About "Green" Portland
Portland is lauded as one of the "greenest" cities in North America, having nabbed 1st place in SustainLane's annual US City Rankings in both 2007 and 2008. With its progressive urban growth boundaries, vibrant bike culture, bountiful farmers markets, numerous urban parks (including the largest in the US - Forest Park), emphasis on mass transit, and a consistent leading spot among the cities with the most LEED certified buildings, what better place is there to hold the continent's most advanced green building conference?
