Van Jones' new book is a must-read for anyone involved in the Real Food Challenge, in food justice work, or in sustainable agriculture more generally.  What we do is one of the purest examples of the idea that "the best solutions for the survivability of our planet are also the best solutions for everyday Americans." That's how Al Gore summarized "The Green Collar Economy."

As this idea gains more prominence in the wake of the election and the financial crisis, we should all understand how we fit in.

If you order the book by Friday, you can help make publishing history. No African-American author has ever written an environmentally-themed book that became a best seller. Strong sales will pave the way for other vital new voices in the environmental movement!  (And you can also get a jump on your holiday shopping.)
