"When we think of green cities, most of us think of the same perpetual lineup: Portland, Boulder, San Francisco, Seattle, and Burlington. We here at HuffPost Green wanted to expand the green cities label with some more contenders. What about Eugene? Fayetteville? Austin? Long Beach?
Rated one of the NRDC’s green cities to watch with a population of 67,158, Fayetteville is an up and coming green city nestled in the Ozark Mountains. Fayetteville boasts an impressive farmers market in the newly renovated downtown square, featuring fruits, vegetables, flowers and herbs. Since 2007, Fayetteville requires all buildings greater than 5,000 square feet to be LEED-Silver Standard certified. The city also instituted Project LIGHTS to provide energy efficient light bulbs to low-income residences. Fayetteville is the first in the state to employ a Sustainability Coordinator, using the funds saved through eco-friendly measures to pay for the job."We were so excited to read this and know that we are smack-dab right in the middle of a growing revolution in the U.S.! We love what we do, but more than that, we want to help people save money and live healthier lives, all while being excellent stewards of the earth we've been given!
