I really enjoyed reading this story, thanks for posting it. Great reporting, now maybe Puerto Ricans can know what the future brings and maybe the youth can study these eco-friendly fields as they seem to be the future of our island

I remember hearing about this when I lived in Puerto Rico. It is too bad more people don't know about green collar jobs.

Thanks gente for your interest. I monitor stories in the media to feature here because I know PRSUN readers are interested in these topics.
