Seattle Named Greenest City


In a survey done by Tufts University and Corporate Knights ("The Company for Clean Capitalism"), Seattle has tied for the #1 Greenest City along with San Francisco and Portland. Researchers looked at the programs and policies in place to promote sustainability.

I'd be surprised if Seattle wasn't #1 on this list! I've never lived anywhere that promoted more recycling, shared transportation and sustainable living practices. Gotta love it!
