Green Collar Jobs: The Next Step Forward with Van Jones November 20, 2006

In the new green economy, where do poor people fit in?

Van Jones is helping to create a green economy that is strong enough to lift people out of poverty. As the sustainable portion of the economy grows, he sees more than just business opportunities for the rich or consumer choices for the affluent. He also sees job opportunities for the poor and believes that the green wave should - and can - lift all boats. A compelling and inspiring presenter, Mr. Jones is Executive Director for the Ella Baker Centre for Human Rights in Oakland, CA.
