America's "Least Wasteful" City

For the second year in a row, San Francisco has won the title of America's "least wasteful" city. Seattle and New York came in second and third, respectively, outdoing fourth-place Portland. (Click here to see the full ranking.)

Nalgene produced its list by polling people in the top 25 U.S. cities about their living habits. Researchers gave 3,750 people a 23-question survey to learn about how they live with an eye toward sustainability, shopping, waste, transportation, and reuse.

The survey's creators hope to raise awareness about the small measures cities can take to greatly reduce their waste and pollution output without having to make a big investment.
