Some might inculpate the developing and emerging
countries for massively destroying the environment and neglecting
environmental protection with the aim to compete with the industrialized
countries. However, who is really responsible for the ecological dilemma we are
in?
The Greendex, an Annual Survey made by the National Geographic Society showed the most environmentally friendly countries in the world
in 2010.
And the Greendex goes to...India!!
The objective of the survey Greendex is
the establishment of regular quantitative measures of consumer behavior and the
promotion of sustainable consumption. Within the framework of this study,
17,000 consumers were interrogated in 17 countries. They were asked about their
behavior in relation to energy use, conservation, transportation preferences,
food sources, the use of green vs. traditional products, attitudes regarding
the sustainability and awareness of environmental issues.
