Gross Domestic Happiness.
At first this sounded like a joke, but a Conservative group in Britain suggests eliminating Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in favor of something even better:
The group will also suggest scrapping Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as a measure of the nation’s success in favour of a model that measures people’s happiness drawn up up by Friends of the Earth.
Unfortunately I think that happiness measure will drop quickly when they implement the rest of their energy conservation plan:
THE Conservatives will propose banning plasma screens and other energy-guzzling electrical goods in a report to be unveiled next week.The proposals target white goods like fridges and freezers, as well as TVs, personal computers and DVD players that use too much energy or operate on stand-by.
There's no better way to make people happy than by eliminating household appliances and all forms of home entertainment.
Tip of the hat to small dead animals.
