Portland named "Greenest City!"
Friday, February 22, 2008
Popular Science announced this February that Portland, Oregon scored the highest and has been named the U.S.'s "Greenest City!" We were recognized for having it all! Did you know half our power comes from renewable sources? A quarter of commuters travel by bike, carpool or transportation. Portland also has 35 buildings certified by the U.S. Green Building Council. For more information about building green check out our blog on local Green-building tips. Portland was also ranked #2 by MSN in 2007 right behind Philadelphia.
(Eugene was ranked number 5th... go Oregon!)
