Good Green News

October 14, 2005 Lindsay

In this months Utne Reader there is an article about ten cities that are leaning green. In the US – the article talks about Portland, Los Angeles and PITTSBURGH!
SustainLane give Pittsburgh the number 1 spot for local food. Pittsburgh ranks #19 overall. I would say that is pretty good for a rusting steel town. Pittsburgh looses points for things like city innovation and a lack of a future plan – so there is still work to do.
A big round of applause for those people supporting farmers markets. The Utne reader reports that Pittbsurgh has 7 farmers markets and 188 community gardens (which is nearly 4 times as many gardens as Seattle has).
