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.
