绿色行业就业率悄然稳步增长
其他零售业公司也越来越注重绿色环保。例如,麦格劳希尔建筑信息公司(McGraw-Hill Construction)六月份的一份报告显示,2011年至2013年期间,在新店铺中使用绿色技术或改造旧店铺以提高能效的零售公司从18%增加到38%。报告还表示,与此同时,在酒店行业,采纳绿色建筑实践的公司比例从28%增加到了48%。 另外一个例子:可持续业务网站TriplePundit最近列出了美国增长最快的五大绿色岗位,其中便包括你可能从来没有想到过的岗位:时装设计师。像奥斯卡•德拉伦塔(Oscar de la Renta)和黛安•冯芙丝汀宝(Diane von Furstenberg)等大品牌如今都更加注重可持续生产方式。自从他们发现客户愿意花更多的钱购买“环保服装”,这些服装品牌便在其产品中增加了有机服装。 TriplePundit网站的榜单上,排在高级时装前面的是四个环保岗位。其中之一便是环境工程学,这肯定是你愿意听到的消息。(财富中文网) 译者:刘进龙/汪皓 |
Other retailers are greening up, too. Between 2011 and 2013, for instance, the percentage of retailing companies using green technology in new stores, or retrofitting old ones to be more energy-efficient, rose from 18% to 38%, says a June report from McGraw-Hill Construction. At the same time, among hotel companies, the percentage of those using green building practices increased from 28% to 48%, the report says. One more example: Sustainable-business website TriplePundit, in a recent list of the top five fastest-growing green jobs in the U.S., included one you may never have thought of: Fashion designer. Big names like Oscar de la Renta and Diane von Furstenberg are paying more attention to sustainable manufacturing methods and incorporating organic clothing into their collections since they've discovered their clients are willing to pay more for "eco-apparel." Four earth-friendly careers on TriplePundit's list outrank haute couture. One of them, you may be glad to hear, is environmental engineering. |
