Greens and the environment

These days it seems everybody is "going green." Real concern for climate change and the environment, however, has to go beyond slogans and bullet points designed to look good and make a buck.

...worth saving...

This affects us all. We can't solve anything if it's only for some, and it's run by greed. That's what brought us here in the first place. That and complacency. Then there's something called misinformation. The lack of a committed media. A shortage of proper education. The list goes on...

I would recommend Van Jones' book "The Green Collar Economy" for several reasons.
Firstly, it's a great blueprint for moving forward with establishing a new green economy, which is the only sane option for everyone on the planet at this time. Jones poses the green collar economy as the answer to our current ills, from the flagging economy, social injustice, and global warming, to our addiction to oil.

For cities such as Lake Worth, it's a great resource for planning a way forward.
