Sperling's BestPlaces ranked the 379major metropolitan areas, as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau. Over80 percent of all U.S. residents live in these 379 metro areas.Data was collected from sources which include the Census Bureau, theU.S. Green Building Council, Department of Transportation,Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Department of Agriculture, theGreenPeople.org online directory.Among its unique green attributes, Burlington has developed a compostfacility that collects food scraps from restaurants, supermarkets,institutions and food manufacturers, and the yard clippings and leavesfrom local residents and landscapers.
