Have you seen this yet? It’s a list of the 10 Greenest American Cities for 2007. You may think that people often leave cities to live more sustainable lives, but statistics show cities are still growing by leaps and bounds. Fortunately, developers, planners, grass-roots groups, and citizens are all working out ways to make it easier to live urban and be green. The cities chosen were based on factors such as ease of public transportation; park space; energy efficiency strategies; water and waste management; recycling; and future building code revamps, among many, many others.
Some of the cities are obvious, but some may surprise you! There are a couple of other articles I’ll highlight in this series this week, but take a look and feel proud if you’re on the list!
