Former industrial sites become parkland in the worst economic downturn in a century
Philadelphia is turning former industrial docks along the Deleware into parkland in a 7 mile stretch of the central Deleware in center city. Look up PennPraxis for details of this and many other initiatives going on in Philadelphia to make it the Greenest City in America.
This and many other programs are taking place in a poor city during the worst economic downturn in a century. I think the NRDC needs to re-evaluate how they rated America's major cities.
On the otherhand, don't bother, we Philadelphians will just prove NRDC wrong. Stay tuned.
All I hope for is a world in which a wind turbine spins on top of every skyscraper, cars run on bio-fuels and we send the Saudi's a thanks but no thanks note. A planet where everybody recycles as normally as they brush their teeth, a planet where we eat what we grow locally and...All I hope for is a world in which a wind turbine spins on top of every skyscraper, cars run on bio-fuels and we send the Saudi's a thanks but no thanks note. A planet where everybody recycles as normally as they brush their teeth, a planet where we eat what we grow locally and get smart about producing our engergy.
