News: Happy Planet Index; which country wins?
The Happy Planet Index is a new study with an interesting different approach. It measures health and happiness against a new standard: sustainability!
You take the well-being and longevity of a population and set the result against a country’s ecological footprint. The country with the best score? Costa Rica! Inhabitants live long and happy lives at little cost to the environment: a quarter of the recourses compared to what the Western countries use.
