(From MSNBC.com/Forbes -- By Brian Wingfield and Miriam Marcus)
When you think "green," you think New Jersey, right?
OK, maybe not.
But perhaps you should.
THE GARDEN STATE ranked seventh in our first-ever list of AMERICA'S GREENEST STATES, a surprise winner amid places synonymous with environmentalism like Vermont, Oregon and Washington.
More startling -- The congested East Coast is a lot more environmentally friendly than you thought.
Sure the Western U.S., with its big skies and open spaces feels green -- but when you look at broader measurements of humans' impact on the environment, including consumption patterns, air and water quality, and waste, as well as policy, they don't fare as well.
