Lots of cities - including my home town of Berkeley - are setting out on a mission to be the "greenest city in the world." I think the bar's just been raised.
The One Planet Living Programme - a partnership with WWF - is proposing 'One Planet Living Communities' that will adopt the following guiding principles:
1. Zero carbon
2. Zero waste
3. Sustainable transport
4. Sustainable and local materials
5. Local food
6. Water efficiency
7. Conservation of flora and fauna
8. Respect for Cultural heritage
9. Equity and fair trade
10. Happy and healthy lifestyles
(I love it when the bar gets raised. :-)
