Oklahoma’s two largest cities do poorly in the latest rankings of cities working to protect the environment. Wallethub Analyst Jill Gonzalez says Tulsa and Oklahoma City were near the top of the list of those named as LEAST GREEN metropolitan areas. Only Baton Rouge did worse.

Gonzalez says Wallethub looked at 20 key indicators of sustainability ranging from greenhouse gas emissions to the number of smart-energy policies and initiatives.

October is National Energy Awareness Month.
