How to Make the Green Movement Less White

Van Jones, the head of the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, and one of the most powerful speakers I know, has a wonderful article on how to get more diversity into the environmental movement..

Writing for ColorLines, Van Jones says, "In response to mounting ecological crises, the United States is going through its most important economic transformation since the New Deal. Unfortunately, the vital process of change along more eco-friendly lines is moving ahead with practically zero participation from people of color."

Great post!

If the economics don't work, recycling efforts won't either.
As our little contribution to make this economics of recycling more appealing, http://LivePaths.com blogs about people and companies that make money selling recycled or reused items, provide green services or help us reduce our dependency on non renewable resources.



PS How can I get a link back to your blog?
