I would like to put the lights on a bit on a major wasted resource of energy ,that our governement is ignoring,instead of taking advantage of it,wich is that GREAT MOUNTAIN OF GARBAGE IN DORA SEA SIDE AREA.
The fact is i just got married,and i am actually afraid on my children future from this huge disaster,wich is day by day assembeling and forming a deadly gas to the human been and the nature too.
so what i suggest is that they use these garbages to empower the green lands, or to use it into generating energy.
i ask european neighborhood to take this project and eliminate the danger by transforming it,into a usefull source of life

It is important and essential to Lebanon who is facing an electricity shortages due to high demands and mismanagement of its resources to shift into renewable energy by all means since the country is under the sun for at least 300 days and its wind potentials are very efficient on 25 per cent of its territories..Great work can be done but the government needs to lift the ban on generating electricity from clean energy...a law is needed in this regard.

I would like to be brief and thank Europa Jaratona program for its achievments in Jordan.

It is good to hear that there is someone who really cares about our historical monuments. While reading the article, I was hoping to find so many Tunisian names to make sure that, also, in our country there are people who are hell-bent on preserving what is left of a glorious history. Tunisia, thanks to its location, welcomed many civilizations whose leaders built huge and glorious buildings. Not only in cities near the shores, but also in the far west cities like Sbitla, Kasserin...
I believe that in order to save the surviving monuments, there should be a campaign to make Tunisians aware of the significance of such a loss if those buildings become ruins.

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?

Great work from the EU, but I have a small question: Lebanon has a great fortune named water but, unfortunately, this wealth does not have any value since the government didn't think to invest in it to produce Energy and Electricity. The reasons are of course the political situation and the corruption in the country... But I wonder can the EU fund a project to help the government to produce the Electricity from the water? So we can avoid the use of the expensive Fuel and so we can balance somehow the financial situation of the country!
