Factors like commute length, energy consumption, pollution levels and even how many vegan restaurants informed the new research.
Edinburgh and Glasgow are the UK’s two most eco-friendly cities with Scotland leading the way on sustainability, a new study has claimed. Factors like commute length, energy consumption, pollution levels and even how many vegan restaurants were all considered to form the findings.
The study put Edinburgh far and away in front on overall sustainability with a total index score of 78.1 out of 100, followed by Glasgow in second place with 70.2. Hull was third on 68.7 out of 100, followed by Bristol with 64.0 and Leeds in fifth with 56.9. Welsh capital Cardiff made it into ninth place, with an index score of 54.6, while London was tenth with 53.8. No other Scottish cities made the top 20.
