Reykyavik, Iceland
While they may have a natural head start in their geological makeup, Iceland has used its unique conditions to its advantage by researching and developing the greenest technology on earth. As for everyday living, a majority of Iceland's energy is a combination of geothermal and hydroelectric-based power, and everyday use of hydrogen fuel is on its way.

#3 Curitiba, Brazil
Small town feel, big city transportation system- Curitiba's citizens create a diverse scene on the truly efficient, high-quality, and entirely self-supportive bus system that takes you anywhere you want to go. The best part? Bus lanes mean no traffic, even at rush hour. A far cry from the 405 freeway.
