Van Jones is a visionary reading hid Bio and watching the video offers not only hope but as he says
"Ecological Solutions". He offers and talks about there are ways we create a "Green Wave' to make changes now. His "Clean Energy Job Corps" is brilliant in a economy headed for a recession. Roosevelts "New Deal" was a success in so many ways that impacted this country for almost a century
later. We do not have to create a war for jobs we can clean up this planet so we and our children may survive. Create a war on "Ecological Solutions" but will we have the Political leadership to get it done? Thank you Pamela it is interesting that this Visionary was on the Weather Channel....Makes you think.....

Thank you Pamela for this is a great article and to get it to work we all as an American living in America need to get the word out and to push for the clean air act. This needs to be done now and to beg I mean really beg for the next president to act for the clean air act to take place and to make sure we have clean water, air, and trees. For the future is so important to our children and grand children..
