San Francisco, Not as Sustainable as Portland?

SustainLane Media, the world wide web's "largest people-powered guide to sustainable living," came out with its annual ranking of the most sustainable U.S. cities. And San Francisco came in at no. 2. Why? Because of our deft recycling abilities (San Francisco, it seems, has artists in residence at both our solid waste and recycling centers.) While we beat Seattle (3), New York City (5), and Oakland (9), Portland came out on top. Again. But to be fair, they don't even flush in Portland, and we're certain that Portlanders like drinking their own pee, so we're going to go ahead and say SF is no 1. At least among the civilized world, we are. Yay, us! (SFGate)
