I took a rare walk to the northmost neighborhood of Brooklyn NYC, Greenpoint. While I was there, I went to the Newtown Creek Nature Walk with a friend. There was not too much nature (to be fair, it was early March), but I did photograph a bright orange ocean fender and a NYC Department of Environmental Protection boat named the H.S.V. Piping Plover.

On a tour of #NewtownCreek, tour leader #MitchWaxman said there was an electric vehicle manufactured in #LIC, but I can't find support on the internet. However, I have found that in 1899 90% of the taxi cabs in NYC were electric. And this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUItSK-ez8E

@alec @THECITY About those digester eggs. A year ago I found this same link. https://www.wm.com/NYCMA/WMCORe%20varick-factsheet%20073114.pdf
which describes the use of the Newtown Creek Dignester eggs and organics collection as a pilot of Waste Management. #DSNY is slow walking this like you wouldn't believe. Ask #NewtownCreekAlliance how long that facility has been flaring gas and talking about actually providing it to #NationalGrid customers. At least 4 years.
