The most appealing feature I consider whenever I travel is the level of cleanliness a certain destination is known for. It is the dream of almost every person on this world to live in one of the cleanest cities of the world. Dusty, dirty, highly polluted cities are the main environmental factors I try to avoid when traveling since I live & own a cleaning business in NYC. The cleaner your cities are the healthier and happier you and your family will be. Here is the list of the 7 cleanest cities on Earth.
**note** there is no particular order of importance with this list.

6. Stockholm, Sweden
Stockholm is a name that is recognized the world over and it is also famous as the political and economic capital of Sweden. Stockholm specializes in an array of service industries, and there is almost no heavy industry in the city, which helps keep it clean and pollution free.
7. Curitiba, Brazil
Curitiba, Southern Brazil, is considered one of the cleanest cities of the country because of two main reasons:
1. The garbage policy:
Citizens separate their trash into two categories, organic and non-organic, which is collected by two sets of trucks so that there is no mixing. Poor families in squatter settlements, unreachable by trucks, bring their trash bags to a neighbourhood centre where they can exchange the trash for bus tickets or food.
2. Transportation:
Core to the city’s unique transport system is the bus service: 1 100 buses make 12 500 trips a day serving 1,3 million passengers. The buses are express buses that operate on dedicated busways; rapid buses that operate on the busways and other city streets; bi-articulated buses also for rapid transport but using high-capacity lanes; inter-district buses and feeder buses.
