Some emerging technical vocabulary is so self explanatory that it requires almost no definition!
So it is with the concept of a “Green Collar” worker.
The first initial reference to such may have been:
1976, Patrick Heffernan, “Jobs for the Environment — The Coming Green Collar Revolution”, in Jobs and Prices in the West Coast Region: Hearing before the Joint Economic Committee, Congress of the United States, Ninety-Fourth Congress, Second Session, U.S. Government Printing Office, page 134.
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green-collar_worker
Another Wikipedia reference credits Patrick Heffernan as well.

All Words.com also credits Patrick Heffernan.

So does the Telegraph:

It seems to be Patrick Heffernan, way back in 1976 already.
That is visionary …
