My ice cream taste like burnt plastic. Thanks America.
1. Pay-As-You-Throw I know some states already do this, but Switzerland does it better; America needs to implement greater recycling in more areas
2. Bio-methane powered buses, Norway is only using human waste but America has the power of beef and mutton too
3. Population growth, Bulgaria has the right idea
4. Youth (15-24) Unemployment, we need Germany’s efficiency
5. Migration rate, we should follow Chile’s example until we get it together
6. Obesity rate, Japan is around 3%, and here is some reasons why
7. Literacy & grade-school education, U.S. might be ranked Top 4 countries with the best universities, but many countries have a literacy rate of 99% – a lie in my opinion, Dr. Seuss doesn’t count.
8. Healthcare plan: France, Japan, Australia
9. Consumption of: natural gas – Cameroon, oil – Costa Rica @ 50k barrels/day, electricity – CR, Japan, Iceland
10. Public debt – Russia
11. Public Transportation – Hong Kong, Tokyo, Brazil, Copenhagen
12. Bicycle Friendly Cities – Amsterdam!
14. Ranking of the best – America is #11
15. Divorce Rates – arranged marriage is the way to go in India
16. Abortions vs. Prevention – it seems the U.S. is in a race with Russia, Vietnam, and Greenland. We have the resources but let the cost of contraceptives and religion get in the way.
17. Vacations, Holidays, Time Off – Europe
