I met a great community activist called Majora Carter in Belfast a few weeks ago. She was visiting the Connswater Community Greenway project that I chair. She heads up a Bronx River project in New York. She is quite inspirational and you can see something of her style in the video clip by following the link below.

Notice how she challenges Al Gore and has the confidence to carry it off. I am told that she is one of the next big personalities of the third sector in the US. I can see why.
If you have the time, take a look.
