This is why NYU has taken the World Resources Institute Cool Food Pledge to reduce food-based emissions 25% by 2030. Huge progress in just our first two years! NYUGreen NYU Eats

This Ezra Klein stat from today's NYT on renewables land use seems to pretty badly misrepresent the study it cites, and the below thread from Cecil Scheib adds much needed context. Notably, the land "directly impacted" by wind turbines is *much, much* smaller than what's printed.

Love this FDNY fire truck specifically designed for tight spaces. Spotted at Feast of The Feast Of San Gennaro NYC because Mulberry Street is packed w/vendors & people end to end. I would love to see these stationed around city. Mayor Eric Adams & New York City Council can we have more of these please?

Erik Bottcher is exactly right. We have a sanitation crisis and we need #Trash off the sidewalk and into #CleanCurbs. Kudos to New York University Union Square, NYC for making this happen. Let’s expand this all over the city Mayor Eric Adams!

If containerized trash doesn't make you do jazz hands, you're not doing it right. What a couple of snazzy guys I got to stand with today! Erik Bottcher @EdJanoff

New Yorkers are tired of living with mountains of trash on the sidewalk. Yesterday I joined New York University and Union Square, NYC to unveil a containerized waste pilot on 15th Street, funded through the NYC Sanitation Clean Curbs pilot that we fought for.

"Let the youth lead" My first New York University TikTok! instagram.com/reel/Cj-o8ohgg…

This went way more viral on IG and TikTok with over 10,000 likes - on Twitter, just a few dozen likes, which says it all about where students are on SM. Still funny even on Twitter though.

This great impromptu teaser video for one of the coolest sustainability initiatives I've heard of in a while is taking off with thousands of likes in a week. very cute. and refreshing. instagram.com/reel/Cj-o8ohgg… Cecil Scheib New York University

"When you roll the dice, you could roll snake eyes five times in a row. And that could happen for hurricanes too." —NYU's Cecil Scheib on the misleading term "100-year flood" and the likelihood of another #Sandy: thecity.nyc/2022/10/27/234…

Only 3 podcasts are "must listen *every* week" for me, and FAQNYC is one of them. So happy to be part of THE CITY reporting on the 10yr Sandy anniversary and my work with Urban Green Council making buildings more resilient. thecity.nyc/2022/10/27/234…

On the tenth anniversary of Hurricane Sandy, NYU's chief sustainability officer Cecil Scheib breaks down the misleading term "100-year flood." Hint: it doesn't mean that a Sandy-like "superstorm" can only come every hundred years: thecity.nyc/2022/10/27/234… thecity.nyc/2022/10/27/234…

It's mind-blowing to me that we still don't really understand how _friction_ works. Glad to see that NYU Tandon students are figuring it out! Can't wait to learn the deets. azom.com/news.aspx?news…
