Need to put our house in order
The high cost of fuel, food and money in this country and around the world means that both Greece and its citizens will be finding it increasingly difficult to balance their income and expenditure.
On account of a half percentage point rise in bond interest rates alone, Greece will have to pay up to 350 million euros a year more.
It goes without saying that every household in the country will be facing a similar problem, albeit on a smaller scale. |

Urban lab
The growing desperation with which Athenians watch their surrounding mountains for any sign of smoke is an indication of how degraded life in the capital has become. A year ago, most of the pine and fir forest on Mount Parnitha was destroyed by a fire that started on the other side of the mountain and, through incompetence and mixed signals on the part of the authorities, was allowed to rage out of control. This year, on June 26, a fire broke out in the lush pine forest on the northeastern slopes of Mount Hymettus, among the last bits of a major reforestry project carried out largely by volunteers after World War II, during which the mountain was denuded by Athenians searching for firewood.
