The International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives lists Austin among the top 15 greenest cities in the world.
“Austin is important because it shows that a government body can take steps within its own realm of control — that this is a problem that can be managed and that there are models that can work,” said David Hawkins, director of the climate center at the Natural Resources Defense Council in Washington, D.C. “If Austin’s actions cause other cities to ask, ‘Why aren’t we doing something like that?’ then this can have a much bigger effect.”
