Green Jobs

Tony Anderson's grassroots group, "Let's Raise a Million," uses lightbulb giveaways to preach down-to-Earth environmentalism to low-income families. Anderson, a recent graduate of Morehouse College in Atlanta, is a protégé of Van Jones and a Fellow with the Compton Foundation. As a recipient of the Fellowship, Tony received a stipend so that he could focus on work with Majora Carter, Van Jones and Nia Robinson to help guide him in his urban ecology research: finding opportunities to align misplaced incentives of sustainable investment among landlords and redirection of these financial considerations to the tenets who are typically of modest means.
