It may be the candidate for any office offering insight to their dedication to the environment might have a better margin of success than those that rely on rhetoric about drilling for oil and methane.
Political candidates should know their constituencies and use the language they want to hear.
An example of the words, "I am proud of my Green Record in Congress.", "I have been working toward legislation that would secure the future of clean energy for our children," etc. and so forth about highlighting the work and what is needed to pass the legislation. It is worth a try.
The young voter wants Clean Energy. If they aren't hearing their priorities it is disparaging. At least I think so. Ask them. Ask what they want to know about the world we are seeking to protect. Ask them if the Endangered Species Act is important to them, if the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act is vital and then say how vital it is and reaffirm their knowledge base.
Let the people that care about Earth and the energy we harness from it know they are as much a priority as The Violence Against Women Act. They might simply feel left out and alone in their commitments. Can't hurt, not if their words are the candidates words AND works.
In celebration of Earth Day on April 22nd,(click here) The Ladders released a new survey today revealing that job seekers go for the green when making a decision about their future employer. In fact, when offered two equal job opportunities, 72% of candidates would choose the more eco-conscious company versus 10% who said that they would not. Less than a fifth (18%) said it would not influence their decision. TheLadders, the most comprehensive job-matching service for career-driven professionals, surveyed more than 100 professionals in the following industries: construction, education, engineering, finance, human resources, law, marketing, medical/science, operations, real estate, sales and technology.
