According to Popsci.com they have determined America’s 50 Greenest Cities, and guess what, Stumptown came in at the very top. The deciding factors were based on four categories: Electricity, Transportation, Green Living, & Recycling & Green Perspective.

Portland came out with a total of 23.1 points out of 30 possible points. This is the highest in the country. We showed that most of our power is coming from renewable resources, our biking community, our wonderful public transportation (Thank you Max & Street Car), and we have a total of 35 certified Green Buildings. This proves that our city has really embraced a green lifestyle and is making a change.
