When it comes to going green, the city of Barcelona is far ahead of its time. Since 1859, its designers
have consciously tried to create sustainable urban designs. Then in 1992, the city received a well-deserved
makeover before hosting the Olympic Games. In recent years, Barcelona has upgraded its transportation
system. This has reduced air pollution as more and more workers are using public transportation instead of
their own vehicles. Barcelona also boasts one of the best recycling programmes in the world. Visitors will
find clear, colour-coded trash bins throughout the city where ​they ​can put all of their materials.
It is no secret in Portland, Oregon is one of the greenest cities in the US. Since 1903, it has been an
example of what American cities can accomplish with careful planning. Instead of filling its area with office
buildings, Portland has plenty of green space for activities. There are 119 kilometres of running, hiking, and
bike trails that allow citizens to experience the great outdoors. The city also offers residents creative energy
plans that give them the opportunity to pay a bit extra for clean energy sources. For about $3 to $9 extra each
month, homeowners can choose solar or wind power and help the environment.
These are only a small sampling of the green cities around .the world. As more people experience the
pleasure of visiting green cities, it seems certain that the trend of urban areas going green will continue far
into the future.

Plant on Long Island was turned over to the state of New York to be dismantled without ever having
generated electric power. The reason was that residents and state authorities deemed that there was no
possibility of evacuating residents from the area should an accident occur.
Just 68 of those plants under way in 1975 have been completed, and another 3 are still under
construction. Therefore, it appears that in the mid1990s 124 nuclear power plants in the nation will be in

relatively outdated plants are shut down.

A. Expansion and renovation of existing fuel-generating plants
B. Creation of additional storage capacities for fossil fuels
