Air is everywhere in Fort Worth’s green agenda. The city is teaming up with neighboring Dallas to alleviate air quality problems in a plan that proposes a 55 percent reduction in pollution from 1999 levels.

How does age of a city affect how it performs? Take a look at how pre- and post-war cities measure up to each other.
Seattle is at the forefront of all things Green. Our city has worked very hard to be #1 in Energy and Climate Change Policy and Innovation, and we're proud to be among the leaders in LEED Certified Buildings and the development of a Green Economy. These rankings provide the platform for friendly competition and a baseline for success. However, for us to be successful in the fight against Global Climate Change, every city has to embrace sustainable ideas such as smart growth, innovation, and progressive policy. Seattle is committed to do its part. —Mayor Greg Nickels, Seattle
