Finn here, our number seems to be 3,6 earths. Sustainability means many things tho, and we're certainly one of the top countries in material recycling and planting forests. Other Nordic countries have their strengths, for example the geothermal energy in Iceland and wind power and car free city designs in Denmark. We all have remarkably clean air and nature too. But yeah, we're capitalist countries that have historically benefitted from imperialism, and we buy terrible amounts of unnecessary plastics and electronics from the other side of the planet and then throw them away next year when a new model is released. I try to be optimistic about future but it's not always easy.
What about the nordic countries. They are often presented as the most sustainable countries, but I'm pretty sure it's bullshit.
it is bullshit. Germany is the same as basically all of europe
