 Electronic Music Foundation:

The Electronic Music Foundation’s environmental initiative is Ear to the
Earth, a start-up online international network.  Ear to the Earth also
encompasses an annual environmental sound festival in New York City. The
network’s goal is to create a worldwide community of musicians, sound
artists, scientists, environmental activists and interested members of the
public based on the concept that environmental sound art can inspire
individual emotional involvement with today’s environmental issues.  The
network allows users to exchange and create sounds and images that describe
places and subjects relating to environmental issues.

Sustainable South Bronx:

Sustainable South Bronx (SSBx) is a community organization dedicated to
environmental justice through innovative, economically sustainable projects
that are informed by community needs.   It serves Hunts Point and the South
Bronx.  Forty-five percent of the residents of Hunts Point (and 50% of its
children) live at or below the national poverty level. Only 40% of adults
have a high school diploma, and the unemployment rate (24%) is New York
City's highest. The population is 63.3% Hispanic and 32.4% African-American;
30% do not speak English. (www.ssbx.org)
