by David Allen on Wednesday, July 18th, 2007

This is a great resource for finding out not only about your city, but other cities too. Imagine that you are going away for a holiday or even a job offer etc. And so if you are into being green then before you set off you can check it out and see how green the city is.

Standards used to measure green:

Public transit
Air and tap water quality
Planning/land use
City innovation
Affordability
Energy/climate
Local food/agriculture
Green economy
Sustainability management

The standards above are just a few of the 15 used to measure the green status of the city.

So what the best green city according to the standards used, Portland, Oregon, with a high quality of life and a commitment to green building. And the bottom of the list? Well its Columbus, Ohio, mainly due to the high dependence on vehicles.
