2006
Overview
In light of the New York (NY) City's projected growth, it is in the city's best interest to fund and implement a comprehensive citywide planning process with a one-year timeframe for completion and five-year tracking. This process should evaluate the real costs of doing business as usual, provide significant financial and personnel support toward building a comprehensive sustainability agenda, and establish a timeline for implementation within all city operations. The city should explore developing a way to impose tariffs on any goods and packaging that cannot be recycled or reused, require any major development that receives city subsidies to do it entirely green, and expect developers to pay for the privilege of doing business anywhere in NY -- especially if their projects run even the slightest risk of reducing the quality of life in overburdened neighborhoods.
