Last Tuesday, Van Jones visited Sacramento in support of Johnson’s new green initiative. The initiative has five policy focus areas: energy, waste and recycling, water and nature, urban design and green building, and green and clean technology. Sacramento is a growing city and with that comes responsible growth, and equally as important the green initiative lays out extensive plans for job creation.
