Not only have the efforts of government agencies like PlaNYC taken major steps to making the city a “greener and greater New York,” but companies such as IDT Energy are also doing their part to bring the ‘green’ back to town.
The plan proposes ten far-reaching goals that address a different part of New York’s environment. The end result being a 5% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, which is just the first step to reaching the goal of a 30% reduction by the year 2030. This initiative will create about 18,000 jobs over the next 10 years, and save New York about $7 billion.
Customers with IDT Energy can choose the ‘green’ option when they sign up, or at any time after. When they do, they can feel happy knowing that their electricity is coming completely from hydropower, which is a renewable resource.
New Yorkers, together with New York City, are setting the “Greatest City on Earth” onto the path of the future: of conserving resources and using renewable sources of energy whenever possible.
