Little is actually being done to reduce pollution levels, let alone stop it. Not to mention the sad fact that relatively few Arab countries provide recycling services, and in those few countries only few people do actually use those services, and among those only few do it correctly. But it has to be said though, that the attention recycling is getting has been growing over the years. Taking the country I live in currently, Tunisia, as an example, 3 years ago, I looked really stupid when I used to separate my plastic waste from the rest of my garbage, since there were no recycling services provided to the public. Now the project that started 2 years ago as a contest to spread awareness has turned out to be a big success and there are plastic-waste containers almost everywhere now for the public to comfortably fill with plastic waste. That’s besides the brochures that are being given away for free from many shopping centers and stores to spread awareness and give tips to citizens on how to reduce waste, save energy and recycle … As for other Arab countries, many is being done to spread environmental awareness, and I’m sure you can find info on other blogs of any country you choose. It’s to be noted though, that the Arab Environment Day took place yesterday, its theme was: ‘Secure Management of Chemicals’.” See Aquacool’s post on Environment Action Day in the Arab World here.

Arabic was not even a language of use in the official website. However I still believe we are moving in the right direction, slowly.

I tell her it's a function of quixotic belief rather than practicality, an obsessive-compulsive action she performs weekly--it's a bit like re-arranging those sliding deck chairs on the "Titantic." Or joining the Children's Crusade. She responds that I'm a cynic and if the world were filled with the likes of me, where would it be? (Right where it is, say I. :) ) Still, I salute you both for an idealism in which I am so sadly lacking. After all, as I recently read somewhere, It isn’t the gesture that lasts, but it dresses you again in gold armor -from breast to knees- and the battle was so pure an Angel wears it after you. Cheers, J. My wife does the same thing, Eman.

Still, I salute you both for an idealism in which I am so sadly lacking. After all, as I recently read somewhere,
It isn’t the gesture that lasts,
but it dresses you again in gold
armor -from breast to knees-
and the battle was so pure
an Angel wears it after you.

Cheers,

J.
