REMEMBER, ONLY A COAL-FIRED PIZZA BAN CAN PREVENT FOREST FIRES

The New York Post

“Everyone likes pizza! You see that pie in front of you, you start to get happy,” said New York Mayor Adams, responding to a Post report on the city’s responding to Canadian forest fire smoke with a green crackdown on pizzerias.

“But let’s be clear, every toxic entity that we remove from our air is adding up to the overall desire to deal with shrinking our carbon footprint,”

The city Department of Environmental Protection drafted new rules ordering eateries that use the decades old coal-and-wood-fired ovens to pay tens of thousands in dough to slice carbon emissions by up to 75%.

On Monday morning, fed-up Staten Island resident, artist and activist Scott Lobaido threw 48 slices of pizza  (8 pies) over the City Hall fence to make his point against the latest NYC rules to crack down on coal, which would severely affect wood-fired pizzerias. He likened his action to to the Boston Tea Party.

“Give me pizza or give me death! This is New York!  New York is nothing without pizza.”
