New York plans to drastically cut greenhouse gas emissions from public housing.

New York City's housing authority is the largest in the nation—it manages over 8 percent of rentals, and houses more than 400,000 people citywide.
This week, the agency announced that it would reduce carbon emissions from its buildings by a minimum of 30 percent over the next ten years.
These cuts are part of the New York City Carbon Challenge, a Bloomberg-era program for businesses, universities, and other institutions that was recently expanded by Mayor Bill de Blasio.
