Let's change the way we think about urban life and start living in a greener, more sustainable manner.

Let's take a look at PlaNYC

NYC Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg is responsible for the Big Apple's new PlaNYC initiative, which challenges New Yorkers to fulfilling 10 key environmental goals. The plan focuses on the five key dimensions of the city's environment - land, air, water, energy and transportation. The combined impact of the plan is to contribute to a 30% reduction in global warming emissions. On land, Staten Island car rentals travelers can help create healthier and more transit-accessible communities by supporting housing initiatives and the development of abandoned brownfields. Mayor Bloomberg has also called on major industries to reduce their carbon footprint by subscribing to cleaner energy outlets and the support of citywide planting projects. Change is in the air in NYC, so don't miss your chance to contribute. Check out PlaNYC online at www.nyc,gov/html/planyc2030.
