Philly’s 8th Greenest – What?

Mayor Nutter wants Philly to be #1 at something besides cheesesteaks… his Greenworks plan goal is for Philly to be the Greenest in the USA.

The Grist just put out a 10 most climate-ready cities ranking and called Philly #8… tied with #7’s New York. (sidenote… how is it 8th if it’s tied?)

How do you feel about that, Philly? Think our green actions deserve #7/8?  Or are you hesitant?

Sound off the comments.
