100 NYC Eateries Sign on to Cut Down on Garbage
Some of New York City’s best-known restaurants are pledging to slash their trash.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced Thursday that more 100 eateries have agreed to use composting and other techniques to cut down their landfilled food waste by 50 percent.
