To clarify, since intrinsic to the current economic paradigm is the necessity of obsolescence (things must break down in order to continue with cyclical consumption), a "green" economy is not a VIABLE solution to current environmental woes. This is because, even though "green," it still operates within the current framework of "market capitalism" which has more to do with waste and degradation than it does "economy."
And so, the world is very much in a state of COLLAPSE. Our economic system serves to ravage the planet in such a way that its resources are controlled by a powerful elite. The controllers of these finite resources are lustily focused on wealth accumulation and not on product sustainability. The former, unnecessary, the latter indispensable.

The notion that a "green" market economy is someone good
for the environment given the demands placed upon it by market capitalism is not possible. In essence, "green" market economics is much ado about nothing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8Ie9tfMOzA

Yipee! Another useless listicle!! Surprising (and, disappointing) to see Forbes reporting on a NerdWallet posting.

America's Greenest CitiesFORBES - 4/15/2015 @ 12:09PM Big cities have long been associated with the smokestacks and exhaust fumes, but many metros enable a more earth-friendly lifestyle than one might expect, according to data released this week by personal finance site NerdWallet. [!IFRAME FILTERED! ] [!IFRAME FILTERED! ] To determine which cities are friendliest to the environment, NerdWallet examined factors including environmental quality, transportation, energy sources, and housing density in the largest 150 cities in the country. Jersey City, New York’s neighbor across the Hudson River, closes out the top ten. Despite sub par air quality, Jersey City claims the second highest number of commuters who travel to work by public transit–46%–bested only by New York.
