- British Study award Costa Ricans as the happiest people in the planet:

Britain’s New Economics Foundation (NEF) in their Happy Planet Index (HPI) – (a list that ranks nations by combining measures of their ecological footprint with the happiness of their citizens) awarded Costa Rica as the greenest and happiest country in the world. Aspublished by Ashley Seager for guardian.co.uk: “NEF says the HPI is a much better way of looking the success of countries than through standard measures of economic growth. The HPI shows, for example, that fast-growing economies such as the US, China and India were all greener and happier 20 years ago than they are today… Costa Ricans top the list because they report the highest life satisfaction in the world, they live slightly longer than Americans, yet have an ecological footprint that is less than a quarter the size.”
