World’s greenest countries-70 % of Bhutan is greenery and carbon sink
- Carbon sinks, 70% forest cover, powered almost entirely by mountain streams—Bhutan is a poster child for green living.
- It is the only country in the world that is carbon negative
- Bhutan generates about 2.2 million tonnes of carbon annually, yet its forests absorb three times this amount, which creates a carbon sink.

2. From your virtual experience and research, how can we improve our country in the sense of zero-carbon-country as inspired from the Bhutan visit and TED Talks ?
ZERO CARBON-Plan for the future
One of the biggest causes of increasing level of carbon is from the car. Therefore, we should we must spread awareness among our people and encourage them by biking, walking, carpooling and using public transit. Furthermore, we can minimize the using of fossil fuel and electronic products. In this case,our country may become zero-carbon-country.
