According to SustainLane's list of top 50 cities that provide for environmentally sustainable living, Portland, San Francisco, and Seattle are the places to be. Go West Coast! Oakland made the top 10 (woo-hoo! You go, my sort-of hometown) while Los Angeles dropped from 2006's ranking of 25th to 28th (doh!) leaving definite room for improvement. However, with rankings based on such components as air quality and city commuting, I'm not sure L.A. will be climbing closer to the top of the list anytime soon (sigh). Cleveland, Ohio, and Atlanta, Georgia, however, appear to have greatly improved their sustainability initiatives over the past two years, rising from 28th to 16th and 38th to 19th on the list, respectively.
