I'm not sure what the tree felling section is referring to, but it's incorrect. Private citizens can freely cut down trees on their own properties, and logging is a major industry. There are of course exceptions such as designated protected areas as well as some kinds of trees like hollow oaks that are automatically protected.

You can't freely cut down trees on private properties, it depends on where you live. If you have neighbors, you must apply for a permit. Farmers, probably different rules. Also depending on the tree and location. And I guess oak trees are protected regardless(?)

It got quite busy.

[@evahelen3511]

It is legal to cut trees, but you must have a permit. If you have your own property and forest, you can cut down as many trees as you want. When they have been removed, new trees are often planted again. I have been involved in felling trees on my own plot and at the cabin. We make toilet paper and houses from our own trees.

[@olsen1986]

We do cut trees here in norway. But we are only "thinning" out the forrest a little bit. By thinning out i mean we for example cut like 1-2 trees out of 5 that grow close together. And then they plant new ones right away. So we have a system that is sustainable. My grandmother is living close to the biggest saw mill in Norway. It's located in a small place called Granvin in Hardanger. Really enjoy watching somebody outside of the border having such admiration towards Norway. You should jump on one of those cruise ships that's visiting here.

Norway is an EEA member though. As an Irish citizen I can live in Norway, but have to stay there three months before I can register with the police to stay more permanently. Through the EEA Agreement, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein are equal partners in the internal market, on the same terms as the EU member states. This includes having access to the internal market’s four freedoms, the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital. In addition, the Agreement covers cooperation in other important areas such as research and development, education, social policy, the environment, consumer protection, tourism and culture.

04:37 That price is actually much closer than I expected it to be, the cheapest prices per gallon that you can get in Norway now is around $7.87, on the most expensive days (the prices vary from day to day, with some days being more expensive and others cheaper) that price would be more like $10.92 a gallon.

The yearly tree donation is not just to Trafalgar Square but several other places in the world (and particularly the UK), however Trafalgar is most prominent (and has the biggest tree and logistics). It has caused at least one controversy where everything didn't go as planned and the tree was in poor shape. That prompted a strong reaction, at least from the Norwegian people! Logistics were revised and greater care is now taken to select trees that not only look good but will last longer (and procedures for conservation during transport).

[@John_1920]

13:00 This also proves in a small way that what the narrator said earlier about tree cutting is obviously wrong, because you'd have to cut the tree down to be able to transport it to a different country to be displayed.

[@johannaringstad3279]

you can both cut and plant treeson your own property, pretty sure it goes for public spaces. there are also companies that are just for planting trees and for making wood

[@LordJossy]

the reason Norway has high prices is that the state taxes everything that is bad for us and the planet, like sugary stuff, tobacco, alcohol, oil, cars palm oil, etc, while giving tax cuts to stuff that is good, like renewable, electric cars etc. Another reason why gas is so expensive is that it has an even higher tax than anything (70-80% taxes on oil companies), to incentivize people to use fewer cars and more public transportation, but also because we realized early that oil is actually a finite resource so its better to tax it and save the money, rather than giving the money to the oil company barons, that have enough already.

The common forrests in Norway where you have lot of the same tree type are replanted forrest where cutting was done years ago. It's essentially a field of trees. You just don't notice it's a crop since a tree takes decades to mature into a harvestable size. They are essentially ecological dead zones with little variety. What little is left of Norways old growth forrest is endangered. There are regulations in place and coming. But Norwegian nature is being eaten up bit by bit. A parking lot here, a comcercial lot there, a field of rich peoples second homes (Which they call a cabin, but is just a second house with all facilities and then some) and roads popping up everywhere (Which soon leads to more stuff being built). If you look at a digital map with photos taken years apart it looks like a grey cancer that grows in the green. You don't really notice the problem until it's to late.

Norway has not banned tree cutting. Everyone can cut as many trees as they like as long as the trees are on their properties or if not on your property you get permission from the property owner. The law only means those who cut trees for a business (making planks, paper etc) they have to plant 1 tree for every tree they cut. Which is not much of a problem for those companies since they are already doing that. For regular people this law does not apply

As a norwegian tree cutting is not fully illegal. I still see trees getting cut around the western part of norway. This is mostly because only businesses are allowed to, but they need to alert the government and also get a clarification before cutting. You also need clarification to cut down trees on your very own property, and cannot cut anywhere else as an individual.

