Ecological Footprints

I just came across this picture while researching about sustainability. I think such visualizations are a remarkable way to help people understand their actions' impact on the environment. Such methods can be used to empower people with the knowledge and thus the choice, e.g. of what products to buy, which appliances should be turned off, how should products be treated when they are no longer needed, etc.

Back on Track!

After more than a year of posting nothing, I'm back! As you see, most of the posts below were about the 2006 war which I happened to experience in Beirut after leaving Sweden and before leaving for Switzerland. This made this blog seem to be too violent for the mild viewers - sorry for that! The war is more than a year over now and and hopefully there will be no need for war-related blogs anymore!

I spent this weekend to put my new Lebanese Arabic site online, so please take a look and I'm happy to receive your feedback. As you can see it's still in an early stage, but more content will be added every week. I already started a Lebanese Arabic reference grammar and bilingual dictionaries from Lebanese Arabic into 5 European languages (English, French, Spanish, German, and Swedish) and vice versa. The next steps will be to add content to the grammar and dictionaries plus add word-search and word-quiz functionalities. Again, your feedback is very welcome.
