Top Green Cities
Posted by Jordan Crouch on January 8, 2008
Earthlab Foundation ranks the top cities in the United States by their “Green-ness”. Below is the ranking, notice two Pacific Northwest cities made the top ten list. The ranking is based on residential households not commercial real estate. The commercial industry usually follows residential in trends. We are already seeing Green development in commercial real estate (especially in the cities below) and I would expect it to become even more prominent.
