Environmental Excellence Award For Mesa? NO: Mesa Ranked #93 on EcoWatch List

Ooops! Sorry Mr. Mayor, but that news in a report last week from Wallet Hub does not jibe with your goofy Jive. 
It's  nothing to brag about after your badgering at the start of last Thursday's Mesa City Council for someone to "just brag a little more" over the city's finalist mention in the Parks & Trails category runner-up mention at AZ Forward's  Environmental Excellence Awards

In a report released this week by Wallet Hub, the personal finance website compared the 100 most populated U.S. cities across 26 key "green" indicators, from greenhouse gas emissions per capita to share of electricity from renewable sources. Even the number of farmers markets and green job opportunities were considered.

In fact, six Californian cities made it to the top 10. The world's fifth largest economy has emerged as one of the nation's environmental leaders. Gov. Jerry Brown signed a law in September requiring that 100 percent of the state's electricity come from renewable sources by 2045, making it the second state after Hawaii to set such a mandate.
These are the greenest cities in the U.S., according to WalletHub:
1. San Diego, CA
2. San Francisco, CA
3. Washington, DC
4. Irvine, CA
5. San Jose, CA
6. Honolulu, HI
7. Fremont, CA
8. Seattle, WA
9. Sacramento, CA
10. Portland, OR
These 10 cities at the ranked at the bottom of the list:

91. Gilbert, AZ
92. Cleveland, OH
93. Mesa, AZ
94. Lexington, KY
95. Detroit, MI
96. Memphis, TN
97. Toledo, OH
98. St. Louis, MO
99. Corpus Christi, TX
100. Baton Rouge, LA

WalletHub said that being environmentally conscious comes with a number of benefits.
"Apart from employing Americans, clean energy and other 'green' practices, such as recycling programs and urban agriculture, benefit the environment and public health, all of which contribute to America's bottom line, according to many experts," the report said. "Recognizing those advantages, cities across the U.S. have increased their sustainability efforts and benefited economically."
