Clean up Egypt

Clean up Egypt

Pollution is suffocating in Egypt. It is accumulated from many sources. On my recent trip to Egypt last summer I could not believe how much dirt, smug, trash, and sewage you name it are in Egypt.




In Cairo, old cars create so much pollution that make you sick. Not only that but traffic congestion caused by these old running scraps is horrible, making people nervous, angry and frustrated. There is no car emission standard in Egypt. The air quality in Cairo is so bad. I am sure it is the worst in the world. People are suffering from all kinds of respiratory ailments in Egypt.





When I was in Sharm two weeks before it was bombed, I saw the small ships carrying tourists dumping their human waste feces in the in the Red Sea water of Ras Mohamad supposedly
a national protected area. I am sure that kills the coral reeves underneath but that is what they do everyday.

There have to be strict rules to protect the environment in Egypt. I suggest that the government introduces forceful laws to eliminate old cars from the Egypt's roads. They need to conduct an emission test on every vehicle every couple of years, and forbid cars that flunk the test from operation. That is the only way to clean up the roads of Cairo and Alexandria, otherwise the problem will get worse over time. Not only that, but cars should not be allowed to operate if it is older than 15 years. This way the streets will be less congested and the pollution will be reversed.

    second on Amr Khaled well I guess they will reshow his show on ART America as I read there is huge demand on it
    You right about Khaled yet he wasn't so radical like other shekihs but I guess he was still using some of old techniques to say the information
    Really he changed alot since the beginning and he himself says so and it is good for a person to see what is wrong in him and correct it
    Third about Pollution well what can I say ,everything is polluted not only environment but also the people
