Indeed, it is one of just three countries to mark the top 10 of the Happy Planet Index rankings with an Ecological Footprint that is small enough to be considered environmentally sustainable. The report also notes that, “While wellbeing in Vietnam is more modest than in other countries in the top 10 HPI rankings, its average wellbeing score is still higher than Hong Kong’s – despite the Vietnamese economy being significantly smaller and Vietnam’s Ecological Footprint being less than a fifth of the size of Hong Kong’s.” “Vietnam has an impressive average life expectancy. Both Vietnam and the Gambia have similar sized economies with similar levels of GDP per capita, yet on … [Read more...] about Vietnam in fifth place in happy planet index rankings

Investigators in grim search for victims as California fires rage

· November 12, 2018 ·

PARADISE: Search teams scoured the carnage of California's most destructive ever wildfire on Sunday (Nov 11), with the state-wide death toll climbing to 25 as high winds and tinder-dry conditions hampered the effort to save lives. Firefighters took advantage of a brief calm overnight to make headway against the multiple blazes, but conditions were expected to be hellish on Sunday with winds reaching as high as 110 kilometres an hour. In fire zones north and south, acrid smoke blanketed the sky for miles, the sun barely visible. On the ground, cars caught in the blaze were reduced to metal carcasses, while power lines were gnawed by the flames. The largest inferno - the so-called 'Camp Fire' in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains north of Sacramento - has destroyed 6,700 homes, business and other buildings in the town of Paradise, effectively wiping it off the map. Local sheriff Kory Honea told a news conference late on Saturday 14 more bodies had been found in and … [Read more...] about Investigators in grim search for victims as California fires rage
