It’s Not Easy Being Green
An article published today in the Detroit Free Press says that Mayor Daley’s promises of greening up the city have not gone quite to plan:
But five years after Daley pledged to buy one-fifth of the city’s electricity from renewable sources by the end of 2006, Chicago’s energy mix isn’t so green. Nearly all of the megawatts powering City Hall and other government buildings still are coming from nuclear and coal plants.
Whoops! Did I say 1/5th? I meant, 1/5th of 1%
Anywho, at least they are getting rid of the blue bag program, which I thought was ridiculous from the first time I heard it, and instating a new drop off and bin program for many parts of the city. It’s not Shangra-La yet, but it’s getting better.
