EDITORIAL

Learning to treasure our water The fact that Greece ranks second after the United States on a global scale in per capita water consumption goes to show that wastage must be on a massive scale. This senseless use of water is visible all around us: The pipe networks are poorly maintained and leaks occur all the time. Farmers contribute by watering their crops during the warm midday hours. Industries, large and small, as well as ordinary consumers use this precious resource without forethought.

EDITORIAL:AthensPlus

Athens’s parallel universe Transportation in Athens is one of the most important things determining the quality of life of its residents and the memories that visitors take home with them. Cars - parked or in motion - swarm over every inch of road and sidewalk. Motorcycles rumble and screech between vehicles and pedestrians, ignoring all laws and all logic. Delivery trucks, disgorging clouds of diesel fumes, block traffic lanes whenever and wherever they see fit.
