Although this small country in Africa is not a well-known one, it is definitely among those countries going green. One of Mauritius’ goals is to focus on reusing and recycling. Also, instead of dumping or storing solid waste, it will now be burned. In addition, there is a lot of emphasis on wind energy and creating fuel from sugar cane plants. It all comes down to government policy and the will of the voters, and in this little corner of the world, green comes before big business and unrestrained pollution.
