Making NYC more sustainable and more resilient We can be proud of NYC’s record as one the greenest large cities in the US.  For years, we’ve been describing green practices as making our communities more sustainable.  That’s good, but a little vague – leaving us to guess about exactly which existential threat is being implied – and how much the green practice in question will help, let alone ensure our civilization is still around in 10 or 100 or 10,000 years.  Then came Hurricane Sandy. The s …
