Environmentally Friendly Communities

Environmentally Friendly Communities

There are a lot of methods to set a city's Eco-friendly ranking, yet no individual standard is a full measurement of a region's environmental dedication. If you compare a city's performance in curbing air pollution, using renewable power or building sustainable buildings, you will discover that no single city ranks at the top of each. As a consequence, the best approach to evaluating the most Eco-friendly U.S. cities is to see which cities rate most highly in a few central green measurements.



According to the Urban Land Institute, the San Francisco metropolitan area has the least greenhouse gas pollution for each person of any big municipality in the U.S., with New York and Philadelphia coming in 2nd and 3rd.

These communities share 3 crucial features: an elevated density of population, an effective transit system and expanded warm-weather temperature seasons. By cutting back the urban sprawl common in a lot of non-coastal regions, these 3 cities supply centralized services without the need for undue car traffic and prevent the overuse of coal-fired electric power.

The U.S. EPA Green Power Partnership program suggests renewable power use, and brings out regular reports detailing which cities have bought the biggest amount of green power instead of fossil fuel generated energy.
