Brown Bag, Green Book #3: The Green Collar Economy
In The Green Collar Economy, author Van Jones illustrates how we can invent and invest our way out of the pollution-based grey economy and into a healthy new green economy. Chris Woodhull, a Knoxville City Councilman who co-founded TRIBE ONE, led a community discussion of the book.
"I am interested in this book because it combines two significant community challenges with one very practical solution," says Woodhull. "We address the disenfranchisement of inner city youth to the workforce at the same time that we are building a greener city. This approach is tailor made for us here in Knoxville."
