GOOD Magazine Inventions: The Love Virus

www.good.is/shows/inventions

If you could invent anything, what would it be? Majora Carter, an environmental justice advocate and founder of the Majora Carter Group –a green-collar economic consulting firm, suggested a Love Virus. While the concept may seem full of good intentions, it is a rather practical and beneficial virus for the kind of work Majora Carter is involved in. As president of the Majora Carter Group and former executive director of the Sustainable South Bronx, a substantial barrier to green-collar economic projects is getting different sectors of business, community groups, and government agencies to find the considerable value in each other and a common goal through green-economic resources.

By fixing the “empathy-deficit” of business leaders, community organizers, and government bureaucrats, the Love Virus could provide the much-needed impetus for the profound mental transformation needed for essential environmental change. A virus that infects people with love, an infectious, low-grade ecstasy, sounds like an affliction we could definitely use.
What’s your invention?
