S.F. Ranks 2nd Most Sustainable City
According to a study conducted by SustainLane Media, San Francisco was the second most sustainable city in the United States. Within the study, San Francisco ranked first in "city innovation" and "energy and climate change policy" for having programs that ban plastic grocery bags, provide solar incentives, and create urban gardens (including one on the City Hall's front lawn). San Francisco lost points in "affordable housing" and "natural disaster risk", causing the City to place second, after Portland, Oregon.
