Pete Seeger has a caulk gun, not a hammer
Posted by mbgs on January 22, 2009
89 year-old folksinger/voice of three generations Pete Seeger has partnered up with author/activist Van Jones to spread the message of caulk to the public. Jones, both in his book The Green Collar Economy and through his not for profit Green For All, advocates for a new economy of green jobs in underprivileged areas. One of the ways Jones suggests revitalizing both our economy and environment is through retrofitting houses with new insulation and sealing- hence the caulk gun. Jones postulates that 20-30 percent of a homes energy is lost through heat escaping leaky doors and windows. In taking on these and other home renovation projects, local contrsuction companies can create thousands of green-collar jobs, putting local residents to work and imrpoving the quality of life in their communities.
