Michael Bloomberg praise for Bordo Poniente Landfill Closing Helps "Green" Mexico City

"Cities are on the frontlines in dealing with the impacts of global climate change, and they are leading by example in reducing greenhouse gas emissions," said New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg.  "The Bordo Poniente project is a bold step that serves as a shining example of the impact C40 and the Clinton Climate Initiative can have in supporting cities' efforts to green their environments and their economies.  Through actions such as this, we can implement solutions on a local level that will truly make a difference globally."

    Bloomberg world's leading Green

    Bloomberg led Independents and Greens could quickly become America's third major Party.

    On building rail infrastructure, renewable energy, solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, Michael Bloomberg is America's defacto leading Green.  A Bloomberg led Independent Green Party could elect many to the U.S. House and U.S. Senate in 2012 and create America's third major Party.  See Michael Bloomberg's interview with MSNBC's Andrea Mitchel here.  http://www.mikebloomberg.com/

    Bloomberg for Greener New York

    Bloomberg works for Greener New York


    Buildings dominate New York City's carbon footprint. Approximately 75 percent of New York City's carbon emissions stem from energy used in buildings, and today's existing buildings will make up 85 percent of all real estate in 2030.

    Therefore, increasing the energy efficiency of the city's existing buildings has been, and will continue to be, a central PlaNYC focus. Indeed, the full effects of the City's energy efficiency efforts launched to date are expected to reduce annual citywide greenhouse gas emissions by 4.5 million metric tons of CO2e by 2030, which is equivalent to nearly 7.5 percent of citywide 2005 baseline emissions. To address the critical area of energy use in existing buildings, the City has enacted a set of efficiency requirements for existing private and public sector buildings. In December 2009, Mayor Bloomberg signed the four legislative components of the Greener, Greater Buildings Plan, the most comprehensive set of efficiency laws in the nation. Together these laws remove a loophole in the energy code to ensure that it applies to all construction projects, require annual energy efficiency benchmarking that will be disclosed to the public, and mandate a set of cost-effective energy efficiency upgrades and evaluations of the city's largest buildings, both public and private.

    Bloomberg on rail, and green infrastructure

    Bloomberg and Green Party for rail: U.S. Must Modernize Its Infrastructure, Invest In High-Speed
    Rail
     

    With GDP languishing and job-creation rates well below what’s needed to put the economy back on track, the key to recovery lies with American infrastructure, says a green post partisan group headed by Michael Bloomberg and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

    U.S. infrastructure, far from being the best in the world, is due for an overhaul, says the Building America’s Future Educational Fund, a Green coalition that Bloomberg, the mayor of New York, and Schwarzenegger, the former governor of California, co-chair with former Pennsylvania governor Ed Rendell. If the country’s infrastructure isn’t modernized, they say, the U.S. will lose its competitive edge.

    “If we are going to maintain our economic dominance, we have to get on the stick and get on it fast,” Rendell said earlier this week.

    On Monday, the BAF Fund released a report calling upon policymakers to invest $200 billion a year in rail infrastructure for the next 10 years, a plan it says could create nearly 5 million jobs over the next decade.

    Bloomberg showing Green Party positive green governing example

    New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's Top 10 Clean Energy Initiatives

    By Shawn Lesser
    Monday, August 15th, 2011

    Text:  

    Michael Bloomberg has been the Mayor of New York City since January of 2002. One of the biggest domestic issues that Mayor Bloomberg has been dealing with is New York’s role in preserving the environment, building rail, and renewable energy. Aside from motivating his own city, Mayor Bloomberg has been instrumental leading C-40 cities around the world and  motivating a number of other large cities to make changes. For the Green Party, Bloomberg leads with deeds.

    1) Extension of Compliance Deadline for Energy Benchmark Laws. Recently, Mayor Bloomberg created a new energy benchmark law whereby commercial and residential buildings that take up more than 50,000 square feet need to benchmark their total water and energy consumption. This is in an effort to see how much is used and how water consumption can be decreased and how buildings can become more energy efficient. There are penalties associated with the law if these buildings do not comply with these laws.

    Bloomberg gives $30 million to help minorites

    Bloomberg to spend millions of his money to help black, Latino males

    New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg on Thursday announced the launch of a major policy initiative to aid the city's minority youth.

    And he's footing a good chunk of the bill himself.

    "We believe it is one of the most ambitious and comprehensive attacks on racial disparity ... that any city has ever undertaken," Bloomberg said Thursday.

    The mayor will contribute $30 million from his personal philanthropic foundation to the effort, which is a public-private partnership. Another $30 million will come from billionaire hedge funder George Soros' Open Society Foundations.

    Bloomberg in São Paulo: A Glimpse of a Green Party Mayor/President



    Bloomberg in São Paulo: A Glimpse of the potential for America's Green Party Mayor/President

    When it comes to sustainable transportation, Michael Bloomberg is saving his strongest words for an international audience. While the mayor’s rhetoric on transportation now tends to focus on safety, when transportation is on his agenda at all, at a meeting of the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group in São Paulo Bloomberg brought back some of his 2007-vintage language.

    Said the mayor in his speech:

    “The intense burning of fossil fuels in the world’s cities – where 70 percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions are produced – not only contributes to climate change, it also clogs the streets, pollutes the air, and shortens the lives of their millions of residents. How we as mayors respond to these challenges will strongly determine the fate of the entire world, now and for decades to come.”

    Bloomberg, the current chair of the C40 project, was there to announce the release of two studies and a new partnership between the coalition of big-city mayors and the World Bank.

    The first study created a shared greenhouse gas reporting system for the C40 cities, allowing high-quality comparisons for the first time. The 42 C40 cities that participated were responsible for 1.2 billion metric tons of CO2 equivalent emissions, it found, roughly equivalent to the emissions of Japan.

    Numbers like that fed into what at times seemed to be a bit of urban policy triumphalism on the part of the mayors. “Because of our shared experiences in leading the world’s great cities, and because, more than anyone else, we grasp the urgency of the challenges we now face, no one can do more to produce good outcomes for the world than we, the mayors of great cities, can,” said Bloomberg.

    Bloomberg leads Mayors in climate deal with World Bank


    Michael Bloomberg Greens leader

     Leaders of the C40 Mayors Summit on climate change said Wednesday the group had reached a financing agreement with the World Bank to help the world's major cities better adapt to climate change

    "The partnership with the World Bank creates opportunities for financial support," said New York city Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

    "If we don't stop polluting our world right now, and continuing to spill greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, the consequences may be very well irreversible," Bloomberg said.

    The 40 major cities whose mayors are attending the Sao Paulo conference -- including New York, Jakarta, Mexico City, Berlin, Barcelona, Rio de Janeiro and Paris -- are responsible for 12 percent of global greenhouse emissions.

    Bloomberg, and Green Parties worldwide, call for Ai Weiwei release

    While the prominent artist Ai Weiwei is currently detained in China, in New York City his artwork is drawing attention to his plight.

    On Tuesday at the Pulitzer Fountain in Manhattan, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said it was a bittersweet honor celebrating the opening of Ai’s sculpture exhibition—given that the artist is detained by authorities in China and his whereabouts are unknown.

    [Michael Bloomberg, New York Mayor]:
    “Today we stand in solidarity with the millions of people around the world who hope that Ai Weiwei is quickly and safely released. And we stand in solidarity with the billions of people who do not have the most fundamental of human rights, the most cherished of all American values, and the most valuable of all New York’s riches, and that is free expression.”

    Ai lived in New York for more than a decade, and studied at Parsons School of Design.
