Environmental Activist Van Jones
http://thekojonnamdishow.org/shows/2007-11-05/environmental-activist-van-jones
Van Jones is not your typical environmental activist. He spends most of his time working with disadvantaged communities in Oakland, CA. And he says that engaging marginalized groups is a signature challenge for a truly broad-based environmental movement. He joins Kojo and Howard to explore intersections between environmental and social justice, and discuss his idea to create "green collar" jobs in urban communities.
