Check out some amazing green homes for sale
Mother Nature Network (MNN) recently ranked the top 10 greenest cities in America based on several key measurements. As I clicked through the ranking slideshow, I hoped my city of Atlanta would appear somewhere in that list (sadly, that is not the case). This green ranking got me curious about current homes for sale, so I went window shopping on coldwellbanker.com to find some amazing green homes. Check these out!
