This new rule is a prime example of the government slowly chipping away at our individual freedoms under some kind of doomsday guise. The moral of the story is, if you ever feel stupid, just know that New York City tried to ban the most delicious pizza.
American Thinker "There are many things on this Earth are said to be contributing to global warming; cars, planes, plastic, and apparently pizza. New York City has ordered pizzerias that use coal and wood fired ovens to crack down their carbon emissions by 75%. Wood and coal fired stoves are apparently one of the largest contributors to air pollution and that this is just a “common sense rule” according to NYC Department of Environmental Protection spokesman, Ted Timbers.
"This regulation will require pizzeria owners to buy expensive emission control devices, with one Brooklyn owner already paying $20,000 for an air filter. About 100 restaurants will be affected by this new rule. These restaurants have to hire engineers or architects so that they can determine whether or not they can actually install these controlled emission devices. If the restaurant cannot bring 75% of their carbon emissions down, they either need to bring it down by 25% through practice or provide a reason as to why they cannot install emission controls." . . .
