Instead of Tossing it Back, 5,000 Indian Fishermen Now Collect Ocean Plastic to Build Roads and Prosperity
The fishermen were inspired to take action when they realized their "Mother Sea" was sick with ocean pollution.
According to a statement from the city, London will be transforming the way that their infrastructure consumes and sources their energy.
The City of London has announced that they will be sourcing 100% of their energy needs from renewable sources by October 2018.
According to a statement released by the "Square Mile's" ruling body, the city plans on implementing the shift by installing solar panels on all government-owned buildings; investing in off-site renewable energy projects; and buying clean energy from the grid.
The solar installations will reportedly stretch across social housing in 6 London boroughs, 11,000 acres of green space, and several markets and academies.
"This is a big step for the City Corporation and it demonstrates our commitment to making us a more socially and environmentally responsible business," said Catherine McGuinness, Chairman of the City of London Corporation's Policy and Resources Committee.
"By generating our own electricity and investing in renewables, we are doing our bit to help meet international and national energy targets."
