This Being is an INSPIRATION....

"The chief moral obligation of the 21st Century is to build a green economy that is strong enough to lift people out of poverty. Those communities that were locked out of the last century's pollution-based economy must be locked into the new, clean and renewable economy.
Our youth need green-collar jobs, not jails."
- Van Jon

Here a great interview with him at: http://www.ringoffireradio.com/video/RF%20083008%20hour%203%20Van%20Jones%20Ted%20Sorensen.mp3

"Van Jones may be the best speaker in America addressing social justice and environmental issues. Audiences are always moved by Van's heart, inspired by his commitment, and rocked by his eloquence. Van doesn't read his speeches; he suffuses them into his listeners because he is utterly present and available. I can think of no one more pertinent to our future than Van and his seamless integration of race, poverty, the environment, and human rights."Paul Hawken Author of The Ecology of Commerce and Natural Capitalism: Creating the Next Industrial Revolution
