Our friends over at Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) shared with us their report that shows that just 1% of New York City's buildings, those burning the dirtiest grades of heating oil, are responsible for 87% of the city's heating oil soot pollution. Go ahead, check it out...
About 9,000 buildings, many in the city's wealthiest neighborhoods, use this unrefined sludge. The Flatiron Building (5th Avenue and 23rd St.) and The Dakota (Central Park West at 72nd St.) are among a number of iconic structures that burn it.
Switching to No. 2 heating oil or natural gas can cut soot pollution by 95% and saves lives.

but the problem is that most of us...we don't control our heating source...our landlords do... even if we can put in a good word they often ignore us.
Don't stop posting such stories. I love to read articles like this. BTW add some pics :)
Hi!
You may probably be very curious to know how one can manage to receive high yields on investments.
There is no initial capital needed.
You may begin earning with a sum that usually is spent
on daily food, that's 20-100 dollars.
I have been participating in one project for several years,
and I'll be glad to let you know my secrets at my blog.
Please visit blog and send me private message to get the info.
P.S. I make 1000-2000 per daily now.

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of troubles when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in big initial investment.
Nowadays, I'm happy and lucky , I begin to get real income.
It's all about how to choose a correct companion who utilizes your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real business, and shares the profit with me.
You may ask, if there are such firms? I have to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please be informed of one of them:
