Metro could get money

[NewsWhore]

Ubaldo Elizondo, representing the Latin American Carbon Program (PLAC), said the Santo Domingo Metro could receive upwards of EUR800,000 as part of the Clean Development Mechanism Program (MDL). Elizondo says that the Metro has taken the first steps towards entering the MDL, but that before the project can receive any money its builders will need to prove that the Metro was developed with reduced pollution levels. Although the funds are minimal compared to the cost of the mega-project, the money could be used to help maintain the system or to launch a "green" campaign that promotes reduced use of pollutants.
