One of the poorest congressional districts in the country, Bronx County, is receiving a "green" facelift thanks to an eccentric school teacher named Stephen Ritz and an army of amazing students.

Check out the following TED Talk to fully understand how Mr. Ritz's enthusiasm, vision and ideas like "edible farming walls" has set forth an unbelievable path of self-sustained wealth for students that have taken control of their urban surroundings instead of just submitting to them.
