Van Jones: Founding President of Green For All, Senior Fellow with the Center for American Progress,
and Founder of the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights“The Green Collar Economy”
As climate chaos and soaring fuel costs batter the U.S. economy, Van Jones brings a unique
perspective to the color green. He argues that a green economy that rescues the polar bears
can also rescue the U.S. economy — putting America back to work; driving down energy and food
prices; giving green collar jobs and new chances to underserved youth; and forever ending the
need for oil wars and resource wars.
