Coinciding with the World Environmental Day, June 5th 2010, was a statistic I read today that 96% of household waste in Sweden is recycled as material or as energy. Place a dot between the 9 and the 6 and we are in the UAE. Being way bottom is actually good, as you don't have to fall any further. But seriously, how does one start in a country that knows not the concept of reuse, as this is a third-world term, and not one associated with oil-affluence?
One starts with one person. Just like all revolutions start with one person's evolution. EEG seems to be doing a great job in this respect and I think our organization should be proud of supporting them. However, external support is secondary. How can we help in a less recognized, but actually more effective manner?
Turn vegetarian, and if you live alone, turn vegan.
