The past week has been full of surprises, and yet there's still to come.
On Tuesday March 1st, 2005, the Environmental Hotline was launched to counter the daily destruction ignorance, greed, and malice are incurring on our environment.
The number is: 01 210 510
You can call this number to report environmental damage, abuse, destruction, and so on.
I am not sure if it's a 24hour hotline, but it's a good start nonetheless.
This hotline is running alongside campaigns for environmental protection and sustainable development and tourism.
However, and I say this from first hand experience, none of this will matter if the corruption in Lebanon does not cease, or at least is not allowed to take precedence over the health of the environment. See previous posts for topics on the environment and corruption. Also, see
