Green City Spotlight:
Richmond, Seattle, and Goodland

by The Green A-Team

The Greening of America is growing like wild and a massive surge of improvements are taking place in our cities.

Here are three cities which deserve special recognition in this week’s Green City Spotlight.

Richmond Virginia is easy to love as small businesses can obtain big loans to purchase Clean Air Act compliant equipment and agricultural structures that adhere to Green standards.

Seattle, Washington home of Microsoft, Starbucks, and the Webby Award winning environmental juggernaut, Grist.org. It’s become the publication of a generation when it comes to environmental information and commentary.  Make sure to visit them at g-r-i-s-t dot org.

And Goodland, Kansas home of Van Gogh’s super-sized “Sunflowers” is beautifying its reputation with a brand new ethanol plant, biomass electrical plant and a wind farm.

    Seattle has got a ways to go before they are what I would call environmetally conscience but for the most part they are making strides towards that goal.Having moved from Seattle to NYC seven years ago I can tell you the west coast’s approach is vastly different than the east when it comes to environmental concerns.

    I’m of the belief system that something is better than nothing. Do you think the approach out West is better or worse than what’s happening out East and in the Midwest, Plains, and South?
