July/August 2001

The results showed that more than 90% of those included in the survey demand more strict laws to preserve the environment, even if that meant imposing some restrictions. The results also indicated that more than 80% were prepared to take personal environmentally friendly actions to contribute towards protecting the environment such as using public transportation, switching to unleaded fuel and conserving water and electricity. 77% agreed to pay taxes that are allocated to protecting the environment.

Very early on, we received suggestions from many readers to include Environment & Development’s audience within an Arab Environment Forum, united by the same vision and interests. | | more... | |
