Popular science named Lexington as the #25 greenest city in the US, and noted we have the highest recycling rates in the country or something.

Thats just another nod in the right direction for complete streets and the greater good of our region.

The article is here - http://www.popsci.com/environment/article/2008-02/americas-50-greenest-cities?page=1

Lexington, Ky.
Ranking: 25
Score: 16.8 - the article explains this

* Electricity: 5.9 Transportation: 3.6 Green Living: 2.3 Recycling/Perspective: 5.0
* CATEGORY LEADER: Recycling and green perspective
Lexingtonians recycle everything from surplus electronics to scrap metal, and they listed the environment as their third most important concern (behind only employment and public safety)—the highest ranking in our survey.

Maybe they meant "greenest" as in, most money spent foolishly?
