A friend of mine sent me the below photo today asking me to publish it on the blog.
This is an insane environmental crime! I pity the Zouk inhabitants who have to breath these toxins every single day. All politicians know very well that these factories need to be replaced as soon as possible, and they all go on TV to talk about the problem but none of them suggests a solution. Screw you Lebanese parliament members, I am proud I did not vote to anyone of you.
This is terrible! I see this daily from my house. Whenever you’re going down from the mountains towards the coast, you see a gray gradient between the sea and the sky. Same view when I went to Sannine. The horizon always has a gray part. This is very sad. But come on Rami, who cares about pollution when our politicians are busy with way more important issues?
Oufff I can smell it all the way to the UAE!
What’s sad is all that smoke and still not enough power – that’s incredibly pathetic.
oh yeah i did see that from far away! thought it was fire or something.
The funny thing is that it’s not only too polluting but also we don’t have electricity. What a joke!
@Jad Aoun Hahaha well said!
The NDU must suffer. What a bad place to put a electricity plant in the first place!!
we agree completely. please visit and support our petition on facebook to try and put an end to this horrid catastrophe: Petition to Reduce Pollution Caused by Zouk Power Plant. please tell your friends, family and colleagues. if nothing else then for the sake of our children, we owe it to them to give them clean air to breathe!
