I would love to read this and then do a review on one of my blogs. I get so tired of hearing all the negative stuff about the author and would like to add something positive to the conversation.

oh yes. 1) anything writen by a Jones has gotta be good. 2) marrying both movements has gotta be the answer, right? logical sense to me for years. Im very interested in the soloutions proposed.

Sounds like an interesting read. I'm guessing...

Sounds like an interesting read. I'm guessing it specifically refers to a creating a green collar economy in the US, but I'm sure the principles could be applied elsewhere.

ouuu, the snippets actually DO sound interesting! You're right, when I read the title I thought the same thing...

I would love to read this book- hope you pick me! :)

I agree that often the big change stuff can be frustrating without something more than just voting as a way for the reader to affect change. but then, reading about how important these political changes can help influence how we vote, and perhaps inspire a few letters :)

I really like what Suzannah said above: "environmental racism"- wow so interesting!

Don't enter me as I've already read the book and done my own giveaway but I wanted to agree with your review. This book was so easy to read, to understand and, frankly, for our government to understand. Hopefully, if nothing else, the controversy surrounding VJ will get people to read his book and then, more likely than not, they'll jump on the Green Jobs bandwagon.

I'm looking forward to reading this...if I don...

i would really enjoy reading this, especially as you mention he make the connection between enviromental degredation and social justice issues. it is crazy to me how many people fail to see that mistreatment of the planet impacts people--not just trees, whales, etc--and poor people and communities of color, domestically and internationally, are radically and disproportionately affected.

"environmental racism" (in addition to "environmental justice") is another concept definitely worth checking out...

thanks for letting me know about this book.
