Chance to Travel to Cuba and Learn Something!

Instead of spouting off M$M bullshit about Cuba, take a trip there and find out for yourself...

Cuba : Environmental Protection and Sustainable Development

In its 2006 Sustainability Index Report, the World Wildlife Fund, utilizing a combination of the United Nations Human Development Index (a measure of how well a nation is meeting its nutrition, water, health care, and education needs, etc.) and the Ecological Footprint (natural resource use per capita) determined that there is only one nation in the world that is currently living sustainably -- and that nation is CUBA.

How did Cuba, a small island nation of 11,000,000 people, struggling with issues of poverty, the U.S. embargo, and devastating annual hurricanes, achieve this extraordinary distinction? And what can environmentalists in the U.S. learn from Cuba's struggles and successes?

"As early as 1989, Cuba ranked 11th in the world in the Overseas Development Council's Physical Quality of Life Index, (which includes infant mortality, life expectancy and literacy) while the U.S. ranked 15th."

1. As you know, some States have banned Cuba travel.

For example, Florida.

In Florida, ANY person who's profession is regulated by the Florida Department of Regulation will lose their license if they travel to Cuba (other than approved OFAC permitted Cuba travel).

That includes Drs, lawyers, manicurists, etc etc.

2. These are OFAC permitted trips...

But you are right, terrible state laws...

I wonder if that's the case here in the New Mississippi - Arizona...
