Going Green to Survive
Most of you know by now that the Maldives is at risk of disappearing soon as a result of rising seas due to global warming. This has sparked President Mohamed Nasheed to announce a plan to make the Maldives the world´s first carbon-neutral country in the world.
Under the plan, the Maldives would generate electricity with wind turbines and solar panels and buy emissions credits from the E.U. to offset air travel for the estimated 600,000 tourists who visit the islands each year.
So for those of you who would still like to see and enjoy the islands of the Maldives while they are still accessible, best you start saving up for that holiday of a lifetime and spread the word on living the liveeco lifestyle so that our children´s children still have somewhere to vacation!
