WalletHub has released a new report ranking New Mexico near the bottom of the list for environmentally friendly states. The study compared all 50 states across 27 key metrics to determine their eco-friendliness. New Mexico ranked 47th overall in the report.
The metrics used in the study included factors such as air and water quality, renewable energy usage, and greenhouse gas emissions. The state performed particularly poorly in categories such as water quality and energy consumption, where it ranked 48th and 45th, respectively.
According to WalletHub, New Mexico’s low ranking can be attributed to its high levels of air and water pollution, as well as its reliance on non-renewable energy sources. The state could potentially improve its ranking by investing in renewable energy solutions and implementing more stringent environmental regulations.
Overall, the report serves as a reminder of the importance of prioritizing environmental sustainability and taking action to reduce our impact on the planet. Residents and policymakers in New Mexico are urged to take steps to improve the state’s environmental performance and protect its natural resources for future generations.
