Corporations are running most of our world. Bhutan is off the grid. Corporations and the banks don't care about the future of Earth they only care about profit now. They certainly don't care about happiness! The only thing governments care about are power & control. The people of Bhutan are happy with very little. They have a home on their own land. They have food and health care. They live without the stress of our lives. I watched this great documentary series on Bhutan and the people are glowing with happiness and living with simplicity.

    @@ARCH-INNERGY So true! I've said this elsewhere but, I wish America would wake up. We need to make drastic changes in our lives. I believe that one effective way to counter the corporations mindset is to get them where it hurts--their pockets. If we would scale back in our purchases (this is just one way). Most of us spend money unnecessarily in that we buy things that we already own not because it's no longer functioning but because we just want the newer version. I dare say that many of us probably already earn enough money to live comfortably, but we won't save or we try to live above our means. We keep falling prey to the brainwashing mantras we're inundated with through tv, phones, heck, the gas pump screens. "You deserve this." "Treat yourself." "Your kids will adore you if you get them this." "You'll be the envy of your neighborhood if you buy this." "You'll catch that man/woman's attention if you wear this, smell like this, if you look like this." WE buy gimmicky items like 'spinners' that are now no longer of interest and have been discarded into landfills by the thousands along with all of the other gimmicky or still usable items that have been manufactured, purchased and discarded over the years. I'm not saying it's going to be easy to change, cause it's not. It's going to take sacrifice on our part and will at times be a great inconvenience. It will also be monetarily costly for us and for our federal and state governments to bring about these changes, but they simply HAVE to be done because the consequences and costs of not changing is going to be much, much greater.

So they numb out by having addictions which all media is pushing. The addition to buying stuff, eating all the bad food, , alcohol, drugs ecxetra, ecxetra.

In India, the roads were polluted, traffics were not managed properly, but walking for few minutes to reach the Bhutanese border, the place was extremely clean, co-operative people and many things, that have remained only in dreams to be in a country, for which no words can describe how beautiful it was. Really, Bhutan is something that I wish every country to be like it.

The simplicity, the tradition, and the people will make you fall in love with this magnificent place. Love how simple and hard working these people are, and how they're just not willing to give up at any cost. Really puts your thoughts into perspective, this trip was for me to find clouds on top of mountains but I ended up finding myself.

    In a country that largely consists of forests and where hydroelectric power stations can easily be built and also has very few inhabitants, one can easily speak of CO2 neutral. This can hardly be achieved in any other country. Telling others that they should do the same as them is complete nonsense. Perhaps he should think about the increase in CO2 in the atmosphere, which has been 0.014% since the industrial revolution (272 years ago). Humanity is responsible for about 4% of this, so for 0.04 x 0.014 = 0.00056%, that is about 1/180,000th part of the CO2 in the atmosphere. If he thinks that's why glaciers are melting, he needs to prove it before pointing out others. The question is whether he has understood the calculation of the ICCP, or whether he simply accepts it, like almost everyone else.

    He is incredible, one of the most inspiring & passionate person I have ever seen! Really appreaciate how Bhutan, their king(s) and people truly care about the Earth. How great would it be if many more countries and leaders follow suit by reducing emission and produce green sustainable energy. Instead of creating a mess and exploit the Earth for humans greed, Lets take care of our ONE AND ONLY EARTH, people! One step at a time! Here are some easy things we can do, Simply : *. Actively Reduce / avoid using plastics bags/one time used plastics (like plastic spoons, straws, cup, etc). *. Turn off the lights/tv/electronics when not in used. *. Do not burn trash/things because it create very harmful and dangerous gas for human & Earth. *. Be mindful when using water, don't waste water when washing your face/shower/etc, because many countries have no access to clean water because many water sources are already contaminated/polluted from irresponsible dumping from companies/factories/people. Lets be the change! Together we can create a positive impact for Mother Nature! 😇

    hey did you know that there are open donations for ecological interests that can serve to ease bhutan's woes? If you can afford to, I really highly suggest you look into local charities you can donate a 20 to, or volunteer your time at. Anything and everything helps. If there's nothing near you that gets you interested, try looking at how to donate to reforestation and carbon sink efforts to really undo the effects of carbon emissions. I don't know if these are available but I'm sure we can find it together if it's out there. I had a hard time finding local efforts until I asked all my friends who were outdoors-y and hike-y and they knew all the details of local orgs. We can fix this through our effort! be outraged, and be optimistic

    There were cases during the 1980s where genuine Bhutanese were evicted from their homes( I won’t deny it ) by the local authorities of those places because of the false propaganda spread by those dissidents and their leaders and promising the protestors they would be given high political positions after all the facade. Some were even forced to take part in the protests even though they were reluctant otherwise they would’ve been killed which would explain the most for those in the camps saying they are genuine Bhutanese. Anyways though I do not know what it is like to live the life of refugees I do empathize and share my condolences to you.

    Tobgay makes Bhutan sound like an ideal case, like heaven on earth in this video, but I've done some research and the picture painted is not accurate. With regard to carbon emissions, the World Bank's records indicate that Bhutan's carbon emissions are going up exponentially. If that trend continues, then Bhutan won't be such an environmentally-friendly country for long. Also, with free education, free healthcare and subsidies for various industries, I just wondered what that would mean for their national debt. I took a look and it's not a pretty picture either. A Debt Sustainability Analysis by the World Bank concluded that Bhutan is either at high or moderate risk of a debt crisis, all while emissions are going up and poverty remains stubbornly high. Bhutan is NOT on a sustainable path and should NOT be an example to follow. However, they do have very good GDP growth and life expectancy and INTERNET usage are creeping up so they are doing fairly well for such a poor country. I just think that when people conceptualize Bhutanese life and their progress, they should not imagine that Bhutan can do all the things it's doing now for long. Eventually, the free public services and the subsidies will have to stop or else they will find themselves bankrupt and worse off than when they started. www.worldbank.org/en/country/bhutan/brief/should-bhutan-worry-about-public-debt data.worldbank.org/country/bhutan
