#OneNYC is an ambitious plan that former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg hoped would make NYC "the first environmentally sustainable 21st-century city." It is a 132-item program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve mass transit, plant trees, clean up polluted land and rivers, and enhance access to parkland. As of 2015, #OneNYC's accomplishments included the completion of over 100 energy efficiency projects in city buildings; the planting of 950,000 trees; the opening or renovation of 234 school playgrounds; the establishment of 129 community gardens; upgraded wastewater treatment facilities; acquisition of 36,000 acres upstate to protect New York City's water supplies; installation of bike lanes and bike racks and the launch of a bike-sharing program; the retrofitting of ferries to reduce pollution; the conversion of hundreds of taxis to hybrid vehicles; and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 19%.
