Voor de rest: link gaat naar een filmpje waarin ergens in een woestijn zogezegd 7 miljoen autobanden in brand gestoken worden.

Niet zomaar ergens in de woestijn, ergens bij Jahra (wslk distrikt* bedoelt) een stad op 32 km van Koeweit City.

Over 7 million tires being burned in Jahra, Kuwait City

Elk jaar zijn er miljoenen autobanden die versleten raken, maar waar worden d
ie allemaal opgeborgen? Meer dan 7 miljoen daarvan werden alvast teruggevonden in de woestijn van Koeweit en die werden allemaal vrolijk in brand gestoken.

Heb jij dan woorden voor dat feit ?

Ik sta er alleszins verstomd van dat zoiets in Koeweit plaatsvindt (al is het in de woestijn en de wind staat dagenlang richting Irak ofzo?...

Is dat om toeristen te lokken ?

About Environment and energy
Environment and Energy are essential for sustainable development. The poor are disproportionately affected by environmental degradation and lack of access to clean, affordable energy services. These issues are also global as climate change, loss of biodiversity and ozone layer depletion cannot be addressed by countries acting alone. UNDP helps countries strengthen their capacity to address these challenges at global, national and community levels, seeking out and sharing best practices, providing innovative policy advice and linking partners through pilot projects that help poor people build sustainable livelihoods.

UNDP Kuwait and Environment and Energy
The State of Kuwait’s rapid economic growth has both burdened the environment and left it lagging behind other areas of progress. The attainment of the Millennium Development Goal 7 of Ensuring Environmental Sustainability remains to be challenge with outdated environmental laws and regulations, lack of coordination between institutions, limited institutional capacities and lack of public information on environmental issues.
UNDP Kuwait has focused on upstream strategic interventions with the formulation of the National Environmental Strategic Plan and the current efforts to strengthen the institutional performance of the Environmental Public Authority (EPA) enabling it to meet its mandate and obligations. It has also contributed to the development of the first Kuwait Integrated Environmental Information Network providing specialists and the public with access to updated and reliable demographic and environmental information, using Geographic Information System (GIS) technologies. UNDP Kuwait is currently very active in planning and very soon implementing Kuwait Integrated Environmental Management (KIEM) project which is to design a clear regulatory framework that provides guidance for promulgation of Kuwait environmental law with special attention to air quality emissions.
