Each environmental tragedy.. each disaster makes us think on the one hand how small and powerless we are against the physical phenomena and on the other hand how violent we are with our own mother, the earth. BBC Dimensions places the environmental tragedies and disasters over a different place of the earth. For instance, if you compare the seize of the latest floods in Pakistan with the seize of my country you get the following image: Greece - Floods of PakistanIf u want to see more, visit BBC > DIMENSIONS > ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTERS

Wow, that is a really strong and awful image... The descriptions next to the maps certainly don't make it very pleasant! Thank you for the link! People need a visual reminder of what we're doing to the world we live in. How is everyone in Greece doing, Haris?

Thanks for asking Vic Well... prices go up and wages go down... that's the phrase that could describe everything right now.. the VAT got from 21 % to 23 % so everything is expensive... the Government tries to fulfill the wishes of the National Monetary Fund and European Union so we can get some money... argh

What are the people thinking in Greece? Are they hopeful?
