Rethinking Poverty: Multiplying Our Impact

In this video Van Jones, author of The Green Collar Economy, speaks passionately about a series of interrelated issues. The central assertion in his talk is that we can have a green revolution AND fight poverty in our country at the same time.

Van speaks to a shifting paradigm of presence in the world. More and more people are becomming more aware of themselves and their actions. People are becomming aware of how their actions impact those around them and then ripple out to affect those around the world.

Take a look at this video and as yourself, ‘what solution am I working for?’
