Bette Midler (64, New York City)
Changing the World By Revitalizing the Urban Landscape
After a wildly successful acting and musical career, Bette Midler set her sights on a local goal: the improvement of her adopted hometown of NYC. Consequently, she founded the New York Restoration Project in 1995 in hopes of attaining a “cleaner, greener New York City.” The organization revitalizes parks and gardens in all five boroughs, seeking to guarantee access to greenery for every resident while contributing to the city’s sustainability.
