I'm the creator and manager of http://www.thegreenjobbank.com.  I live in a rural area of Nothern Baltimore county,  Maryland, surrounded by cornfields.  My wife, my 2 kids and I have 3 dogs, 4 cats, 40 chickens, 6 ducks and a pig. The Green Job Bank is a hobby, not a money-making enterprise.

The Green Job Bank is a search engine for green jobs.  It crawls the web daily, and indexes green job postings from job boards and employeers career pages. So far (Apr. 23, 2010), it has collected 5,600 green jobs that are less than 2 months old.  There are about 400 profiles of green employers as a convenience for job seekers to research them.
