    This almost sounds like a fairy tale, and it goes to demonstrate that all we have to do in order to solve our eco problems is commit to making a change. Samso appears to be a gorgeous place to live, and is setting a great example. Hopefully this will inspire larger countries to develop green initiatives.

    well it would be nice if but it’s not carbon neutral (i guess) since the production of solar power panels and wind turbines normally uses conventional power - not carbon neutral.

    Great article, beautiful pictures, thanks.

    You should change “it’s” to “its” in your first sentence.

    Why is the United States the last in all of this? We really need to step it up, everyone is doing more for the planet than us it seems.

    I think this has to be the coolest island in the world. I am mighty impressed. Please take some initiatives to send out this information to the rest of the developed and developing world. PLEASE.

    Cheers

    The people of Samso are truly inspiring and so is the government of Denmark. Thank you for spreading the word.

    I interviewed Sim Van der Ryn, a leading ecological architect, this week and the subject of Samso came up as a great example of local cooperation for the greater good.
