Binsky has over 1,45 million subscribers on Youtube. His video on 5 cleanest countries in the world has been seen by almost half a million viewers from all around the world. <\/p><p> Binsky visited Slovenia twice and he was really pleasantly surprised at how clean the country is: \u00ab<em>I\u2019ve been to Slovenia twice, most recently last summer where I had the chance to drive around the entire country and, oh my God, it is one of the greenest places in the world. Slovenia is the third most forested country in Europe and in 2016, it was named the very first certified green destination in the world. I went to a lot of small cities and towns but I think the capital of Ljubljana is a perfect representation of how clean the whole country is. Everything is perfectly maintained, well-kept, people are very respectful, it\u2019s charming, it\u2019s quiet, it\u2019s so green and so enjoyable and speaking about it right now just makes me want to go back there and if you do go to Slovenia, you have to promise me to go up north to Lake Bled<\/em>\u00bb. <\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"bzBrc_B57Ek\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"5 CLEANEST NATIONS ON EARTH\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bzBrc_B57Ek?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Besides Slovenia, Binsky also included New Zeland, Iceland, Singapore, and Rwanda to his list od the world\u2019s cleanest nations.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed-wordpress wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-the-slovenia\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"BNChXzJ8o5\"><a href=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/slovenia\/top-facts-about-slovenian-nature\/\">TOP Facts about Slovenian Nature<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"&#8220;TOP Facts about Slovenian Nature&#8221; &#8212; THE Slovenia\" class=\"wp-embedded-content lazyload\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" data-src=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/slovenia\/top-facts-about-slovenian-nature\/embed\/#?secret=BNChXzJ8o5\" data-secret=\"BNChXzJ8o5\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Slovenia as the World&#8217;s Most Sustainable Country<\/strong><\/h2><p>Slovenia is considered one of the countries that are very environmentally friendly.
