The city of Ames has a population just shy of 67K people and they have many eco-smart programs for promoting environment friendly practices. For example, they are one of only a few cities in the U.S. with resource recovery facilities where they burn trash for energy to help reduce the volume of trash at the landfill. Perhaps this is why Ames has high ranking statuses according to various magazines, noting Ames as "One of the Best Places to Live", "The 6th Smartest City in America", and "One of the Best Places to Raise Your Kids".
