First i want you guys to follow this link and see for yourselves how much the environment has changed in Kuwait. There you would find a satellite picture of Kuwait from 1972, and another one taken in 1997. It is very clear the extent of the environmental damage that has occurred in this country.
Also, a very disturbing statistic shows that Kuwait is ranked as the third most country with both high CO2 emissions per capita and having an extremely high ecological footprint.
The situation in Kuwait isn't pretty indeed and not a lot of people are doing much about it. We have a Kuwaiti Environment Public Authority, but they misspelled environment in the websites banner so am not so sure about it, for that and many other reasons.
The only thing nice i found about Kuwait on google was Alsirhan.com a site documenting all the wildlife in Kuwait. Check it out and learn more about our nature and wildlife, its interesting to see the different animals and birds and plants that share this little country with us.
So as the title of this post suggests, i thought that a good idea would be to have a Kuwaiti environmental blog, a place where average Kuwaities can share their thoughts, suggestions and complaints about the current state of our environment. Why? Because isnt this the idea behind blog action day? I mean it's all good and well to write a post about the environment but i believe this shouldn't be a thing that happens once a year, it should be a continuous project to inform people and make them aware of these not so small problems.
So i would like to know if anyone is interested in being a part of this project, i just thought of this blog idea a few minutes ago and i didnt have a lot of time to think it through so all you're suggestions will be heard and you're participation is most welcome. Actually am hoping someone else would like the idea and take it upon themselves to make it real. It could be a thing to work on over the rest of the break (for those of us who have the rest of the week off :D )

Kuwaiti Enviromental Blog would be first step for awareness...Perhaps through this blog not only will give the chance for people to voice their concerns, but also educate them and make them appreciate the enviroment they are living in.
I think you should go ahead with it, it is for a good cause, and I support you.
