Product Description:

Provocative, personal, and inspirational, The Green Collar Economy is not a dire warning but rather a substantive and viable plan for solving the biggest issues facing the country—the failing economy and our devastated environment. From a distance, it appears that these two problems are separate, but when we look closer, the connection becomes unmistakable.

In The Green Collar Economy, acclaimed activist and political advisor Van Jones delivers a real solution that both rescues our economy and saves the environment. The economy is built on and powered almost exclusively by oil, natural gas, and coal—all fast-diminishing nonrenewable resources. As supplies disappear, the price of energy climbs and nearly everything becomes more expensive. With costs and unemployment soaring, the economy stalls. Not only that, when we burn these fuels, the greenhouse gases they create overheat the atmosphere. As the headlines make clear, total climate chaos looms over us. The bottom line: we cannot continue with business as usual. We cannot drill and burn our way out of these dual dilemmas.

Instead, Van Jones illustrates how we can invent and invest our way out of the pollution-based grey economy and into the healthy new green economy. Built by a broad coalition deeply rooted in the lives and struggles of ordinary people, this path has the practical benefit of both cutting energy prices and generating enough work to pull the U.S. economy out of its present death spiral.

Rachel Carson's 1963 landmark book Silent Spring was the pivotal ecological examination of the last century. Now, rising above the impenetrable debate over the environment and the economy, Van Jones's The Green Collar Economy delivers a timely and essential call to action for this new century.

Customer Reviews

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating:

- The Green Collar Economy
Overall very good, starts out a little repetitive and circular. Starting with the section dealing with the current social situation it becomes very snappy and agil.

Rating:

- The Green Collar Economy
The subtitle says it all for this highly-readable book. Van Jones' articulate prose and common-sense approach to turning our ecomonic challenges into an opportunity for a green growth boom is a must-read for anyone who wants to live and thrive prosperously on a clean planet. I hope every decision maker in Washington and our state capitals has a copy of it on their nightstand.

Rating:

- green for ALL

Rating:

- The Green Collar Economy
The Green Collar Economy is written in a straight forward approach that allows the reader to imagine an economy without a dependency on oil. It was informative, imaginative, and gave a wealth of ideas that the ordinary citizen could grasp.
I highly recommend this book.

Rating:

- Awesome handbook for elegant survival
This is the absolute best book I've read in a long time. We are guided clearly and pragmatically beyond survival and towards thriving in harmony and balance with our planet and all varieties of her people and life forms. The author details clearly the work and legislation which must begin NOW. A book of Hope and Work and Happy Ending (for which you and I are to accept total responsibility).
