Majora Carter believes residents shouldn’t have to move out of their neighborhood to live in a better one. In 2001, she founded the nonprofit, environmental-justice solutions corporation, Sustainable South Bronx. She is now president of the green-collar economic consulting company, The Majora Carter Group, LLC. Carter promotes the idea that local environmental solutions rest on poverty alleviation through green economic development. A resident of the South Bronx, Carter received the MacArthur “genius award” in 2005.
