Gray to Unveil D.C. Sustainability Plan

The Washington Post (4/24) reports, "The District could add 250,000 residents over the next two decades under a new vision for the city that Mayor Vincent C. Gray will unveil Tuesday, which includes vast long-term changes for how residents travel, eat and enjoy the outdoors." By 2032, almost "everyone would get around by foot, bicycle, new streetcar lines, bus or Metro. Homes and apartment buildings would feature compost piles and adhere to more aggressive recycling standards." In addition, buildings will be greener, and there would be less consumption of fossil fuels.
