1. Bhutan is a small country in the Himalayas the population of the country is barely
700,000 sandwiched between two of the most populated countries on earth China
and India. The reality is that they are doing their best to survive.
2. Education Is completely free in Bhutan all citizens are guaranteed free education
and those that work hard are given free college education health care is also
completely free they are all provided by the state they manage this because they
use their limited resources very carefully.
3. Bhutan is not carbon neutral, Bhutan is carbon negative their entire country
generates 2.2 million tons of carbon dioxide but their forests, they sequester more
than three times that amount so they are net carbon sink for more than for more
than four million tons of carbon dioxide each year.
4. They export most of the renewable electricity that they generate from their fast-
flowing rivers so, today the clean energy they export offsets about 6 million tons of
carbon dioxide in our neighborhood by 2020 they exported 17 million of offsets of
carbon dioxide.
5. Bhutan absorbs roughly seven million tons of carbon dioxide annually and only
produces around two million tones. Bhutan also exports most of the renewable
hydro-electric power that it generates from its rivers. This counteracts the country's
contribution towards carbon emissions by millions of tones each year. This is the
only reason that Bhutan is s so environmentally friendly and not only carbon neutral
but carbon negative.
