Green Cities - Fit for Life

[ 03:18 ]

Nowadays, four out of five Europeans live in cities and they have a right to live in healthy urban areas. Cities should therefore strive to improve the quality of life of their citizens and reduce their impact on the global environment. The European Green Capital Award encourages them to do so and encourages other cities to follow suit. For more content from this Branded Channel, check out Babelgum’s Green TV

New in New York Ep 10:eCycling
In New York City, it's very common to see old computers, monitors, keyboards, television sets, phones, and other discarded electronic equipment on the sidewalks. As the world becomes more and more aware of the importance of taking care of our planet, so too must we become aware of the dangers of dumping this kind of refuse into landfills. Old electronics should be recycled carefully and properly disposed of. Which is why it's great to see New Yorkers becoming more aware of the importance of eCycling, or recycling electronic goods. More and more often, organizations like the Mac Store in Brooklyn and eRevival are putting ecycling events together. This month, The Resident from http://www.theresident.net went to check out one of those in her native Brooklyn. Check it out!
