EDITORIAL

Ushering in a new, greener culture The impressive protest rally outside Parliament yesterday calling for the immediate reforestation of Mount Parnitha is a sign of optimism. Greece's civil society is gradually awakening but a demonstration alone is not enough. In the wake of the devastating forest fires that ravaged the area, there is a need for careful monitoring and active participation to reforest what has been lost and protect what is left.

COMMENTARY

It was people who had spread the word via sms and blog messages in what may well be the first bodily manifestation of specific groups in Greece who use the new technologies to communicate. Users of mobile phones, laptops and a range of state-of-the-art gadgets turned up in Syntagma as citizens.
