Now the big surprise for me that among the top clean green in the world we have Costa Rica !! Anyhow this is not our issue here , our issue here is Egypt and its location from environment ; is it a friendly country to environment or hostile one !!? Of course all indicators support the second choice. well actually it turned out that we are not so bad but not so good. Our Egypt's ranking is no.68 for a score of 62 in 2010, it is better than our previous score in 2008 where our ranking was no.71 for a score of 76.3.

Dear Zenobia,
ReplyDeleteI dont understand, you say the highest score is 100, BUT:
"Our Egypt's ranking is no.68 for a score of 62 in 2010, it is better than our previous score in 2008 where our ranking was no.71 for a score of 76.3. "
I dont see it is better, since we got 62 which is less than 76.3. It seems that other countries are worse than last year, no more.
Moreover we got 100 for "forestry" (which is strange since we dont have any forest) and we are ranked 50!!
I am sorry, but I have to ask: am I missing something, or maybe I dont understand the statistics
@Bata, believe me I share with you the same feeling , it is very sad thing
ReplyDelete@Dear Sakrquraysh , it is vice versa , 100 is the highest you will find Iceland and costra Rica have 100 as a score
I do not get the forestry thing still you will find similiar countries from the region share with us this score
Egypt is the most horrible place i have been in plus it extremely dirtiest! What a fuck country! Don't known what I was thinking when I went there omg!