01:49 I am not very political, and haven't really read very much - or at all, really - into the reasons for why or why not, but I think this is a very short explanation that might be right - or wrong - on the most basic of reasons: Norway isn't part of the EU itself because, while they share many of Norway's opinions, goals, and perhaps aspirations, there are also some stuff part of the EU that Norway just does not agree with at all. So, instead of becoming a direct member of the EU, Norway decided to form EØS and cooperate with the EU on the areas that Norway does agree with, but remove themselves from areas that they don't agree with.

04:00 Uh, I spend about €1128 in bills each month, then have maybe around €173 in food expenses per month - I think a lot less than that, actually, because I don't buy meats and the name brand products in stores, I buy the cheap brand products and buy the ready made dinners for cheap, - and have plenty of money leftover after that for other things. Maybe if you have an apartment in the middle of Oslo or Trondheim you might be spending a lot more per month because of the significantly higher rent prices, couple that with eating meat and named brand products, you definitely might be spending as much as €2000 per month, but then I'd imagine you would also be making a lot more than that per month, too.

[@Miamia_01]

5 dollar for a water at the super market? Did she say that? That’s not accurate at all.

[@Sherool]

There is definitively a logging industry in Norway so the part about cutting trees being entirely banned is just flat out incorrect. There are some protected areas, but people can cut trees on their property. Clear cutting large areas is not allowed, they have to do it in limited sections and plant new trees, giving them time to grow before doing another section to avoid total deforestation, but that's not the same as banning all tree cutting. Also the fuel price is due to a very high (almost 100%) special carbon emission fee.

[@RoyOlsen]

Norway places additional taxes on harmful products, wether harmful to public health (alcohol, cigarettes) or harmful to the environment (petroleum products, ICE vehicles). Even taking it as far as experimenting with a sugar tax. More than 50% of the price on gas is taxes. On the flip side, some products are heavily incentivised through reduced taxes or direct subsidies, such as electric vehicles, heat pumps and solar power systems.

This video is exaggerating how much money we need to spend on daily life expenses. For one, saying we spend a couple thousand euros on daily life expenses makes it sound like we do it every day, not as monthly life expenses, which makes more sense, but still, even in the context of a month, a couple thousand euros can be a far stretch from how much most Norwegians are likely to spend. Is it expensive here? Yes. For people not getting a Norwegian salary it definitely can be. But it is also certainly not $5 for a small bottle of water here in Norway, no idea if she meant to say it is that expensive in Switzerland. I spend around 850 Euro a month for everything; food, gaming, internet, Netflix/HBO/Prime, rent (I do own my apartment though, so my expenses here are far lower than typical apartment rent and are more like setting aside money for building expenses that may arise), electricity, more snacks than I should be eating, a couple pizzas and burgers, food for my dog. Everything. That'd be around $900. Sometimes I may spend a bit more, sometimes less. Ultimately, keep in mind that prices are set based on salaries. Norwegian salaries are relatively high in value when compared to the salary of a country which pays less to its work force but where wares also cost less in relation to their salaries. And the tree cutting fact is wrong. To a certain extent. You can of course cut down a tree on your property. And "deforestation" is business in Norway as well. We need wood for building materials, furniture, etc. as well. There's rules and regulations in place, but to say it's blank banned is just a false fact.

IKEA is cheap with okay quality, the furniture in my opinion is not comfortable, but the rest is okay, cheap and is perfect for a dorm or a gest room. An IKEA sofa in the Livingroom is a big no no if you want comfort. We can cut down tree's, but not do a deforestation, we try to plant a new tree for every one that get's cut down.

Great video 🙂 Also, I would love it if you made a couple of videos about WW2 in Europe. You could start by watching the video of How many died. Dark but eye-opening.

No, if you are ignorant enough to buy water (which you can get free inddors and in public bathrooms), you pay $1 , not $5 for 500 ml. Norway exports a lot of lumber, and use it in their paper , furniture and housebuilding undutries domestically, this treecutting prohibition exists only in environmenatlly fragile areas. Norway have increased its tree acreage with 40% sinece the 1960s

You need a permit to cut trees, I guess. We still hav forestry, but it's supposed to be sustainable. So you have to replant what you cut as a forest owner, and contribute to the forestry fund. So unchecked cutting of trees is illegal, but not all cutting of trees.

Norway did not want to join. The politicians wanted too join the EU (so they could get more easy money). And the reason why stuff like oil cost more, is because of taxes. So oil from Norway cost less to buy in Sweden. Same with Norwegian fish. Our zero pollution boats, turns out to not work in winter. So they keep needing to use the old boats (that use oil).

As a Norwegian the gass prices is unfortunately true but a bottle of water for $5 no that's wrong you get a bottle of water for 20 krones witch is about $2
