Northern Kingdoms Part 3
Nature, ecology.
Every Scandinavian is proud of his perfectly preserved nature. Look at the photo - what is the transparency of rivers and lakes, what is the purity of clearings and forests. Where are the familiar "resting places" with piles of bottles and leftovers? It would seem, how did this succeed in a capitalist country? The damned capitalist is vitally interested in maximizing profits, exploiting natural resources and other nasty things! I don’t know, but I think their environmental inspectorate is not collecting bribes for permits, but is really vigilant. As a result, the water in all water taps is the purest, the air is simply sweet. It is interesting that garbage cans are the same everywhere, in the capital, high in the mountains where the Sami live.
Bicycles and yachts.
Part of the ecology : ) We watched the morning run of entire flocks of cyclists to work. I thought, but how do sweaty, sorry, ladies and gentlemen then work? It turns out that showers, locker rooms at work are simply a headache for the employer. There are separate dedicated roads for bikes, and God forbid a pedestrian or a car gets in! Municipal bikes in the parking lots - like a payphone - threw a couple of crowns and yours is great. Is in demand. Yachts are not a luxury, but a means of transportation in a sea country, and even in cities - islands, lakes - beauties.
Regarding local historical sights, castles, museums, natural beauties - fjords, glaciers and waterfalls - it is better to see or read from others once, I will not repeat myself.
I recommend the tour for our politicians who really want good for their people, and not to line their pockets. Guys, why reinvent the wheel and torment the tax code with amendments in the amount of 5000 pieces. ? Go to Scandinavia and study, and we will be happy. ; )
