AS Environmental Committee Chairman and treasurer of a 60 M building, My coop has engaged a firm that installs solar systems (polyvoltaic and heat transfer) as well as a firm that does hydroponic greenhouses. We want to add all this to the roof, to promote sustainability as well as rainwater recapture. We have already switched to CFC lighting in the halls, which cut our electric bills by 2K month. WE signed up for hydro electric and nuclear only power from CONED. We recycle as best possible. We use public transportation. We switched to non toxic paint. Its only January, so we have a long way to go.
