Air Quality:
Portland, Oregon has been specially designed to conserve air quality. It is purposefully compact, so that people living on the rural-urban fringe do not need to travel far (By car - a polluting practice) to reach the CBD (Central Business District).
Hydrogen fuel stations are also becoming more abundant, to support hydrogen-fuelled cars, which are less polluting than petrol cars as they only emit water vapour (not co2 - a harmful greenhouse gas).
Water quality:
Recycling schemes to reduce waste dumping in the oceans.
Research into fertiliser alternatives which, when washed into water, disrupt ecosystems by affecting the nitrogen cycle.
Hope that helps!
