For his Sunday, April 25, 2010 weekly radio address, New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg promoted the value of “creating a greener, greater New York” by planting a million trees. The Mayor admitted that so far, the City has only planted one-third of that number, but that’s still an impressive achievement. So is his record of creating new parks and bikeways. Less impressive is his recent decision to support the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s decision to cut 250 bus runs, including shutting down some lines entirely. That’s not green at all.
