The Brooking Institution recently released the report, Shrinking the Carbon Footprint of Metropolitan America, ranking the carbon footprints of the nation's 100 largest metropolitan areas based on total metric tons of carbon emissions per capita in 2005.
And...Honolulu topped the list for the smallest footprint! Factors contributing to Honolulu's #1 spot are high-density living, a well-used public transportation system, and the favorable weather.
According to the September issue of Sierra, residents of metropolitan areas have smaller carbon footprints than the average American. Areas that ranked on the bottom of the Brookings list generally depend on cars for transportation and coal for energy.
