A GREEN PLACE TO LIVE AND ENJOY LIFE
If you are tired of modern life and you want to contribute more to building a better planet for future generations, think about the following places. According to the Global Green Economy Index (GGEI) 2014 - a detailed assessment of the performance of each country in every continent in the global green economy - Germany and some Scandinavian countries ranked top of the list. The top five countries included Sweden, Norway, Costa Rica, Germany, and Denmark. In addition, the ten greenest cities were Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Vancouver, London, Berlin, New York, Singapore, Helsinki, and Oslo.
Green Stockholm, Sweden
Stockholm dwellers are fortunate to live in one of the greenest capitals in the world. And they try their best to keep it that way. The city is well known for its cycle paths and lanes full of commuters wearing helmets. For people who prefer public transport, there are buses and taxis that run on renewable energy, which is really good for the environment. Besides, both public and private transport can use upgraded biogas produced by waste-water treatment plants applying advanced technologies.
Visitors to Stockholm will be amazed to see that all hotels, hostels and guest houses are environmentally friendly and certified with eco-labels. It's so great that almost 100% of the household waste in the city is recycled and is used for heating and electricity; and drinking water is always of very high and reliable quality. There is no doubt to say that waste in Stockholm is converted into valuable resources. With the recycling revolution and effective waste management, Stockholm has been reducing the amount of waste to rubbish dump to less than 1%.
