I live in San Antonio, TX and even though we are probably behind other cities, here is a link that outlines some of the happenings in local green scene.

Hardly anything.
Arkansas is pretty much behind.
I still see people buying huge SUVs and 99% of the time only one person is in it.

My area has recycling areas, but curb side pick up should be a MUST. This is one of the numerous reasons I want to move!

Chicago is talking a lot of talk, mostly just a lot of PR. In the touristy areas, there are tons of public recycling bins, in the residential neighborhoods the dirty garbage cans are still piled up with trash. They have a few low-emissions buses that are part of some pilot program. The only notable thing is that they are FINALLY phasing out the city's Blue Bag Recycling in favor of separate blue containers like almost everyone else uses. Hopefully Mayor Daley follows through on his promise to make Chicago greener, but given the city's budget failures who knows.

My little burg is going to recycle regardless of whether it makes economic/environmental sense or not. If someone claims that it's "green" then everyone is forced onto the bandwagon. Our town is HUNDREDS of miles from a recycling facility. So now we're going to spend a half million taxpayer dollars per year to collect stuff and then ship it off in tractor trailer rigs. It's idiocy. Not ONE STUDY was done to figure out whether it increases or decreases our overall footprint.
