I found the nice article on the net that "Which are the world's cleanest cities?" This is from Forbes, the most popular business information magazine. In this article, many cities are ranked according to their cleanness of air, water and soil. (It is not the ranking of beautiful tourist spots!) That is surprising and interesting, so let me introduce it.
The first prize is Calgary in Canada. (the first photo) Calgary is one of the oldest cities in Canada, and it used to be enriched thanks to oil and natural gas. Now winter sports and tourism are popular there. It is so beautiful, isn't it? I want to visit it!!!
The second cleanest city is Honolulu in Hawaii. (the second photo) As you know, Honolulu is very famous for its lovely landscape. In this city, the system of public transportation is completed, so the air is clean. I like hu-la, the dance in Hawaii, but I've never been to Hawaii :( I want to go there and dance hu-la!
The third prize is Helsinki in Finland. It is the city to contact about trade and communication, and the center of politics and business in Finland. People there use a streetcar and a subway, not using their own cars, when going to work. That is good for nature and environment.
After best 3 cities, Ottawa in Canada, Minneapolis in U.S., and Oslo in Norway come.
There are 2 cities I like in the sixth prize, the same as Oslo. These are Stockholm in Sweden (the third photo), and Zurich in Switzerland (the fourth photo, I like it the best!!). Stockholm is the center of politics and economics in Sweden. There is no heavy industries, and instead, the service industry has developed. Zurich is the most important city among areas people use German, and it is called "the city having the highest standard of living in the world".
Other cities introduced in this article are Boston in U.S., Auckland in New Zealand, Dublin in Ireland, Amsterdam in Holland, Lyons in France, and Kobe in Japan.
The most surprising thing is that among 25 cleanest cities, there are 5 cities in Canada, Calgary, Ottawa, Vancouver, Montreal, and Toronto! I should have chosen Canada when going to SEA program... No no no, I'm happy to study in England! :P
In the near future, I want to visit all of these cities, and see them by my eyes :)
What do you think about this ranking?
