At a rally on the day the City Council passed the Greener, Greater Buildings bills, Council Member Garodnick said, "Our local law and the realities of climate change demand that we lower our carbon emissions. Today, we tackled our biggest source of greenhouse gases head-on."

Council Member Garodnick authored one of the bills in the package, New York City's Green Energy Code.
