Go Green East Harlem

[Marina Ortiz]

Mahattan Borough President Scott M. Stringer has initiated an ambitious plan to improve the health and environment in East Harlem. What are your thoughts in the items that should be improved?

Although I don't believe in the Global Warming myth, I would like to see more soil, plants and tree and less cement in our living environment. All the new trees in East Harlem are wonderful. They look great and turn what we breath out into what we breath in. I think more treesand green (meaning living organism) spaces would have a great effect on the mind..

I would also like to see more solar panels to stave off the high cost of Con Ed. So more people need to buy solar panels so as to lower the price and allow even more to purchase and save money.

The best reason to go Green is to save money. Thanks.
