People of New York: Tell Us About Your City
by Michael Graham Richard, Ottawa, Canada
on 06.19.06

The latest addition to our City Series is a big one: New York City. By now you know how it works: We want to know what are the good, and what are the bad things going on there. What is the general level of eco-consciousness in population? How is it for cyclists? How's public transportation? Suburban sprawl? Air quality? Recycling/composting? As time passes, are things getting better or worse? How are the policymakers? Anything you think we might find interesting, please share it with us in the comments of this post.


Some of the Ford Escape hybrid taxis that we wrote about a while ago.


You can find out more about what is happening daily in the city by checking out the Gothamist, and about the city in general in the very extensive New York City Wikipedia entry.
Check out some of our NYC TreeHuggerTV episodes: Trike Taxi, Swaporamarama, Hybrid Come Front & Center (New York Auto Show), Brooklyn Designs.
To read our NYC posts, just input "New York" in TreeHugger's search engine (top right of every page). There are just way too many of them to link here...
