The World in Crisis

Radical thoughts for an endangered planet

'The real story of the events and people shaping our world in the 21st century.  Not the world of the conspiracy theorist or the doctored and distorted world of social media.  No left or right wing bias.  Just independent, objective analysis of life on Planet Earth - sometimes bizarre, sometimes hilarious, sometimes downright mad - as the climate crisis bears down on us.  Plus analysis of the radical changes we need to make if we are to survive'

You can follow the link below and have a read of his thoughtful and well written blog.  He has published an article by me too, about the island's victory over the proposed expansion of fish farms around our coasts.  

I've included the intro below, go and read the rest.  Just scroll down, it's easy to find.  A more serious look at our peaceful little island

The Short Read - A 'feel good' post from the Greek  Islands

Poros is a Greek island paradise a few hours out of Athens in the Saronic Gulf.  It's just as you would imagine it in mid-summer, humming with tourists and a chorus of cicadas, clear blue skies and clean blue seas.  This little paradise has been threatened in the last few years with new regulations which would have turned it into an industrial zone, enabling fish farming to increase by 8 times over.  The island already has 4 fish farms breeding sea bass and sea bream.  Avramar, the multinational company which runs the fish farming here, planned an eightfold expansion of it's operations.

Poros Greece

I'm writing another piece about Poros but it's not coming together easily.  Poros is supposed to become one of Greece's 'Green Islands' with electric taxis, cars and car ferries too I think.  We do have an electric powered bus but progress seems to be very slow.  There's a long way to go.  Even our recycling leaves a lot to be desired.  They're far better organised across the straits on the mainland.

It was announced in 2023 that Poros would be the 3rd island to be included in the Gr-Eco Sustainability programme.

But, I'll leave that subject there for now while I try and sort out exactly what is happening
