Texas did not make the most sustainable list, but three were consecutively named the least! Mesquite was ranked very least sustainable, followed by Pasadena and Grand Prairie, Texas. 

Houston, meanwhile, was ranked 85th in terms of sustainability due to having some of the highest annual excess fuel consumption per car commuter and high levels of landfill waste per capita.
