To reap the environmental, health and economic benefits of urban
trees, DEP and BPU launched Cool Cities to green New Jersey's large cities
through tree planting efforts that will help reduce the demand for electricity
and lower energy consumption. Cool Cities is funded by BPU's Clean Energy
Program. BPU has committed to $2 million in funding for the initial phase
of Cool Cities, planting 3,000 trees in Paterson and Trenton in 2003.
The planting of 1,500 trees in Trenton is underway.
