NYC urge the city council to approve Green Buildings!

Not many people know this, but NYC buildings account for 80% of
our city's carbon emissions.

That's why the City Council must act NOW on the Greener, Greater
Building Plan that would be the single biggest step in reducing
our carbon footprint and growing New York's green economy.

The City Council needs to act on this plan, but they only have
two meetings left. That means they need to hear from New Yorkers
like you and me!

That's why I'm writing you now. On December 9, the City Council
is meeting and we need them to act now on a proposal that to
significantly reduce our city's carbon footprint and grow the
green economy: the Greener, Greater Buildings Plan.

I've written the Council asking them to approve this critical
plan, and I'm hoping you'll consider doing the same. Will you
check it out? Your voice right now could be the wake-up call
they need to approve it by the end of the year. Here's the link

In New York City, the stakes of global warming are too high to
ignore:

- Increased electricity loads will result in more frequent power
outages.
- Biological and chemical changes will lead to a decrease of
water quality.
- Streets, basements, and sewers will flood more frequently.
- Public transportation and low-lying highways will face
increased delays.

And as you and I both know, climate change won't wait for
undecided lawmakers.

The Greener, Greater Building plan is the world's most ambitious
plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from existing buildings.
And it will help grow New York City's green economy. But it
won't mean anything unless it passes.

You can help make sure it does - just click here to write the
City Council today!
