Post Carbon Fellow Majora Carter was featured in this article in the Unviersity of Alberta’s The Gateway.

From the article:

Startups supervised by Carter include a contracting company that creates green roofs on the traditional tar-topped warehouses so familiar in New York City, to a startup that employs young people for quality control in the tech and gaming industries. Carter said her goal with all these projects is to create a fiscally viable idea that people will buy into.

Carter emphasized keeping environmental and social sustainability in the fore of any project. Her green-roofing business, where warehouse roofs are turned into gardens, arose from New York City’s issues with waste water management. Rather than building large and unsightly stations to deal with runoff, Carter’s startup used the water to irrigate rooftop gardens.
