Portland, OR bike path

In honor of Earth day 2015, the City View television show explores the country’s most environmentally-friendly cities.

We have been celebrating and participating in Earth day activities for 45 years. Some Americans practice Eco-friendly habits every day from using coffee grinds in the garden to recycling every possible thing in the house. Home builders who are committed to improving the world we live in design and construct environmentally-friendly homes. In addition, there are some U.S. cities which take taking care of its own environment more seriously than others.

Portland, Oregon is the number one U.S. city for sustainability. It is the most bikeable city in the country with more than 200 miles of dedicated bike lanes. With forward-thinking like this, city planners found a healthy and clean way for people to get around the city without a vehicle and without the emissions.

San Francisco, California is second as it was the first U.S. city to ban plastic grocery bags and the also the first to adopt solar power. It also has a innovative recycling program with and artist who teaches residents how to conserve and reuse what they have.

Boston, Massachusetts comes is third in sustainability practices. The city started a program to become more “green” by replacing traditional taxi cabs with hybrid ones, use more solar panels, and recycle trash to power homes.

These top three U.S. Eco-friendly cities are followed by others which have established environmentally-friendly protocols. The City View television show applauds their efforts to improve air and water quality, provide progressive recycling programs, use more solar energy, save as much greenspace in the city as possible, and myriad of other Eco-smart ideas and plans.
