What You Missed: The New Green

The New Green, via Inhabitat

Green-design blog Inhabitat has an enthusiastic recap of Makor’s Wednesday-night panel discussion on the changing face of environmentalism in New York.

All the participants were brilliant and insightful. The one who struck me the most, however, represented a community not typically associated with the environmental movement: Harlem. Negotiating what is typically considered a white liberal terrain, Kizzy Charles-Guzman and her environmental justice organization, We Act, seek to balance environmental issues, development projects, and local economic vitality in the Harlem community. She spoke directly to the Inhabitat philosophy when she said that for too long the environment has been considered the great outdoors, and that it needs to be framed as “indoors: the places we live, work and pray.” Amen.
