Where You'll Find Green

Popular Science put together a list of America's Greenest Cities, based on survey data and stats in 30 categories that basically boil down to how well the city deals with electricity, transportation, "green living" and "recycling and green perspective."

I was happy to find Chicago in the top 10. It might seem surprising to people who are not familiar with the Windy City, but Mayor Daley is a green devotee. The U.S. Green Building Council is headquartered here, and some of our city buildings were some of the first to have green roofs.

Here's the top 10:

1. Portland, Ore.
2. San Francisco
3. Boston
4. Oakland, Calif.
5. Eugene, Ore.
6. Cambridge, Mass.
7. Berkeley, Calif.
8. Seattle
9. Chicago
10. Austin, Texas
