Bhutan leads the way

I came across this article from NPR recently:

Bhutan has pledged to become a 100% organic country, banning the use of all synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, etc.  Although there is some opposition within the government, I am impressed that they are even having this conversation.

And it turns out that Sikkim State in India is also on track to be 100% organic by 2015.
