There are two big positive reasons I think Estonia is important to the world and what the rest of us can learn from Estonians. First, Estonia is very environmentally friendly with a lot of green space and government initiatives and second, are its entrepreneurial advances in technology.
Environmentally friendly - global warming is a big concern to my generation and I feel that we can learn a lot from Estonia. It is a small country and has many green initiatives, which the government supports, to fix and manage a carbon footprint. Over half of Estonia’s land area is covered by forest, which contributes to high air quality. The World Health Organization ranked Estonia’s air as some of the cleanest air in the world. “According to the 2016 Environmental Performance Index, which ranks 180 countries on how they protect human health and ecosystems, Estonia is the eighth most environmentally friendly country on Earth”. EWR Silver Tambur, 2016 “The government has committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 70% in 2030 relative to their 1990 levels and is aiming to achieve climate neutrality by 2050”.
