A note from the North Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce’s Environmental Initiatives Committee:
For many years the NYC IBO has proposed ways NYC can save money. Some ideas are practical, others are complete non-starters, but many of them are interesting, even if – for one or many reasons – they don’t get enacted.
This year, IBO pulled its environmental suggestions and circulated them separately. We think they are worth a look.
As always, the Environmental Initiatives Committee would like to hear from you. Contact us at eic@northbrooklynchamber.
