Recently Forbes magazine released its rankings of America's Greenest Cities. The usual suspects topped the list; Oregon, Washington, Vermont. In a ranking which was determined by weighting six categories equally (carbon footprint, air quality, water quality, hazardous waste management, policy initiatives and energy consumption) Ohio came in 39th. 39th out of 50. Below Texas. I am aghast. I would really love to see not only the culmulative rankings of what areas we did especially poor in but also what data was collected for this study. Not in an attempt to belabor the rankings either, just to see how the local society percieves itself, foibles and accomplishments. I just found it interesting. America's Greenest Cities, don't worry, Cleveland isn't on there at all. Labels: Environmental # posted by Dru McKeown @ 6:57 PM Comments: Post a Comment << Home
