What's the greenest State in America?
Answer:
I understood your question to be the greenest in environment..if that is correct it must be California, We recycle everything that can be recycled, glass, plastic, aluminum, junk mail, newspapers, cardboard, batteries, florescent bulbs and used motor oil. San Francisco is banning plastic grocery bags. Our weather is mostly sunny year around so there are a lot of solar panels helping to create electricity. We also have many hybrid car owners. If you mean green in color it would have to be Oregon or Washington, as they get LOTS of rain.
in my travels it would be Oregon or Washington state
OREGON
California seems to be a frontrunner but they do have a horrendous smog problems. Anything on the west coast is a safe bet.
Well, I used to think Tennessee was, but with all the rain we're having in Kansas, it's awefully green!!
Vermont! Vert Mont is 'green mountain' in French
It may surprise you, but east Texas, from the Red River to the Gulf of Mexico, is VERY GREEN due to its humidity and rain fall, but most people only think of Texas as some dry place from all the hollywood westerns. God Bless you.
I BELIEVE IT MAY BE NEW YORK
Texas, if you were to come and see it right now with all of the unbelievable amounts of rain we've been having. My front lawn is as green as a professional golf course!
Well, according to the Davy Crockett song: "Born on a mountain top in Tennessee,
Greenest state in the land of the free."
I'm pretty sure though, that you're talking about "green" in terms of environmental friendliness. In terms of policy, California is making huge strides towards a sustainable future, but I still wouldn't call it the "greenest state".
I would say that would be Vermont, followed by Oregon. Both the government and people of Vermont are known for embracing the environment, due partially to the fact that it is one of the most liberal states we have. And yes, Vermont is home to the Green Mountains.
Oregon
The Greenest Place in America...
...is New York City. Consider:
The state of New York "uses less energy, on a per capita basis, than any state in America."
The average New Yorker "generates less than a third of the carbon emissions that the average American does."
And here's why:
Yes, it houses 8.2 million citizens and uses an enormous amount of energy to do so. Its electrical load, more than 12,000 megawatts, is as large as all of Massachusetts. Yet because the buildings are dense and thus more efficiently heated and cooled, and because 85 percent of all trips in Manhattan are on foot, bike or transit, New York City uses dramatically less energy to serve each of its citizens than does a state like Massachusetts.
Seems everone rates cities not states.
i live in Oregon and have been in most states, buy far it is Alaska. not many roads,less cars more foot travel. small population, no big Dow type chemical plants, just miles and miles of uninhabited land
I would guess Hawaii, as they have no winter and have a year round rain-forest environment.
