental regulations as well as informal social expectations are pushing many firms to seek professionals with expertise with environmental,energy efficiency,and clean renewable energy issues. They often seek to make their output more sustainable,and thus more favorable to public opinion,governmental regulation,and the Earth's ecology.
