The TH Interview: Ariella Maron—The Greening of New York City
By TreeHugger Radio | August 8, 2008
Love it or hate it, New York’s 8.25 million people are some of the greenest citizens walking among us. Whether they know it or not, New Yorkers have significantly lighter footprints than the vast majority of Americans, and Mayor Bloomberg is trying to seal the deal by greening NYC’s buildings, yellow taxis, black limos, public transit, and introducing a climate protection act and congestion charging (although it failed, despite notable support). This is all in preparation for an influx of new New Yorkers in the next twenty years.
Ariella Maron is Bloomberg’s Deputy Director of Long Term Planning and Sustainability, which means it’s her job to see that the city gets greened and that the journey is properly mapped. She spoke to us about the nitty gritty of PlaNYC 2030, and about New York’s potential on the world stage. ::TreeHugger Radio
