One of the bold examples of commercialization is the self-proclaimed "Green City" attributions made by city after city. In the spirit of simple transparency, how does a city earn Green city status? Does it come by proclamation or award by a civic group courting favor from the politicians in power? Is it secretly awarded if a city has a few LEED certified buildings in the thousands of non-LEED certified buildings? Perhaps it happens when a city like Naperville, IL gets props for doling our grants from ARRA funds for Green business improvements. Perhaps, a Green city comes from a bold move to change over the money-losing transit system to propane as a fuel.
