Jomolhari, 1994Seventy two percent of Bhutan is under pristine forest cover. Our constitution decrees that a minimum of sixty percent of Bhutan's total land shall remain under forest cover for all time Thats why we are one of the few remaining global biodiversity hotspots in the world. Our entire country generates 2. 2 million tons of carbon dioxide, but our forests, they sequester more than three times that amount, so we are a net carbon sink for more than four

Seventy-two percent of Bhutan is under pristine forest cover. Our constitution decrees that a minimum of sixty percent of Bhutan's total land shall remain under forest cover for all time...

...That’s why we are one of the few remaining global biodiversity hotspots in the world.

Our entire country generates 2.2 million tons of carbon dioxide, but our forests, they sequester more than three times that amount, so we are a net carbon sink for more than four million tons of carbon dioxide each year. Of the 200-odd countries in a world threatened with climate change, it looks like we are the only one that's carbon neutral.

We export most of the renewable hydro-electricity we generate from our fast-flowing rivers. The clean energy that we export offsets about six million tons of carbon dioxide. By 2020, we'll be exporting enough electricity to offset 17 million tons of carbon dioxide. And if we were to harness even half our hydropower potential, and that's exactly what we are working at, the clean, green energy that we export would offset something like 50 million tons of carbon dioxide a year. That is more CO2 than the entire city of New York generates in one year.

The world is getting warmer, and climate is affecting my country. Our glaciers are melting, causing flash floods and landslides, which in turn are causing disaster and widespread destruction in the valleys below. My country and my people have done nothing to contribute to global warming, but we are already bearing the brunt of its consequences.

We are providing free electricity to our rural farmers. The idea is that, with free electricity, they will no longer have to use firewood to cook their food. We are investing in sustainable transport and subsidizing the purchase of electric vehicles. Similarly, we are subsidizing the cost of LED lights, and our entire government is going paperless while planting trees throughout our country.

Our protected areas are our carbon sink. They are our lungs. Today, more than half our country is protected, as national parks, nature reserves and wildlife sanctuaries. But the beauty is that we've connected them all with one another through a network of biological corridors. Now, what this means is that our animals are free to roam throughout our country. Every year, we set aside resources to prevent poaching, hunting, mining and pollution in our parks, and resources to help communities who live in those parks manage their forests, adapt to climate change, and lead better lives while continuing to live in harmony with Mother Nature.

- Lyonpo Tshering Tobgay, Prime Minister of Bhutan

PHOTO PRINTS
Prints are on Hahnemuhle heavyweight (315 gsm) 100% archival cotton “Photo Rag Baryta” paper, using archival inks and archival spray coating. They have a 200-year life expectancy before any deterioration of the print will be observed when stored, handled, and displayed under archival conditions.

CANVAS PRINTS
What is often called “Gallery Wrap Canvas” is a fine art inkjet (Giclee) print on canvas, with printed edges to wrap around a wooden stretcher frame, like a painting. With canvas prints, your print image is still the same size, but given a "wrap effect" around the edges to account for the thickness of the stretcher. Canvas can be rolled and shipped with no effect to the print. Your local framing shop should be able to mount the canvas to stretchers at a fraction of the cost of traditional framing, making for an overall more economical way to get fine art on your wall. The canvas is printed to wrap around a 1-inch stretcher (1.5 inches on larger sizes). Specifications will be provided with your order. Feel free to contact us if you need guidance with your canvas order.

Morrison Finishing With Style!
Format: Hardcover
The exciting conclusion to Morrison's fantastic, fascinating, and F***ing awesome Batman and Robin run. Bringing together all of the pieces of his past stories to a head and blowing it all up in your face! Not only is the book amazing in the way it delivers a great pay off to a satisfying story it also offers an amazing ride on the way there. On top of all that there is some fantastic behind the scenes stuff in the deluxe edition that offers some in site into Grant Morrison's creative process, and the execution of ideas + this book has some great joker moments and also sets up Batman Inc with the conclusion of his Batman and robin story, along with the nice inclusion of "Batman the return" a nice one shot that sets things up for the future. All in all well worth the wait, and is a must have for anyone following Morrison's run on Batman.
