The Genius Of Van Jones
Posted by Sonja Ebron
I like simple yet powerful concepts. “Green the Ghetto First” is the clarion call of Van Jones, a brilliant brother some have called the Martin Luther King of the green jobs movement. At this weekend’s State of the Black Union in Los Angeles, he said, “You can’t green the earth without greening the cities, you can’t green the cities without greening the ghetto, and you can’t green the ghetto without giving Pookie a job!” You cannot beat that logic.
