Tony C. Anderson, a social entrepreneur, sustainability nonprofit consultant and recent Compton Mentor Fellow with the Compton Foundation, began his work with co-founder Marcus Penny, as a student, by championing the work of environmental justice through campus level dialogues and actions thru the chartering SEeED, The Let's Retrofit a Million Education Fund (LRAM), and the Applied Mentorship Program for Sustainability (AMPS).

Through this work, they have retrofitted over 30,337 energy efficient light bulbs, water conservation kits and low flow toilets by canvassing low-income neighborhoods door-to-door; a realized savings of over $7.1 million. Using these energy saving solutions as a tactic to “engage communities of modest means where they are” he has been championed by President Bill Clinton and the Clinton Global Initiative University as well as Campus Progress, the National Wildlife Federation and many other.
