Despite currently being America's most polluted city, Los Angeles is looking to become the country's most environmentally-friendly, according to Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.

During the C40 Large Cities Climate Summit, being held in New York this May, Villaraigosa discussed his plan to cut the city's emissions by 35 percent by 2030. As part of this plan, the L.A. mayor says he wants to change the way residents commute.

To do so, Los Angeles will offer residents various incentives to commuters who use mass transportation. The plan also entails the distribution of 50,000 energy-efficient refrigerators to low-income residents.
