Living Legacy: In Honor Of Van Jones










From: Naomi Davis
http://blacksingreen.org/
Subject: Living Legacy: In Honor Of Van Jones


IN RESPONSE TO THE RESIGNATION OF VAN JONES



Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting
for the other person to die.
- Dr. Wayne Dyer


Phaedra Ellis-Lamkins is right: your action now is called for now.
Please see her message from Green For All below.

Further, Margaret Mead reminds us, and Beck and company confirm:


Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful,
committed, citizens can change the world.
Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.
- Margaret Mead


Like many of you, I'm sad and angry about the events which
culminated with the resignation of Van Jones from his position
in the Obama administration. But Van's legacy deserves so
much more than feelings: it merits more and methodical organizing.


You're part of the solution or you're part of the problem.

- Eldridge Cleaver


Help spread the good and necessary news of the new green economy.
Show your support for the green jobs movement, and the values it
stands for. Spread the word with 10 others.

Simply forward the link below to your friends and family:


Start with what's in your hand.
- Rep. Adam Clayton Powell, Jr.

Van Jones is my friend and mentor, but my call to action isn't about
me, isn't about Van - what he did or didn't mean, isn't about dirty
deeds America did or didn't do. This call to action is about our future,
not our past. It's about our humanity and our sanity to do what works.
It's about our need for all hands on deck.

Let's keep our eye on the prize. Please sign and forward this petition...
and listen for organizing updates from Blacks in Green™ and from
our friends at Green For All.


History turns on slender hinges.
- Ambassador Carol Moseley Braun


We are a witness to the Power of One - the power of one voice,
alone or united - to light a whole new way...for the greater good
or otherwise. For example, as much as any one person, Van Jones
moved our collective mind to green solutions for the greater good -
one solution to America's two biggest problems - pollution and
poverty. He invested his life in "making lemonade." Sweet.

Sooner or later the verdict will be in on us: did we do what we
needed to survive?...did those of us who knew better, lend a hand
to teach our neighbors "how to fish?" In the swirl of our murky
imperfections we can always clarify by declaring:


I believe in a world that works for everyone,
with no one and nothing left out.



Do you? Please take a stand by signing and forwarding this petition.
Take a stand for a world where together we generate and enjoy the
health and wealth benefits of the new green economy.




Thank you,
Signature







Naomi Davis
President & Founder
Blacks in Green™


P.S. For the record, I stand with Van - who he is, whatever
he said or meant. Email me your perspective, if you like at
naomi@blacksingreen..org. Let's share, not shout.



BIG: Blacks in Green™ | 10001 S. Woodlawn Avenue | At The Olive-Harvey Sustainability Institute |

Commonwealth Computer Recycling: SBN Model Succeeds for Sustainable Louisville Member


August 18, 2008: Courier Journal Business article highlights Sustainable Business Networks and Sustainable Louisville business member Commonwealth Computer Recycling:

Parting ways

Commonwealth Computer Recycling turns old PCs, monitors into cash

By Bill Wolfebwolfe@courier-journal.com • August 18, 2008

Commonwealth Computer Recycling was about a month old in March 2006, founder Jim Shields recalled, when he found himself tossing a ball to his German shepherd Dori and waiting "for one lady who had called in. She had one PC, one monitor and one printer. I waited four hours," he said.

Two years later, there's very little waiting around at the Louisville company. "It's a rocket. The thing has taken off very, very quickly," Shields said.

Located in a warehouse on East Kentucky Street, Commonwealth takes in between 60 and 80 tons of equipment every month -- mostly computers and monitors, but also other assorted electronic gear, from printers to copiers, fax machines, telephones and more.

The business is built on two promises: Those concerned about security issues are assured that the data-storing hard drives from their computers will be either shredded or electronically scrubbed of all information -- or both -- before the part leaves the warehouse.

In addition, anyone worried about the impact of millions of discarded computers on the environment can be certain that the equipment will be completely recycled -- not stripped of valuable parts and then placed in landfills.

Journalist Fairlegh Brooks gave an overview of how solar energy works, and highlighted the contributions of Architects Gary Watrous and Mark Isaacs and Green Builder Gil Holland. All three business people, founding members of the Sustainable Business Networks association, have pioneered successful market rate solar projects in the American mid-south.

Alas! 2008 Sustainable Louisville "Green Magic" Pegasus Parade Float Canceled

Alas, the 2008 Sustainable Louisville "Green Magic" Kentucky Derby Festival Pegasus Parade float has been canceled.  The reasons are many, including, the economic downturn, the scattering of young artists from Louisville to the wider world, and the understandable priorities of daily life for many families and friends. 

We want to take a moment to thank the many wonderful community artists, businesses, families and the staff and volunteers of the Kentucky Derby Festival who went above and beyond in creating the Sustainable Louisville "Green Magic"  Grand Prize Winning Float in the 2007 Parade.

The float celebrated a "Green Future" for our community. Powered by 100% vegetable oil and sunshine, built of recycled and non-toxic materials, celebrating the magical spirits of nature, the "Green Magic" float demonstrated that any and all aspects of the Derby and other public events in Louisville could indeed be based entirely in renewable energy, green materials and community arts and spirit.  

We are impressed that the Derby Festival has continued to "Go Green," this year increasing recycling on site, and crafting even the famous "Derby Pins" out of recyclable, bio-degradeable materials.  Way to go!

To learn more about the "Green Magic" float and further adventures in community art, please take a look at
