California cities among cleanest
From Times wire reports
Reader’s Digest has ranked the cleanliness of U.S. cities based on their air and water pollution, toxic emissions, hazardous waste and number of sanitation workers per capita.
The cleanest cities, the magazine reports, are Portland, Ore.; San Jose; Buffalo, N.Y.; Columbus, Ohio; and San Francisco.
Chicago was at the bottom of the cleanliness list, and the New York, Pittsburgh, St. Louis and Birmingham, Ala., metropolitan areas were also among the “dirtiest.”
