New York skyscrapers say goodbye to glass because of pollution.

New York is about to become sustainable. The decision was made by the mayor Bill De Blasio"No to glass skyscrapers, they pollute too much!"
While they are beautiful, they are also incredibly inefficient, waste energy and pollute more than cars.
The ordinance to ban them and make the Big Applea Big Green Apple.

Green New Deal is the name of the grand plan that will include the ban on the construction of new glass skyscrapers in New Yorkwith the goal of reducing the metropolis' greenhouse gas emissions by 30 per cent by 2030, bringing the city in line with the standards that emerged from the Paris Climate Agreement.

14 billion allocated for this 'green' project which also includes measures to promote the use of clean energy sources, such as Canadian hydropower.
And again: the compulsory recycling of organic substances and the elimination of single-use plastic food purchases in the city.

An act approved in recent weeks by the city council requires owners of buildings of 2300 square metres to reduce carbon emissions by 40% by 2030, and 80% by 2050, with fines for violators of up to USD 1 million per year.

Smaller buildings and new buildings are also required to have roofs fitted with plants, solar panels, mini wind turbines, or a combination of all three, while there are plans to close down New York's gas and oil power plants and convert them into renewable energy plants.
