New York City's recently-approved "Green New Deal" (not to be confused with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's environmental wish-list) will slash the amount of red meat served in municipally-run facilities by half in order to combat 'climate change' [read: geo-engineering!], according to Breitbart's Josh Caplan.
Excuse me, but isn't capitalism all about consumer choice, supply and demand?
The $14 billion "Green New Deal" will phase out purchases of processed meats in city-run schools, hospitals and correctional facilities by 2040, amid an overall cut in purchases of 50 percent. New York would be the first city in the world to adopt such a policy, and was announced after New York Schools adopted "Meatless Monday" in an effort to encourage the consumption of less meat.
De Blasio (D) said on Monday during the Green New Deal announcement on Monday that he also plans to introduce a bill banning the construction of glass skyscrapers in an effort to reduce citywide greenhouse emissions by 30%.
"We are going to ban the classic glass and steel skyscrapers, which are incredibly inefficient," said the Mayor on MSNBC's 'Morning Joe' Monday morning.
As part of the Green New Deal, New York will power all of the city's operations with energy generated from clean sources, such as Canadian hydropower. The city is also rolling out the mandatory recycling of organics, congestion traffic pricing, and phasing out city-wide purchases of single-use plastic utensils.
The so-called "Green New Deal" - or Climate Mobilization Act, was passed last Thursday in a 45-2 vote.
