Cambridge Mayor Denise Simmons, therefore, brought together nearly 100 activists and concerned citizens under the endorsement of the city council to convene a "Climate Congress" to make recommendations on how Cambridge can meet its green goals. the Congress proposed a number of new regulations and restrictions, including the following: * Encouraging building owners to turn off the heat or cooling in the spring and fall * Rating rental units, allowing greener apartments to rent for more * Street signs posting residents' yearly energy bills, so more efficient homeowners can publicly boast of their savings * New mandates for efficiency in building codes on individual units and developments * Reducing or eliminating curbside parking to compel people to walk or bicycle * Banning cars from shopping centers * Zoning ordinances protecting trees from being cut down, whether on public or private property * Mandates requiring grocers to carry locally grown or produced food options * "Environmental disincentives" against eating meat * Mandating restaurants and schools have "Meatless or Vegan Mondays" * Banning meat from meals provided to the City Council and limiting the amounts of dairy served. What do you think of this? I am appalled. That would be a good reason to move! Here is the rest of the story - http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=125042
