Annex 1: The trees need your help
To all unable to read Arabic, I am posting this entry to explain the core of the one that came before it. The trees in Jordan, although few, are in great peril. A new law is to be passed empowering large businesses to clear forests and rangelands in order to establish investments. This is a real cause that calls for action, and now is not the time to blame the system. We either support the system, or help the environment. I opt for the latter.
Kindly sign the petition here. Help stop the killing of trees.


I signed the petition a few days ago. I would also like to see some sort of beautification ordinance put in place that not only refrained developers from tearing down the few remaining trees, but also required the planting of trees throughout the city.
