Five
of the most green Countries
Let's talk about the most friendly countries
- that is, normal, virtually unpolluted environment. There are
very few places left, so please see this information in order
to know where even nature is not destroyed by man. Lately,
though, many people reflect on their own attitude towards the
environment, and began to be corrected - someone from the car
refuses to who, Wind determines who uses "green" gadgets and
appliances.
All countries would be as clean as those
described here.
Now, scientists at Yale University ranked
these countries, given the many factors. Countries were
evaluated by stoballnoy (Russian Word) scale.
05
Norway
In the fifth place - Norway 81.1
points. CO2. By 2030, Norway will become a country with
virtually no industrial emissions of CO2. Already countries
are taking steps to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere, looking for ways to reduce emissions. To achieve
this, the government makes the purchase of related equipment
and technologies. Plans are under way to reduce carbon dioxide
emissions by 40%.
Incidentally, the steps are not purely
scientific, but economic. So, those motorists who have a car
with engine on diesel fuel, should pay more. In addition,
Norway paves the additional railway line, to save the
inhabitants of the country from having to travel by car over
long distances. The country also leads in the order of
landscapes, disturbed previously.
04
Sweden
In the fourth place Sweden - 86.0 points.
While the rest of the country are experiencing hard times due
to the need to always pay more for fuel, going to Sweden
already in 2020 to transfer all the houses on the fuel-free
mode. The Government has not gone mad and not going to turn
off all heating and gas. Sweden is gradually shifting to
renewable energy sources.
Such a plan was not adopted now, but back in
1980, during one of the fuel crisis. Country focuses on energy
use of rivers, wind and sun. Unfortunately, Sweden is building
nuclear power plants, which are well, not exactly "clean". Are
taking other steps. For example, chips turn into balls and
sell to the population for heating. In addition, Sweden is
gradually transferred to the use of biogas in vehicles instead
of the normal methane. That sounds a bit strange, but much
cheaper biofuels produced in the bowels of the earth
gas.
03 Costa
Rica
In third place Costa Rica - 86.4 points.
This country has long stated its intention to remain a clean
country, now Costa Rica working on the conservation of virgin
forests and biodiversity. By 2021, Costa Rica is going to be a
country with zero emissions of industrial carbon dioxide. To
do this, the Government promotes the development of new types
of alternative energy sources, implementing already existing
in the industry. Of course, Costa Rica - a warm country, so it
does not have to heat the house. This immediately almost
one-third reduction in consumption of energy.
For decades, Costa Rica has destroyed its
own forests, sold abroad. It is making significant
efforts to reduce the activity of companies, cut down forests,
in addition, the country is trying to plant new trees to
replace felled. Only in 2008, despite the crisis were planted
5 million new trees. This is not so much but gives hope for
the restoration of destroyed earlier.

02
Switzerland
In second place Switzerland - 89.1 points. This country
was the leader of the rating of the cleanest countries in
2008, now she has moved into second place. Switzerland is
always working to stay clean, "green" country, gradually
reducing the amount of emissions and arranging their own
territory. The government is gradually creating new national
parks, where nature comes in its original
form.
In Switzerland, large and small companies,
as well as individuals, are adopting "green" technologies, and
promote the use of such technologies for its customers. For
example the popular hotels in this country are doing discounts
to those who arrive in hybrid cars. In addition, many homes
use heating system that receives energy from geothermal
sources. But, in general, Switzerland has never been a dirty
country. That's really, truly - "Clean, not where sweeping,
but where do not litter." For Switzerland, this slogan is
native.
01
Iceland
In the first place Iceland - 93.5 points. If we talk
about geothermal energy, to whom, and lucky in that respect,
it's Iceland. Iceland eliminating the need to burn something
to get warm. No heat in this country plenty, despite the cold
climate.
The Icelandic Government has encouraged
residents of this small country to use "green" technology, but
also the people themselves did not resist. Interestingly,
earlier Iceland 70% dependent on the supply of coal, which is
imported into this country. Now the dependence of the energy
sphere of Iceland from coal is only 18%. Even if coal supply
does stop, Iceland will survive. By 2050, Iceland is going to
get rid of dependence on coal and oil, excluding those natural
resources from the economy and industry of the
country.
