Thanks to Climate Progress for the heads up;
"Speaking at a conference on the future of America's economic competitiveness, green jobs leader Van Jones called for a "robust policy discussion" on equity, inclusion, and fairness in the emerging green economy. In one of his first appearances since returning to the Center for American Progress, senior fellow Van Jones told attendees of the CAP-Apollo Alliance conference, "Picking a Winner: How to Make the U.S. a Leader in the Clean Energy Economy," that we now know that the clean energy economy is coming. There are "three key questions that need to be addressed" about the emerging clean energy economy, Jones said, that need to be addressed, but only two already have a "robust policy discussion."
What have you done today to lower your impact?
We are washing away the foundations of our existence on every front. It is high time we move from crashing about on the planet like a bull in china shop and find a way to go forward with intent. We must find systems of living based on sustainability. The systems and tools exist, it is up to each of us to adopt them.
