Which US city and state is considered the greenest?
This should be an easy one 
. Which city / state is considered the greenest. By that I mean which city is:
* the least polluted
* has multiple sources of clean / renewable energy
* provides the best tax incentives for going green
* recycles
* has the most organic certified crops
* healthiest population?
Whew- that’s a lot, but I think that about covers it. Interested in your thoughts. Discuss ~Slacker

I am surprised that Palo Alto, CA is not listed as either the greenest or close to the greenest, they provide many, many millions of dollars towards subsidy of green projects, have the most extensive recycling program I have EVER seen, and are among the healthiest of all californians.
Environmental stewardship is not just a catch phrase in Palo Alto, it’s a way of life. City government itself has been designated a “Green Business” and the City Council lists “Climate Protection” as one of its top priorities.
Important parts of this effort are the City of Palo Alto Utilities renewable energy program, the City’s Zero Waste initiative, and a local commitment to alternative transportation.
Not too sure how much I agree with this list though, KC being listed as #25 is a joke, as a resident of nearly 8 years I can speak to the fact that this place is anything BUT environmentally friendly.
