A new study found Austin is one of the most environmentally-conscious cities in the country.

The Green Guide recognizes cities that provide the most energy-efficient, least polluting and healthiest spaces to live.

Austin ranked No. 2 on the list, behind Eugene, Ore.

Some of the issues taken into consideration include: anti-smoking legislation, rebates for use of solar and wind power, environmentally-concerned residents and a high percentage of parks and wooded areas.

Austin was the only city in Texas to make the list.
