Carbon negative country


During my research, (err surfing the net), trying to determine if our grandchildren, were/were not, being manipulated in regards to climate change/global warming

I came across this site below, which is a YouTube video eighteen minutes, fifty four seconds long, made in April 2016

https://www.ted.com/talks/tshering_tobgay_this_country_isn_t_just_carbon_neutral_it_s_carbon_negative?language=en

In summery (if I have interpreted it correctly)
The Kingdom/Country of Bhutan, which is situated in the Himalayas, on the border between China and India, has decided to be carbon neutral for all time

Basically a country whose government isn't obsessed with how to get rich, but how to get environmentally friendly
Instead of going for the Gross National Product, they went for the Gross National Happiness

They are a small, poor country, and their glaciers are melting through no fault of their own
The people receive free education, medical, and electricity, plus subsidies for electric cars

In my opinion (so I could be wrong), it would be a good viewing for anyone interested

Opps link did not work, done it again

Link still not working

A pretty powerful address & a great National initiative.

It's a pity that we can't go just even a little way along this path.

 

As they say ... Thanks for sharing.
