Timed to Earth Day, April 22, the list of the US states most favourable to ecology and health was published by Wallethub, an American personal finance website. Wallethub has compared states by the quality of their environmental characteristics, inputs into stabilization of the climate, and eco-friendly actions taken by the governmental structures of the different states. Each state was given a relevant number of points for fulfilling or not fulfilling each of thecriteria. Vermont and New York are ranked 1st and 2nd, respectively, in the ratings. Vermont, as the greenest location in the US, has a good amount of energy intake and is the best state in terms of actions towards ecological recovery. Another state in the top three and runner-up is New York; it also has low energy consumption and some of the best qualified soil. Wallethub has also made a list of the least green states. Arkansas and Texas are two of the most polluted places where the government is facing different problematic factors that damage the ecology and are expecting difficulties in overcoming this critical situation.
