If you want a 'green' community

It is tough to define the best green places on the Island because those that follow sustainable principles - from solar power to foot power - are sprinkled throughout neighborhoods from working-class to wealthy. But if you look through the lens of sustainable principles - such as a centralized downtown, open-space preservation, clean-energy use and access to public transportation - several communities stand out.
