PlanPhilly reports on a study released by the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) this month. The study concluded that Philadelphia’s carbon emissions dropped by 13% between 2005 and 2010.

The main reason for the drop? The metro region’s “fuel mix changed, with a drop in market share for coal, and an increase for natural gas,” writes Jon Geeting.
