Portland = Sustainability
Posted by: kmikeym | From: June 2, 2006
The BTA Blog points out that Portland is the U.S.'s leading city for sustainability, according to a new study by a San Francisco-based organization, SustainLane.Com.
Looking at 15 factors, from affordable housing to the ability to deal with dramatic changes such as surging energy prices or natural disasters, Portland outshined Seattle and San Francisco to top the group of 50 cities ranked.
The methodology for their rankings is interesting and there is a very positive article all about Portland's first place in sustainability. (Portland is listed as tied in the rankings for 1st, but Portland scored an 85.08 and Seattle only got an 81.82.)
we should start a band and write a song called "smells like compost" - it could be the new angst-anthem for the kids.
