The United States of America is a country of the western hemisphere, comprising fifty states and several territories. Forty-eight contiguous states lie in central North America between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, bound on land by Canada to the north and Mexico to the south; Alaska is in the northwest of the continent with Canada to its east, and Hawaii is in the mid-Pacific. At over 3.7 million square miles (over 9.6 million km²) and with over 300 million people, the United States is the third or fourth largest country by both total area and population. The U.S. is one of the world's most ethnically and socially diverse nations.

The United States was, as of 2005, the largest single emitter of carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels.

Places
Share information about places - where you live, work or visit, from local communities to cities, states and the whole country. (For other countries, continents and the planet itself please see our main Places, projects and networks page.)

What information might be relevant to quality of life or wellbeing in each area or community? What challenges or opportunities face the area or community? Impacts of Climate change? Challenges to Environmental, social or economic wellbeing? Transport and Planning challenges? Local sustainability challenges?

A good way to start an article is to see if there's an article about the place in Wikipedia, which you can adapt to include material which might be relevant to sustainability. Alternatively build up a list of relevant links.

Projects and networks
Share information about any local sustainability projects or networks (both local and non-local) you may be involved with or know about.

If you're unsure what information to include, just imagine you're wanting to learn about other projects. What information would you find useful? A good example project page is Kingston Green Fair
