Focus Earth has some very good news this week, with the findings of a report that spells out the 25 most sustainable American cities. Bob Woodruff and his team bring you the rankings, and the facts about what green choices made the difference for the winning city of Portland, OR, and other chart-toppers from across the country.

Portland is known for its progressive green initiatives, its strongly city-supported cycling culture, and its preponderance of green businesses. Portland even has a green gym that harvests electricity from the patrons while they sweat. However, which of these factors made the green difference and won it the top honor of being the most sustainable city in the country?

Tune in to find out what put Portland on top, and to see if your hometown made history as one of the eco-friendliest cities in the country. Whether your favorite city is on the list or not, the Focus Earth profile of the 25 most sustainable cities will bring you inspiration from communities that have made eco-smart choices, and have great green numbers to show for the difference they're making in the global environment.
