The problem, I see a lot of trucks are going by here - but did you know that in some cities
diesel emissions are 5 times more dangerous than in other parts of the country as well,
and we want to eliminate that. So, we have money to address that.
There were more than 300 million dollars to address diesel emission reductions.
So, the environment is global, it concerns the earth, and where we live, but in reality, it is a
local issue. It comes down to how safe and clean your neighborhood is. But in any
community, as I said, the heart of the environment is where you live.
So in that regard, I am very happy to announce that Make the Road New York, a non-profit
organization dedicated to economic justice, equity and opportunity for all New Yorkers
has been awarded $20,000. I want to present, it’s for $20,000, to Make the Road New York.
Again, it’s a small token of how we should be working together to make your lives and your
quality of life better. Thank you very much Mr. George Pavlou, not just for your Spanish
that is good, but also for the check. It is a great help for our organization to fight against the
pollution, to fight against problems like asthma, and so, Muchas Gracias, Señor Pavlou,
no solamente por su español, el cual es bueno. Sino también por esa cheque el cual
significa una gran ayuda para nuestra organización para combatir no solamente la
contaminación de Bushwick, sino también problemas como el asma.
