The
use of fossil fuels and nuclear energy, as well as both passive,

The Streets Department should consider
the following: 1) engineering
alternatives to conventional asphalt roads which are difficult to properly
maintain. (See SmallStreetsPhilly.org),

waste, and 3) "recycling" warehouses for items that can be
repaired, sold, or given away to individuals, businesses, or
charities, such as clothes, furniture, and other household
items, 4) add another crew member to trash collection so
that they can clean up after themselves and not leave a big
mess, and lastly, 5) Get rid of the Big Belly's that stink,
jam, break down and over all disgusting!
