New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said he intends to use his final year in office to push for more recycling and electric vehicles, a curbside food-composting pilot program and a ban on plastic-foam food packaging.

In his final State of the City address today, the third-term mayor characterized his 11 years in office as a period in which he made the most-populous U.S. city healthier and more environmentally friendly.
