Van Jones - Speech - SF, 2008

As climate chaos and soaring fuel costs batter the U.S. economy, Jones brings a unique perspective to the color green. Shifting the environmental discussion from green consumers to green workers, Jones argues that a green economy that rescues the polar bears can also rescue the U.S. economy. He envisions a society that has no throw-away species or resources and no throw-away kids or neighborhoods. Jones is the founder and president of Green For All, an environmental organization helping to build a green economy that lifts milliions out of poverty.
