Mother Nature Networks recently released the following infographics, illustrating superlatives of each of the states. The titles are based on the way in which each state excels and falls flat in the areas of science, nature, public health, or social justice. The state of New York excels in possessing the lowest per capita energy use, while it also has the top health risk from air pollution. Pennsylvania (where I am originally from) boasts having the most organic mushrooms. Similar interesting infographics entitled ‘The United States of Awesome’ and ‘The United States of Shame’ should be viewed as well.
