Eco Initiatives Await Approval

For many, January 20 marks the end of an error—especially among environmental groups. With hopes of stimulating the economy while doing good for the environment, a new package has been proposed by the President-elect and Congressional leaders that is packed with eco-friendly initiatives. An estimated 2.5 million green jobs are to be created with the package in areas from mass transit to alternative power. Expected to cost between $400 billion to $500 billion, the plan awaits the signature of the new president on January 20.
