Manifesto for Green Apple (tentative)
One of old modern cities around the world, New York City is old enough to give its crown to other cities. New York City becomes a necropolis for decades. The city is full of rats, dirty, especially not in an expensive residential area. The streets were designed a hundred years ago and rarely improved by cities. At that time there were no concepts of disabled-friendly or Eco-friendly street. All streets are even hard to walk through for all people.
All ideas and technologies are already out there and cities in other developed countries have applied those devices and systems in real streets such as separated disposal bins, solar panel for signal lights, slides for wheelchair, pavements for blind people, and auditory guidance for blind.
There are lots of things already out there. Why not in New York City. Make the big apple the big green apple not a rotten apple.
This movement starts from ITP, interactive telecommunications program, at New York University, located in Broadway and Waverly, 4th floor. The meaningful technologies about to come out of the department. Green clothes will be pulled out by people, human, and citizen whoever want to participate in this movement. The clothes will be wound around the core. The origin of universe. Big Bang. The core has everything. Every ideas and technologies which change and improve our environment lovely.
Explosion, the core explodes to every direction as it covers and winds the objects which need touch to be a lovely street or the things already fit to lovely street. The start of change is simple. We can do it without finding new fancy one. Use existing things first.
(origin of the Green Apple)
After the explosion the cylinder, the origin of the Big Bang, will be an arouser which give people an information about lovely street. It could contain how devices and systems work . It could display environmental indexes. It could be a meeting point and get an meaningful stories while waiting. An indicator of estimated level of sea caused by global warming.

Altitude of NYC is only 1m which means all of the city could be under the sea by global warming.
