Majora Carter & The Promised Land



I while back I was watching The Green on the Sundance Channel- this episode was featuring Majora Carter who ran/founded a non profit called Sustainable South Bronx - "where she pioneered green-collar job training and placement systems in one of the most environmentally and economically challenged parts of the US." The episode I watched was her personal story about installing a "green roof" on top of her row home in the Bronx. I love this idea (and would LOVE to see this happen on the top of my work's building). She is really a dynamic person & you should check out her website - or the The Promise Land, the radio show she hosts.
