More than 80 labor, environmental, civic, and policy organizations have endorsed a proposal to secure America's economic recovery and environmental health by applying energy-efficient measures to over 15 million existing buildings - from adding insulation to replacing inefficient boilers.

The Clean Energy Corps would combine job creation, service, and training to combat global warming. "The beauty of the Clean Energy Corps is that it doesn't just create jobs," said Green For All founder Van Jones, "it also creates pathways out of poverty."
