DNC: Hannah and her issues Daryl Hannah promotes eco-values at the Democratic convention	Kate Sheppard	26 Aug 2008	Gristmill
Actress and eco-activist Daryl Hannah is in Denver this week, where she's promoting environmental awareness among delegates and other attendees. I ran into her accidentally while parking my bike, and was able to grab a few minutes to talk about why she's in town and what she wants from our political leaders:

The hot rancher speaks U.S. Senate candidate Scott Kleeb and the clean energy roundup	Glenn Hurowitz	09 Jun 2008	Gristmill
Fresh from an overwhelming primary victory in Nebraska's U.S. Senate race, 32-year-old rancher, Yale Ph.D., and college history teacher Scott Kleeb spoke with me on the phone about his 'brand of change' for a clean energy economy and the environment. Kleeb shocked the political establishment in 2006 by getting 45 percent of the vote in Nebraska's 3rd Congressional District, one of the most Republican districts in the country. Then, as now, he ran as a clear pr ...

Departed from gasoline Oceans of love for the Tesla-driving Matt Damon	Holly Richmond	05 Jun 2008	Gristmill
Photo: PBS Not that I'm fcking (in love with) Matt Damon and would use even vaguely green news as an excuse to write about him -- what would give you that idea? -- but the Bourne star was spotted earlier this week taking a Tesla prototype for a spin. Autofiends.com chatted him up about how fast it accelerates; it took the writer minutes to notice that the guy he was talking to was Damon (!). Ecorazzi reported in August that Damon added his name to a waitin ...*

Vangelism Q&A with Van Jones about the Climate Security Act and green jobs	Kate Sheppard	05 Jun 2008	Gristmill
Van Jones. What does the green jobs and justice community think about the Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act?

Jones, a civil-rights lawyer and the founder and former executive director of the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, has become a leading voice for building a green economy. Green for All pu ...

Feed your Van Jones crush Premier episode of a new online film series features Jones and Carl Pope	Maywa Montenegro	04 Jun 2008	Gristmill
A new online film series called This Brave Nation premiered its first episode Sunday night: a conversation between Carl Pope and Van Jones. Both are natives of Frisco and both are equally adamant about environmental stewardship, but they have vastly different approaches. Here they chat about melding those tactics towards a common goal. Later this month, on June 15, Pete Seeger and Majora Carter discuss environmentalism, protest music, civil rights, and urban renewal ...

The Van fan club GOOD magazine's profile on the black green activist	Maywa Montenegro	09 Apr 2008	Gristmill
What Grist readers might have predicted over a year ago, when David interviewed Van Jones, is quickly becoming reality. In October, Thomas Friedman, in a gushing editorial, called Jones a 'rare bird' who 'exudes enough energy to light a few buildings on his own.' Now he's appeared on the Colbert Report where, despite the always-awkward position of Stephen's interviewees, he managed to land 'green jobs' in the mental dictionary of millions of young viewers. I had th ...
