The only thing that can save the world is the reclaiming of the awareness of the world. That’s what poetry does. — Allen Ginsberg
So according to a study commissioned by Mayor Bloomberg, the greenhouse gas emissions of New York City in 2005 was on par with all of Ireland or Portugal.
You have to love it when a city produces as much environmentally destructive elements as an entire country.
The most interesting part was the fact that it’s mostly from the buildings and not the average citizen. The claim that the mass transit system is what make the citizens less polluting.
I wonder how much less the entire U.S. would produce if we took mass transit more seriously?
