Bhutan is a very appealing country with its Buddhist culture and its temples hidden in the mountains. <br />But not many has the chance to visit as the government puts measures to prevent mass tourism. <br />This is one of the ways to preserve its environment. <br />Bhutan is already known to be a unique country as government opts to measure progress through the Gross National Happiness index and not the Gross Domestic Product.<br />The Gross National Happiness puts a great emphasis on the protection of the country’s rich natural environment. <br />It is within the country’s constitution to protect the forests, and more than 70% of the territory is covered in trees. <br />The large amount of tree cover makes Bhutan absorbs more carbon dioxide than it produces.<br />Almost all the country’s electricity comes from hydropower. <br />Bhutan produces so much hydroelectricity that it sells it to neighboring countries. <br />By 2030, Bhutan plans to reach zero net greenhouse gas emissions and to produce zero waste. <br />The country even partners with Nissan to provide them with electrical cars. <br />Bhutan is an example to all countries and a prove that we can live while respecting the environment.
