Dame Shirly
Porter
6. In 1970, Dame Shirley
was walking with her
sister, Potter Green, in
Hyde Park, and thought
“the city is neglected and
far too
dirty.” “Well,” replied her
sister-in-law, “if you feel
that way, why not try to do
something about it?”
The origin of the Porter
School of environmental
Studies can probably be
traced back to that day,
that observation, and that
challenge.
