My friend Christoph will be pleased: Switzerland scored top marks among 149 countries measured in six environmental areas including air pollution, water quality and how they control industrial pollution, according to the 2008 Environmental Performance Index released at the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum. Maybe its the way they handle ‘trash’.
Sadly, my birth country of Australia ranks even lower than the US 🙁 “This is another reminder of the legacy of the Liberals in government,” the Minister for Climate Change and Water, Penny Wong, said in a statement. “Their climate change denial and confusion have left Australia with a lot of work to do.” Thats an understatement! More Aussie perspective in the Sydney Morning Herald.
