Adding green programs into the American economy has created differing opinions on the subject. However, with the green market still growing at a fast rate, TJC will continue to offer these classes for the next few years.
"We are going to watch what laws pass within local and national governments," Curtis said. "If there is no longer a need for these classes, we will drop them."
This trend has also grown in the Tyler community. There are more than 15 businesses that offer green products and services. One of them is Wright-Way Services, a real estate company that offers green alternatives such as solar paneling and LED lighting. According to Rudy Wright, owner of Wright-Way Services, there are many benefits to building this way.
"Building a green structure can lower your operating cost and increase the indoor air quality," he said.
Now building green is also more affordable.
"Due to better materials and more competition, costs are going down," Wright said.
Green houses also have a better resale value than average homes and can get green mortgages.
With this trend continuing and more classes being offered at TJC, the green market in Tyler will continue to grow.
