@ Ramez – It’s a tree, not a potted plant to take it out of probably 10 or 15 meters under the earth with it’s roots intact.

I do not see much use with Facebook groups because neither the mudirs nor the labourers use Facebook to keep track of Kuwait’s issues. It’s better to raise these problems with the local MP’s & the EPS.

Ok this is stupid. I know they want to inforce the law but they have to do it smartly not cut-off trees :(

Those workers feehom difasha, they get in and out destroying everything as they go, seen them work. They didn’t clean up everything when they were done, at least get the job done right!

Why are we using J.C Bamford’s stuff for destroying nature? :\

Trees/hedges causing accidents just sounds like a lame excuse to me, i’ve never seen a tree big enough in kuwait to make a blind spot and cause car accidents. Maybe they should start blaming themselves instead of the environment ?

Ramez @ 11:47 am – What is the way to cut a tree without killing it? I have studied Botany but I never came across such a paradox before :)

there are regulation on planting trees mainly because big tree’s roots destroy power and water pipes; that said none of the trees in the pictures above would damage pipes buried one meter below ground.

You’re fighting a losing battle- a dishdasha with a piece of paper, several bengalis and a digger will be coming your way soon and no amount of facebook pressure groups will change their minds.

In my area, Mishref block 5, the Municipality cut down the trees and destroyed the grass in patch of land I planted across from my house. They did the same to my neighbor’s patch but they did nothing about the several huge car ports that were built on government land as well. So how does it make sense to destroy plants yet areas where bricks were laid down and car ports built are not touched??
