Switzerland: The World's Cleanest Country

According various international reports, Switzerland has constantly placed in the top three places, making it one of the cleanest, if not the cleanest countries in the world. Switzerland has been admired by many countries of the European Union. They have tried to model after Switzerland's economic, education, and preservation system. Switzerland is indeed one of the richest countries in the world. An average citizen in the nation has over $90,000 on average. That number is nearly twice the average wealth of an American. It is natural for a rich country to rely on hydrocarbon-based fuels and damage the environment for the sake of the economy. However, this is not the case with Switzerland. The country has a very unstable ecosystem because of the altitude and location of the nation. Fortunately, because the government is pouring money into the environment and science sectors, the country is coming up with ingenuous ways to protect those fragile ecosystems. Switzerland is a country that must be modeled after by many of the richest nations. It is the closest nation to an environmental utopia.
