Popular Science published their list of America’s 50 Greenest Cities which bases the findings on raw data from the U.S. Census Bureau and the National Geographic Society’s Green Guide. The stats are compiled into four categories (electricity, transportation, green living and recycling/green perspective) and the combine score determined the final ranking.
The top cities on the list are:
Portland, Oregon – A quarter of the workforce commutes by bike, carpool or public transportation. Couple that with the fact half of Portlan’s power is from renewable resources lands Portland the top spot.
San Francisco, California – San Francisco earns the number 2 spot by turning roof space into solar power.
Boston, Massachusetts – Boston’s transportation system puts Boston in the number 3 spot. The T is the busiest light-rail system in America.
