Michael Bloomberg, mayor of New York City, is well known for promoting public transportation, famously taking the subway to work every day. And now he’s using his position as head of the C40, a collection of 40 major cities across the globe, to help promote the idea of electric taxi cabs.
“Think of that–a million-plus autos, the most iconic vehicles in our downtowns, that we can start to work together to make more efficient and less polluting,” Bloomberg said at a recent C40 conference in Hong Kong. “We’ve seen, I think again and again, how national governments have struggled, both at home and at the international stage, to take climate change actions…Together, we have to fill the vacuum of leadership ourselves.”
