Fantastic site about Cypriot environment

Postby Talisker » Sat Dec 08, 2007 1:24 am

Have a look at this website:

http://www.cypenv.org/

It gives an absolute wealth of information on the Cypriot environment, climate change, tips for saving water, etc, etc. There is access to a video produced by the Press and Information Office of the Republic of Cyprus government devoted to the environment and nature on the island. And there are also fora on any subject related to the environment and climate change, worldwide or specifically about Cyprus.

I saw on the news this morning that the interior of Australia is rapidly drying out and lots of fruit farmers have gone bust. They said that a farmer commits suicide every 4 days. Very sad. But unlike Australia at least we can DO something, and the solar powered salination thingy sounds interesting!!!

As a newbie I don't know the various characters in this forum, so obviously didn't know this about the site for which I provided a link. I understand that Devil recently stopped posting on this forum, which is a shame as he could have contributed a lot to the discussion on this, and other environment-associated, threads. Whatever - I think his site is excellent.

Here are a few ways to save water:

1. Take a bath once a week, even in the summer!

2. Take a bath everyday using the same water, change water weekly!

3. Share a bath with that hot babes that lives down the road.

Within the next 457 years we should have saved 100258458745879236 cubic meters of water, that is to say 1587458,154214,985210,1458719754875,4 ounces of water.

Taken from the Dangaman institute of research and statistical analisis department. Shocked


Emm.... can't really see anybody doing that in a modern world. I searched for this institude, nothing showed up. Maybe it's in the third world or something. Kind of silly institute.... 'danga' means thong in Greek. Who knows?


Cant believe you fell for that

How come some reservoirs have more than last year and some have less? Have they gone up at all since the rain started?
