jones brings a big issue to a lower level

I really like the way that Van Jones is framing climate change in a social setting. It seems like in a lot of ways he’s bringing a huge issue down to a more human level, making it more accessible to average people.

He’s really combining two missions into one: providing jobs and a sustainable lifestyle for the lower class, and educating people about what they can do on a more personal level about climate change. He’s really taken something that is usually of little concern to someone who’s just getting by and incorporating it into their daily lives.
