What if I were to tell you that luxury buildings in Manhattan contribute around 50% of all carbon dioxide emissions in NYC, with buildings altogether contributing about 70%?
Countries like Italy have launched the construction of green buildings to cut down on greenhouse gas emissions. It is no secret that as the years go by, this city will tear down old buildings and replace them with new ones, and NYC should follow in those countries’ footsteps for construction of future buildings. In the meantime, we can introduce the idea of green buildings with more rooftop gardens and balconies.
