A letter to all Lebanese people

A fellow blogger and photographer (Antoine Khater) uploaded a photo of La Marina Dbayeh yesterday showing how dirty the sea shore is there!

He accompanied the photo with the following message:

I was today at Marina Dbayeh a beautiful spot of Lebanon where I take a lot of my pictures.

Look at it, come one this is what we are ? this is our civilization ? Trash everywhere I can’t believe it!

I took my children with me hoping they will get some good time on the beach. I didn’t even let them move I was so afraid for them.

This is simply not acceptable something should be done.

Check the photo below, you can’t but agree with him! I hope his message reaches any of our officials!

    The problem is that social responsibility is not harnessed and encouraged here in Lebanon. Where are the governemental agencies ( if nothing else they can impose fines for littering and repay all our public debt 3 times over)? Where are environmental agencies? When will the Lebanese themselves see that is all too obvious: All our beaches are overflowing with garbage, because we consume and mindlessly throw away!

    I personally always yell at my friends if they even attempt to throw something outside the garbage bin. Small things build up, this is what I beleive in. Here many people believe that paying sukleen to clean after you is teh solution.

    Since when does La Marina Dbayeh have a sandy beach?
    I guess the above pictures were taken at Nahr El Kalb’s river mouth, south of the Zouk power plant.
    Good Luck with the responsible authorites…

    ah yes the dirt problem, i recently learned of many public beaches, they’re amazing, but they’re dirty. people don’t understand the concept of keeping a place (that they keep revisiting) clean

    plus, littering, oh that is a big problem
