Portland, one of the top five greenest cities in the nation...
Sierra Club named Portland among the top five greenest cities in the country. Makes us proud to live here! Here’s the blurb from Sierra Club:
PORTLAND, OREGON population 533,492
Dense development makes Portland walkable and green.
Portland has protected surrounding farms and open space by fitting new developments onto half the usual land area, making it a smart-growth pioneer--and one of the most livable places in the country. The first major city to tackle global warming, Portland creates less greenhouse gases than it did 15 years ago, while saving $2 million annually on city energy bills--and attracting new business with its efficiency expertise. Its green-building standards are the toughest in the nation.
