GOOD Magazine asset, video. Phillip Carter is a 31-year-old who’s served two tours of active duty: from 1997 to 2001, and 2005 to 2006. This is a portrait of life after the war. He focuses now on the human element of questions like whether or not the U.S. should go to war, or whether the U.S. should stay in Iraq. Coming home was an awkward experience for Carter. He found that people went on about their daily lives, as though they didn’t know their country was involved in a war, and they probably didn’t care. But Carter says he would do it all over again. He got a lot more out of the army than the army got out of him. For more portraits, go to http://www.goodmagazine.com/ From Wiredset Digital Agency.
GOOD Magazine asset, video. Detroit, MI is a city of contrast. Some of the richest areas in the country sit next to some of the poorest. Four artists gathered for what started out as an artistic endeavor, but turned into a social crusade. They set to paint abandoned, decrepit homes orange so the city can demolish them. They wanted to take dilapidated structures and make something beautiful and positive out of it, rather than have kids playing and hanging out in the rotting skeleton of homes.

The project has been ongoing for two years. The first child was from the Dominican Republic, the youngest one from Ethiopia. It all started as a photo project, but Goldfield hopes this can be the foundation of the NY Children mission – to gather and nurture an inclusive community of children and create opportunities for them to meet, learn about each other, and form friendships. It’s about New York, about families, and about a community. To learn more, log onto http://www.goodmagazine.com/. From Wiredset Digital Agency.

When you physically see it and smell it, you have more direct evidence of the issues concerning the environment. Please visit http://www.goodmagaznie.com/ for more information.

GOOD Magazine asset, video. The Highline is an elevated rail structure designed to carry freight trains thru NYC in the 1930s, and ran actively from 1934 until the 60s. It was eventually abandoned with the rise of highways. In 2001, the structure was slated to be torn down, until two neighborhood activists– Joshua David and Robert Hammond—created “Friends of the Highline.” Their mission was to save the structure and turn it into a park. They achieved success in 2003 when the city halted the structure’s demolition and passed a ruling to preserve the rail line. They held a contest to come up with the most creative idea for a park. In 2004, a winner was chosen, and the new park will open to the public in 2008. The group’s efforts brought the community together, and proved things that ought to be can be if you have the will to pursue them. For more, log onto http://www.goodmagazine.com/.
