More quotes by Van Jones
I have become the poster child for calling all the Trump people racists, when, in fact, I don't think they're all racists, but they tolerated racism. And that's a problem.
Van Jones
Former brownfields, depressed urban areas, and hard-hit rural towns blossom as eco-industrial parks, green enterprise zones, and eco-villages. Farmers' markets, community co-ops, and mobile markets get fresh, organic produce to the people who can't afford to shop at health-food stores.
Van Jones
All the old rules - if you say some crazy stuff you get your show canceled or you get your campaign ended - don't apply in the world of social media. They don't apply in the world of reality TV.

In other words: we can fight pollution and poverty at the same time, with the same method. We can beat global warming and the global recession at the same time, with the same method. We can do this by putting people to work re-powering America with clean energy.
Van Jones
I'm not calling for redistributing wealth I'm calling for reinvigorating our stuck energy sector, so some new entrepreneurs can create some new wealth.
Van Jones
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.

The disaster in the gulf shows: relying on dangerous, dirty fuels can at times impose incalculable costs. I have never heard of a wind farm collapsing and causing a massive wind-slick. I have never heard of a solar farm collapsing and leaving behind a catastrophic sun-spill.
Van Jones
Clean coal represents a breakthrough in the marketing of coal, but not in the science of burning coal.
Van Jones
Ninth generation American, ma'am, and I'm the first one in my family born with all my rights. I'm a ninth generation American. And so we have not escaped because I went to Yale all the problems of this country.
Van Jones
If you think love is weak, that's a personal problem because real love is the strongest thing in the universe.
Van Jones
We tend to overlook the fact that a mature clean energy economy in fact will give an opportunity to ordinary people to earn more money as clean energy workers/entrepreneurs - and save more money, through conservation and energy efficiency.
Van Jones
All humans have fear, and those of us who are fortunate have faith.
Van Jones
I am for literally all of the underdogs that I can command and demand better of everyone, including myself.
Van Jones
God chooses community sometimes to bear an unfair burden to force us to rise to the next level of consciousness and understanding.
Van Jones
The problem is that we didn't fight the way we should've fought. We made it be about [Donald Trump] and [Hillary Clinton] as opposed to making it be about us. If we had said this was a fight, not about I'm with Her but I'm with Us then maybe we would've had a different attitude toward her.
Van Jones
Reversing global warming will take a World War II level of mobilization. It is the work of tens of millions, not hundreds of thousands.
Van Jones
You have a new media system and Donald Trump emerged as a new master of it.
Van Jones
Higher energy costs are unavoidable in all future scenarios.
Van Jones
I'm willing to forgo the cheap satisfaction of the radical pose for the deep satisfaction of radical ends.
Van Jones
Environmentalists and clean energy champions should stop telling people that we are working for sustainability, which nobody understands.
