    Many cities and localities around the US have independently adopted
    the Kyoto Protocols, or at least part of them. Many predicted that
    this would be very costly but it hasn't necessarily turned out that
    way. 

          And even mayors who support curbing emissions worry whether a
          city-by-city approach will really work. Portland, Oregon, was
          the nation's first city to adopt a plan to global warming.
          Since 1993, it has increased light rail ridership
          significantly; it's purchased a significant amount of renewable
          energy and constructed almost 40 green buildings. On a per
          capita basis, greenhouse emissions have fallen 13 percent and
          the city's economy has remained robust.".......... "One hundred
          sixty-eight mayors in thirty-seven states committed their
          cities to the Kyoto treaty. The cities are a varied lot --
          conservative and liberal from Vermont to California.
