More quotes by Van Jones
The bombs the government drops in Iraq are the bombs that blew up in New York City.
Van Jones
We pull out of the ground death, we burn death in our power plants, and then we act shocked when we get death in the form of oil spills and global warming.

Will the new environmental leaders fight for eco-equity in this new green economy they are birthing?

You know it's not you have to see it to believe it - sometimes you have to believe it to see it. You have to know what you're looking for when you're seeing signs of an authoritarian takeover of your country.

Van Jones
Maybe we should be a little bit more tender-hearted.
Van Jones
I have many sources of inspiration. I'd have to point to Dr. Martin Luther King, first and foremost. But my parents were good, hardworking folks who kept us in the church and the public schools, and out of trouble, for the most part.

We have the water, food and other industries which are also experiencing some redirection.

Government needs to do two things: put a price on carbon and invest heavily in new technologies.
Van Jones
Right now, the government is spending billions of dollars supporting the problem-makers in the U.S. economy - the polluters, despoilers, incarcerators, and warmongers.
Van Jones
By kicking its carbon addiction, America will increase its national wealth and generate millions of jobs that can't be outsourced.
Van Jones
There is great wisdom, there's great strength and there's great beauty in all of our religion, and those should be marshaled for good.
Van Jones
If people leave your coalition, whose fault is it? It's your fault. You have to build a coalition that's attractive to people.
Van Jones
A green economy begins to replace some of the clunking and chugging of ugly machines with the wise effort of beautiful, skilled people. That means more jobs.
Van Jones
We should tell people we are working to protect our country. We are working to make America stronger for the long run.
