New York's famous yellow taxis are going green, as mayor Michael Bloomberg wants to convert all the city's public hire cars to hybrid engines by 2012.
At the moment, only 375 out of 13,000 New York cabs run hybrid engines, but it's planned to increase that number by 20% every year until all cabs are converted.
The New York mayor's office reckons that this move will cut the city's CO2 emissions by 200,000 tons a year.
