This week we asked readers their thoughts on climate change and New York City’s plan to build eco-friendlier buildings.

I think it’s great for the city, bad for the tenants because you know the more they fix, the more we pay. But in the long run, 10 or 20 years from now, our children will be able to appreciate it. Eventually, we will be paying Con Edison less, but not anytime soon. Lynette Knight, Highbridge 

 

 

 

I think this is the best idea ever. I think the government can pay for it, but it will save money for all of us in the long run. It will be better for the children living in a world with clean air and water and maybe the weather won’t be so erratic. Altagracia Cohen, Tremont

 

 

 

I think it will help the earth a lot to stay cleaner and more people can live in the new buildings. It will also help the flowers, plants and other life. Eventually, it will pay for itself. Natalie Gonzalez, Norwood 

 

 

 

 

Well I agree with that, but not lights dimming. I don’t think that’s an area you should be shaving money. It should be bright all the time, otherwise some homeboy jumps out of a dark corner and mugs you as you go in your apartment. Jerome Campbell, Woodlawn

 

 

 

 Yes, I do support that, New York City is a mess. They should make an area to put little gardens where buildings store the garbage. Everything is contaminated and people throw garbage everywhere. The pollution is crazy here. Dolores  Encarnacion, Concourse
