Last Wednesday, the New York City Council passed a version of Mayor Michael Bloomberg's plan to reduce greenhouse gases. It is less costly than the initially proposed plan, but nevertheless, the owners of NYC's largest buildings will have to pay for ways to reduce their energy consumption. Bloomberg's initiative and goal for New York City is to reduce its carbon footprint by 30% by 2030. It is considered one of the leading plans nationwide to reduce harmful effects on the environment.
