Van Jones
I am sharing my faith with my sons. I pray, meditate and read devotionally. But let me be clear: I am a person of faith not because I am a saint, but because I am a sinner.
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
We have to accept that some very toxic stuff was marbled into the Trump phenomenon.
