这个针对纽约漫长520英里海滨线的构想，有三个规划层次：首先是就近利用全纽约市的交通基础设施优势：卡车，驳船，铁路都能运输；其次每个行政区负责自己本辖区的堆肥垃圾，而不是全市统一调配；最后，纽约需要更多的开放空间，这些绿环将于海滨路和自行车道结合，最终把海岸线区域变成一个绿色循环体系。堆肥一般来讲占居民垃圾的30%，把这些有机废物放置在125英亩的公园用地上，可以减少垃圾远程运输的费用以及污染。而纽约则得到了更安全和更健康的环境以及额外的营养丰富的堆肥。目前纽约已经在实现路边堆肥计划，这意味着堆肥将变成一个现实，而长远的未来，绿环实现也是可能的。共创美好纽约！

THE PLAN: A GREEN NETWORK

Locating  a  network  of  Green  Loops  along  New York City’s   520 miles of waterfront addresses three important planning issues. First, it takes advantage of the City’s existing transportation infrastructure. Trucks deliver waste a short distance to a borough composting hub, with barges and rail transporting finished compost product away. Next, having a composting hub in each borough addresses “borough equity” in our waste management. “Borough Equity” ensures that every borough is responsible for processing its own waste instead of sending the entire city’s trash to one or two over-burdened boroughs. Lastly, location. NYC needs more open space, and as part of its Vision 2020: Comprehensive Waterfront Plan, it’s steadily improving public access and developing the waterfront with parks, esplanades and bike paths. A network of Green Loops links into our developing shoreline.

THE FUTURE: LET’S THINK BIG

This proposal will create a network of composting parks processing our organic waste (30% of our residential waste stream), while adding 125 acres of public park land. This means drastically reduced truck miles to landfills, decreased traffic, noise, and pollution, with the added benefits of safer streets, cleaner air, and fewer greenhouse gas emissions. Plus a new type of public park and a product for market – nutrient rich compost made in NYC.New York City is already piloting a curbside composting program, so composting will soon be a reality. The Green Loop will take this reality many steps into the future for a better NYC for everyone.
