SEPTEMBER / OCTOBER 2011


"The Green Collar Economy:
How One Solution Can Fix Our Two Biggest Problems" 


Visionary Van Jones presents a clear, inclusive and practical "Green New Deal" in which the government partners with all the people to efficiently and renewably energize a third mass movement of "inventive" environmentalism and solve our socioeconomic and ecological problems.  We must address the growing problem of environmental injustice, which threatens to divide the rich and poor even more and thus weaken the spirit of national solidarity needed to create this green jobs movement.  


Learn how to be a part of this by reading 1/3 of the book and joining the discussion.

This 2nd selection reminds me of Robert Kennedy Jr's "Crimes Against Nature". See his new movie "The Last Mountain" or just watch this short video: http://www.thenation.com/video/161711/robert-f-kennedy-jr-how-corporations-threaten-our-environment-and-democracy

NOVEMBER 2011:

"Unequal Protection:
How Corporations Became "People" - And How You Can Fight Back" 

The Citizens United ruling gave Oil and other polluters more power.  The 2010 election was heavily influenced by unprecedented amounts of non-disclosed money.  Just three non-party groups spent over 70 million to defeat environmental heroes who tried to get climate and energy legislation passed.  Before this situation gets worse, enjoy Thom Hartman's brilliant literary style and read 1/4 of this history of corporate power, its consequences and how we can support reform, and join the discussion.
