• How can these two nations teach large and developed nations how to live sustainable lives? What cautionary tales/lessons should the world be paying attention to from these two leaders?
• What were the most memorable moments from both TED Talks for you?
• What do you think about measuring wealth in GNH instead of GNP?
• How would free education and medicine improve environmental health?
