Uproar as New York Approves Crack Down on Wood-Fired Pizzerias, Forcing Them To Spend Big To Reduce Emissions
‘This is an egregious overstep of the state and local government,’ wrote one citizen in an official comment submitted to the city’s Department of Environmental Protection.
New York City has approved a highly controversial rule that requires establishments with coal or wood-fired built before 2016, such as pizzerias and matzah bakeries, to reduce their emissions by 75 percent. The regulation, which is to take effect on April 27, has elicited an uproar from the city’s pizzeria proprietors and pizza aficionados.
“Please STOP this nonsense ..!! These establishments that are using these types of ovens are a staple to NYC and are here for us, locals to enjoy and for all the tourists that are enjoying them tremendously,” Anda Salgau wrote in an online comment on the Department of Environmental Protection’s website.
