I did have a problem tho with a lot turning green when I didn't use any solar panels or green appliances.
In my experience, the main purpose of those appliances is to generate your own water and electricity if you're living off the grid, with the green or industrial influence being just a side effect. You can also influence the footprint with building materials alone, although I have yet to find something to influence it in a major way, because before turning to mods, I used to struggle on either front, keeping neighbourhoods green
or industrial. Just like a diet, which can start out great until your body gets used to it and you start gaining weight again, my neighbourhoods tend to go back to neutral after a while no matter what I do, in real time even when I'm not playing in them. I can leave the greenest neighbourhood to play with a family in another world for a few days, only to return and find that everything has turned back to neutral.
So yeah, even though everyone seems to have different experiences with the eco footprint, we all seem to agree that it needs tweaking (or fanmade mods, which are more reliable and better at fixing one thing without breaking another in the process).
