Video presentation of a talk by activist Majora Carter at the 2005 TED conference, on the role of sustainable development and green business in the revitalization of New York City's South Bronx. Carter, who was awarded a 2005 MacArthur "genius" grant, now serves as executive director of Sustainable South Bronx, where she pushes both for eco-friendly practices (such as green and cool roofs) and, equally important, job training and green-related economic development for her vibrant neighborhood on the rise.
