Hmmm . . .
I guess I misunderstood the point.
For those of us who gave up the big cities, crowds, sales tax, over regulation, high cost to do business, high cost of water and power and gas, and chose to move to Montana - we did so because we looked at the increase in our quality of life - and not the increase of the planet's quality of life (which, as individuals, we have no ultimate control over).
Yes, we are doing MUCH better, living on less, having more money after the end of the month, and breathing quality air, drinking pristine water, and enjoying nature like we have never seen (except on National Geographic).
No, I would not consider moving to Norway. I will live my years out here in Montana, and be buried for less than $99 in a pine box on free land.
When I see the price of small motor homes selling for $100,000 and up, I think of the Tiny House concept for less money, and placing it on a few acres in Montana where we can hear our natural neighbors. But for now, I am not counting the heads of the birds, bees, and trees as much as I am counting the yesterdays that I have enjoyed here.
