The Green Collar Economy:
How One Solution Can Fix Our Two Biggest Problems - by Van Jones

Inside The Book - Real Solutions for Both Planet and People

More than ever our country needs real solutions to our energy, economic and ecological crises. Answers to these tough questions are between the covers of The Green Collar Economy:

How can the next U.S. president create millions of new green jobs?

How can we lower energy prices without drilling our shorelines and burning up our planet?

How can the government help create energy independence – at practically zero cost to the tax payer?

What is eco-apartheid? What is eco-equity?

"Van Jones demonstrates conclusively that the best solutions for the survivability of our planet are also the best solutions for everyday Americans." -Al Gore

NY Times columnist Thomas Friedman quotes Van Jones, saying, "It's time to stop borrowing and start building. America's number one resource is not oil or mortgages. Our number one resource is our people. Let's put people back to work — retrofitting and repowering America." (9/28/08)
