The organization spearheaded the creation of Hunt's Point Riverside Park , the first piece of the projected South Bronx Greenway ; it is also involved in " Green Roof " projects, and has a program called Bronx Environmental Stewardship Program (B.E.S.T.) a skills training program focused on what Majora Carter calls "green-collar jobs", such as ecological restoration, hazardous waste cleanup, and landscaping: the program has a 90% placement ratio. They are also proposing a Bronx Recycling Center as an alternative use for a piece of land where the city government currently wants to construct a prison, and are engaged in developing "a collection of businesses in which the waste and byproducts of one business are the raw materials for another one."
