Question: Is it fair to ask developing countries to go green?
Majora Carter: I think we need to be realistic with ourselves. And we need to be supportive of developing countries so they can do that.
I don’t blame them for looking dead at America, and everybody else is saying, “Excuse me? You had the right to pollute all your lives and suddenly you’re saying, no, we can’t?” No. But we do need to be really supportive of them, so that they’re not making the same foolish mistakes that we made. So I think that that’s really going to be the way out of it.
