This Is America's 'Greenest' City

The Golden State might be more appropriately called green, according to WalletHub. The site looked at 28 "green" indicators—including water and air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, annual excess fuel consumption, and the share of electricity from renewable sources—in America's 100 largest cities to find those that are most environmentally friendly. The majority of the top 10 are in California, while none at the bottom of the list are. The five most and least green cities, with a score out of 100:
