Meanwhile, NYC / NJ has ZERO fully-functional shore power systems for ships. Suck it up, New Yorkers! #asthma #cancer #health #climate #SOx #NOx #CO2 PM2.5 #Soot #PrematureDeath @NYCEDC @PANYNJ @NYCMayor @GovKathyHochul @NYCComptroller #IdleFreeNYCShips...
"If you want to reduce emissions at ports, getting rid of the need to run onboard diesel engines is the easiest place to start". Couldn't agree more! (and we've been saying this for a while) #ZeroEmissions #GreenPorts #Ships #Diesel #BunkerFuel #IdleFreeNYCships #climate #health
FACT: ONE cruise ship, idling for a single 10hr port visit creates greenhouse gasses = the *yearly* emissions from FIVE houses. #ShorePower #PlugThemIn #Diesel #Climate #Health #IdleFreeNYCShips x.com/ViewFromTheHook/status/1...
.@MHPshow The use of #shorepower eliminates SOx, NOx, CO2 and PM (soot) from ships' air emissions. #asthma #cancer #IdleFreeNYCShips

Asthma rates in Red Hook up sharply. #bkshorepower #idlefreenycships "@NYCEDC: Cruise Passenger $$ in City Up Sharply http://nyti.ms/fACJCp"
Wouldn't it be great if the 3 Queens could kick their smoking habit while docked at NYC terminals? @nycedc? #idlefreenycships #nycruise
