I have read this article with cautious and i was not happy of the approaches being written due i guess to lack of real understanding of current environmental issues we are facing. The problem of pollution will not be tackled only through fundings bec most of the money used is not appropriately used and if ever used we seek the traditional methods the old fashion way. We need to look at alternatives , less costs , better and more sustainable output. Waste problems are derived from mass consumerism and lack of understanding of what our lives should mean to us as far as human values and choices we should take in life. Building waste water treatment is needed but what is more needed is eduation and awereness and return to ethics and values. We can keep dumping money on projects but who would assure me that our resources are being well taken care of and not depleted in a fast way? Where is the concept of sustainibility?

I was discussing that matter with friends just a couple of days ago !! about the effect of the psychological state of a person on his production and success.... it all started when I was reading a book for john gray named "how to get what you want and want what you have" and my eyes fell on this phrase "if you want to be a successful person then you need to be connected to your inside, you need to have inner peace with yourself".the problem is that in our oriental community it's not common to consult a psychiatrist and some people consider it a shame!
