Blue Green Alliance

Launched in 2006, the Blue Green Alliance is led by the United Steelworkers and Sierra Club along with other "blue" (blue collar/labor) and "green" (environmental) partners. The group aims to heighten public awareness about the job-creating potential of solutions to global warming; use existing economic development tools to expand investment in clean energy and green chemistry; accelerate green building, energy efficient retrofits, and related spin-off industries; create more investments in green jobs, including those related to fuel-efficient vehicles; and reform trade agreements so they include binding labor rights and environmental standards.
