Two N.C. cities make "green" list

Nope, not Greensboro.

But Asheville and Durham made a recent list of the country's top 25 greenest cities.

The list, compiled by "Country Home" magazine, ranked cities based on factors including the number of green-certified buildings, air and watershed quality, miles of public transportation, power use, farmers' markets and producers of organics, according to a report from Realtor.org.

Durham ranked 16th, while Asheville ranked 25th. The top-ranked city on the list was Burlington, Vermont.
