After eight years of the Bush administration’s denial of global warming, things in the White House are about to go green. This upcoming Monday, March 16, environmental activist Van Jones debuts as Special Advisor for Green Jobs, Enterprise, and Innovation on the White House Council on Environmental Quality. As author of The Green Collar Economy, a Time magazine 2008 Environmental Hero, and founding president of Green For All, this Obama appointee can only mean good things for this little planet we call Earth. Our only bone to pick with this green guru is his carnivorous consumption habits—but, hey, there’s always room for improvement!
