San Franciso was named the greenest city in North America in a study of 27 major metropolitan areas in the U.S. and Canada. Conducted by the Economist Intelligence Unit and commissioned by Siemens, the U.S. and Canada Green City Index compared cities on environmental performance and policies in nine categories: carbon dioxide emissions, energy, land use, buildings, transportation, water, waste, air quality and governance.
San Francisco ranked in the top five cities in six of the nine categories – energy, buildings, transportation, water, waste and air quality – and scored No. 1 in waste management, as the first U.S. city to mandate composting and recycling for residents, food establishments and events in 2009.
