  1. The City of Reno has taken a giant sustainability leap ahead of other major U.S. cities. On Tuesday, the city and Ledger8760, the 24/7 carbon tracking platform that measures energy, emissions, and utility information, announced the launch of a public portal that comprehensively and accurately captures and monitors Reno's carbon footprint. By tracking emissions on a 24/7 basis, the city can understand how usage patterns change throughout the course of a day, month, or season. (Yahoo Finance)
