Energy Star Top Cities

I read in my school newspaper that The Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star program has ranked Dallas-Fort Worth 5th in the nation of cities with the highest number of energy efficient commercial building in 2008. I was actually surprised to see my city on that high on the list, and it makes me very proud!

The article explains that Energy Star buildings typically use 35% less energy and emit 35% less greenhouse gases than average buildings.

Here is the list of the top ten ranked cities:

1. Los Angeles

2. San Francisco

3. Houston

4. Washington

5. Dallas-Fort Worth

6. Chicago

7. Denver

8. Minneapolis-St. Paul

9. Atlanta

10. Seattle

YAY Texas for having two cities in the top ten!!
