This is a link to a speech by Majora Carter - Executive Director of Sustainable South Bronx - who has been brought up several times in discussions in recent weeks.
It is very interesting and inspiring.

City of Chicago Proposing Special Tax on Bottled Water

It would be great to hear what people in the class think about this.
