Tennessee is making big strides in sustainability, according to a scorecard from the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy that was picked up by StreetsBlog. The Volunteer State moved all the way up from No. 46 to No. 38, showing that the recent local emphasis on improving sustainability is achieving results. In fact, the photo that accompanies the StreetsBlog post shows Downtown Memphis, and the caption links to an Associated Press story about the new statewide building code.
