This incredible woman, Majora Carter was just featured on a segment on CNN. I looked on their website for more information on her and her organization, but only found this link. She is an amazingly inspiring woman from the South Bronx with more than just great ideas about bringing environmentalism to the inner-city.She demonstrates that by implementing these ideas, she is bringing significant change. Isn't that what everyone is talking about these days?
Watch this video for a short, informative history lesson and and encouraging look at what one person can do when they take things personally.

Bigger size video - especially as the video posted with the article doesn't work with my browser, for some reason.

THAT WAS INSPIRING! "EVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE" MAY HAVE STEMMED FROM THE SIERRA CLUB MOVEMENT AND THE SUPERFUND CLEANUPS...AND OTHER HARD WORKING ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVISTS... FOR SURE MORE PUBLIC AWARENESS AND GRASSROOTS ARE WARRENTED. THANKS CRAIG FOR MAKING EARTH DAY RELEVANT!
