Time passes, but memories remain.
Two weeks ago, our family was in Rovies, Evia, when the catastrophic fire in Evia started. I sit, reflecting on what could have been, and what came to be. There are always the “whys” and “because” following events of disastrous proportion. Let it suffice to say that many people in Evia and elsewhere performed philanthropic and ecological deeds that took extraordinary courage and effort. On the other hand, the mechanisms of mass media frequently portrayed the inferno with “climate change” and “evacuation,” without commenting on the “why” and absence of adequate resources.
Certain government figures have stated that Greece is headed towards a carbon-free environment. I invite my readers to visit Rafina during the summer, when the ships release sulfur dioxide into the air at random, even though the European Union and the International Maritime Organization have passed regulations proscribing that form of pollution. Carbon-free?
Who will, how will the ecological balance be restored? Untold casualties of biological agriculture, beekeeping, oxygen generated by pristine deciduous and coniferous forests… Most importantly, how do displaced people restart their lives? The mental and physical casualties will predominate for years…
