Van Jones entertains, intrigues at Kalamazoo College event
Author, activist and former White House advisor Van Jones drew a crowd of more than 400 people to the Kalamazoo College campus recently for his appearance as part of the William Weber Lecture on Government and Society.
The Kalamazoo Gazette reports his talk was laced with humor. He also had advice: “I’ve worked in solar energy for 10 years and I’ve never seen a sun spill. There is a smarter way to power America and the good thing about it is everything that is good for the environment is a job.”
The audience reacted to his remarks.
Excerpt:
“Van Jones shows himself as a true showman,” said Bejamin Leventer, 22. “Ultimately he left us with a challenge of how to bring jobs back and bring about climate change by changing our reliance on ‘dead’ energy sources.”
