An actionable plan for redesigning our economy to both protect the
environment and create fulfilling jobs-the nuts and bolts of a
Green New Deal American society currently faces a crisis in the
world of work between outsourcing, automation, the gig economy, and
low levels of employee engagement. At the same time, our
transportation systems and means for producing energy, materials,
and food are degrading life support systems on Earth. The solution,
however, is simple: we must abandon "business as usual" and draw up
a blueprint for creating meaningful jobs that will also
dramatically reduce waste and restore the natural world. The Great
Pivot is that blueprint. It details 30 projects for developing
advanced energy communities, low-carbon mobility systems, a
circular economy, a rejuvenated food production system, and
restoring nature. It starts, of course, with people. Americans want
work that gives their lives purpose and meaning. First, however, we
must ensure that everyone has shelter, food, and access to
affordable healthcare and childcare, especially those lower on the
socioeconomic ladder. By doing so, those securing meaningful work
for the first time will be able to pull themselves up financially,
while those currently working disappointingly unfulfilling jobs
will jump to more meaningful employment, whether starting their own
business or joining an existing team. The financial sector also
wants more sustainability projects to invest in. By harnessing
Silicon Valley's startup culture of disrupting lumbering,
inefficient industries, the Great Pivot will create both more
effective and efficient jobs and manifold investment opportunities.
Make no mistake: the investment needed to kickstart a sustainable
future is considerable, but this money will go directly into the
pockets of the millions of people doing this meaningful work,
thereby providing the necessities of a stable, middle class life.
With this bold vision we will not only save the environment, but in
the process of creating millions of meaningful jobs, we will save
ourselves. A sustainable future needs us to envision it, and it
needs us to make it happen. It's time to make the Great Pivot.
