When I first thought of Greener Milwaukee, I was living in New York City. You would think I was, but alas… I was. Why there? Simple, I missed the forest, prairies and people of home state. So…after one-too-many 5am subway rides back from Manhattan after a day of work and a night of carousing, I decided things had to change. I wanted to ride my bike on the trails I missed and help bring Milwaukee what it so desperately needed. A re-branding and revitalized community spirit…
So after a few months of re-acclimating to beer, brats, and ball games I said, “Enough – this city needs more opportunities!”
And Greener Milwaukee was born.
It’s been a shoe-string struggle using social media as the main lure of gravity, however after some initial interest and a snowballed birth -Greener Milwaukee has grown to the next level of community assistance. Jobs.
This week marks the first push to get Greener Jobs out into the world and for the benefit of all. As iHeart is founded on the principals of “people, planet, and profit” “Greener Jobs” seems like a natural next step for the nearly 350 member strong, “Greener Milwaukee.”
I’ll keep it local to start and want it to organic in scope. That means we’re going to start simple, and start here. In Milwaukee.
Please sign up for Greener Jobs on Linkedin and/or Facebook to get started, there is plenty more a’growing and a’coming soon.
Heart,
Ryan
