Top 5 Cleanest Countries in the World
(just people's opinion)

The
environment is a big issue for many of the world’s countries. Billions
are spent on making our world a cleaner place yearly. More policies and
technological advances help, but the people’s cooperation is what is
truly needed. Most do what they can, but some go far and above and aim
to make their country the cleanest and greenest it can possibly be, in
air, water and land. What are these countries that are the hallmarks of
cleanliness?

Your Views on Singapore Countryswiss

1. Switzerland – With an environmental performance index (EPI)
of 95.5, this European country ranks first in cleanliness. The
environment has been in the country’s interest as early as 1876 when it
passed a forestry law. There are many major influential pro-environment
groups in the country. Nearly all electricity comes from dams and
nuclear plants, reducing emissions caused by burning fossil fuels.
Strict standards for exhaust are placed on vehicles to lower air
pollution. The country is also one of the top recyclers in the world,
with stiff penalties levied on offenders. If you want clean, this is
the place to be.

2. Sweden – Coming in second with 93.1 are these two countries. Like Switzerland, almost all power is produced without fossil fuels. A good percentage of Sweden’s forests still stand thanks to the people’s efforts, up to
today. Like most clean countries, they have emission laws in place. Yet
another clean place you can visit!

3. Norway – Tied
with Sweden, Norway still uses some forms of oil to power the nation.
Norway was once a heavy air polluter, but that has changed after Norway
took steps to reduce emissions. A good portion of its land is also
protected. It’s always a good time to visit Norway.

4. Finland – Unlike the first three, Finland still uses fossil fuels for power,
but this is gradually lessening. Finland takes care of its shores,
assigning a majority that can never be built on. Like all the other
now-clean nations, it had a past problem with pollution until the
government decided to act. Now, it’s one of the cleanest places in the
world. I’d love to go there!

5. Costa Rica – It may be unexpected for some, but Costa Rica comes in fifth. This country has a large total area dedicated to parks. Early on in its
history, Costa Rica was already acting to have water and air standards.
Almost a quarter of the country is protected to preserve wildlife, one
of the largest percentages in the world! The nation also contains 5% of
the entire world’s species! The country is generally poor but educated,
and is the most stable country in its region. They still make an effort
for the environment. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t have all those
lovely beachside resort to bring in tourists! They are the most visited place in Central America. Why not come, too?

Yeah I went to Johor a few times, and yah, it was really filthy.
At least now the river's cleaned up. The dead rat was not the worst of it.

S'pore is 12th most expensive city in Asia
By Cheryl Frois, Channel NewsAsia | Posted: 04 December 2008 2051 hrs

Your Views on Singapore Php4zsFf5

SINGAPORE: Singapore is the 12th most expensive city in Asia, according to a global survey on cost of living by international human resource company ECA International.

The country jumped 27 places, and is one of Asia's biggest movers.

Hong Kong was ranked 6th, while Tokyo took the top spot.

For the first time, Beijing overtook Hong Kong as the most expensive Chinese city.

The survey noted that the cost of living for Asian cities such as Beijing, Hong Kong, Singapore and Taipei has gone up in the past year due to fluctuating currency and inflation rates.

Cities all over the world are reeling from exchange rate fluctuations brought on by the economic crisis.

This in turn has a big impact on the average costs of living for expatriates.

Living costs in Hong Kong are now approximately 15 per cent higher than in Singapore, an increase from 12 per cent last year.

According to ECA International, the last two months have seen goods and services in Hong Kong swing from being 10 per cent cheaper than in London to being almost 10 per cent more expensive.

Beijing is now three times more expensive than Singapore compared to last year, while cost of living for foreigners visiting Korea and Singapore is now almost on par.

One of the wildest swings is in Japan.

Goods and services in Japan are now 68 per cent more expensive than in Singapore.

This is up from 43 per cent in September last year.

The unravelling of the carry trade resulting in the strengthening of the Japanese yen is mostly to blame for this.

In contrast, Islamabad is the cheapest location in Asia.

Goods and services there are 70 per cent cheaper than in Japan.

In Europe, Moscow is the most expensive location, replacing Oslo.

The weakening of the pound has seen central London off the list of the world's top ten most expensive cities.

ECA's survey is carried out twice a year and compares a basket of 125 consumer goods and services commonly purchased by expatriates in over 370 locations worldwide.
