BUFFALO RISING ONLINE

June 3, 2008

We Are #3 (again) When It Comes To Being Clean

Once again Buffalo has scored incredibly high in the Reader's Digest 'Cleanest City' rankings. So high,as a matter of fact, that we can still wave the number three flag high in the air. It was back in '06 when we first posted on the clean city ranking. At that time there was a rumbling of disbelief among BRO readers. But here we are again... Reader's Digest has just announced the top five cities, while giving honorable mention to the entire heat of 50 cleanest/most populous metropolitan areas.

So why is Buffalo pulling ahead (and staying ahead) of the pack? The high ranking is partly due to our new windmill farm. It's also due to our recent brownfield cleanup efforts. Even the big blue garbage bin effort has contributed to the high rankings. Cleaner water, cleaner streets, cleaner air... let's keep up the 'green' work Buffalo.
