There's been much talk in the media of entire nations going green over the last few years?big countries moving towards big change. Just look at the convention the Greensburg residents attend in Chicago. But what about the small ones, that don't have the power and resources to make as large a splash? Well, even though they're facing some of the toughest obstacles, it turns out that any country can go green, no matter the size. The following is a list of some of the smallest countries in the world that are hoping to make a big impact.
Iceland?Despite have a population of around one million people, Iceland has some of the most radical green projects in the world: there's the huge geothermal power stations, the hydrogen powered buses, and houses that give a whole new meaning to 'green living.'
Armenia?This Middle Eastern nation is home to a scant 3.5 million citizens, yet it's home to one of the few nuclear power plants in the region. But perhaps not for long: Armenia has announced plans to shut down its nuclear power plant and switch to alternative energy sources by 2014.
Luxembourg? This tiny nation in the middle of Europe is home to one of the oddest?and most organic?greening projects we've heard of: A village whose main facilities will be heated entirely by cow dung.
