More quotes by Van Jones

Van Jones
We have to accept that some very toxic stuff was marbled into the Trump phenomenon.
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
Stop using your phones and laptops as toys and use them to start a revolution.
Van Jones
We should tell people we are working to protect our country. We are working to make America stronger for the long run.
Van Jones
There are some cities that are doing good stuff, but there aren't enough of them. If you don't fight for what you want, then you deserve what you get. And in politics, if you don't ask, you don't get at all.
Van Jones
I think the African American community, the Latino community, the Native American communities have borne an unfair burden in the last century, and continue to.
Van Jones
We should use the transition to a better energy strategy as an opportunity to create a better economy and a better country all around.
Van Jones
If we keep pulling death from the ground, we will reap death from the skies.
Van Jones
Now we stand at our own crossroads, looking out upon two futures: one with rising temperatures, rising oceans, and rising violence on a hot and strip-mined planet and another with expanding organic harvests, growing solar arrays, and deepening global partnerships on a green and thriving Earth.
