Top Green Cities in The USA

If you are looking for the top green cities in the United States, you are in the right place. Although there are many ways to measure the greenness of one city over another, here we have compiled an updated list of cities that have taken measures to ban the plastic bag or implement plastic bag fees. In addressing the plastic bag problem, these cities have shown their commitment to a greener tomorrow by:

    • Reducing litter
    • Protecting wildlife and marine life
    • Protecting our food supply
    • Reducing their carbon footprint
  • Protecting our waterways
  • Protecting our non-renewable resources

We Thank These Top Green Cities for Helping Us in the Pursuit of a Better & Greener Planet!
