New York City’s mayor for the past eight years, Michael Bloomberg, in 2007 rolled out PlaNYC, a detailed series of proposals aimed at reducing the city’s greenhouse-gas emissions by 30% by the year 2030. The plan calls for the city to plant one million trees, convert all of its taxis to less-polluting hybrid vehicles and retrofit city buildings to make them more energy efficient. Environmentalists call this plan one of the most comprehensive efforts in the world. SmartMoves applauds this effort and hopes other major cities around the globe will learn from PlaNYC and adopt appropriate measures to reduce their pollution impacts as well.
