I HAVE SEEN THE EARTH CHANGE GREECE

SINOPSIS

In the last 10 years, Greece has endured the worst fires in the Mediterranean bassin of this era. Beyond the climatic factors at stake in this tragedy (rise in summer temperatures by 6 degrees, a decrease of rainfalls and a shortage in water resources) a lot could be done to slow down the effects of fire and protect the land and the inhabitants. The most recent fires last summmer near Athen have revealed the scale of the problem and shacked the political establishment. In the Peloponese region alone 30% of the olive trees have been destroyed in a country known to be the 3rd world exporter of olive oil.
