The happy planet index

Posted by: gard on Jul 14, 06 at 03:04 AM Posted in: Travel Tips & Trip Ideas Tagged:

Hi

We had a thread some time ago about how big your ecological footprint is. Here is an index that shows how "happy" people are around the world. This takes several things into consideration like ecological impact, life expectancy, life satisfaction etc. Here is a quote from the web page
The Happy Planet Index (HPI) is an innovative new measure that shows the ecological efficiency with which human well-being is delivered around the world. It is the first ever index to combine environmental impact with well-being to measure the environmental efficiency with which country by country, people live long and happy lives. The results are surprising, even shocking, but there is much to learn from what they show

Here is the link: http://www.happyplanetindex.org/index.htm
