Kimberly Haas from WHYY interviewed a Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) representative, Larry Levine about their recently released report, The Green Edge. In the interview, Levine was asked what he thought of Philadelphia’s green infrastructure program and if he could, how he would grade it. Given Green City, Clean Waters’ current standing, he said that he would give it an A. He mentioned that Philadelphia has received a lot of attention from the program, including accolades by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the NRDC itself.
