The two days, celebrated on June 5 and 6 respectively, were charged with a highly reflective dynamic on the best strategy to undertake immediately, with a view to preserving our natural resources and our cities against the household waste mafia
The Press —A country that does not respect its trees and whose children do not get used to greenery from a young age, and the government does not impose a love of nature on its subjects is not worthy of being cited among the developed nations.
In Tunisia, the preservation of natural resources and the sustainable protection of the environment have been elevated to the status of essential foundations of the general policy of social, political, cultural and economic promotion. On the basis of an approach to the management of public affairs which tirelessly campaigns so that Tunisians take charge of themselves and can deserve the label of friends of the environment.
A quality whose acquisition cannot in any way be exclusively the responsibility of the government, but rather a mission to be assumed by the entire national community. Starting with the family when the child takes his first steps, with the daycare and the kindergarten when our cherubs leave the family cocoon for the first time, with the primary school where the little ones learn to love nature, and finally with the university which trains the elites, whose primary responsibility is to elevate the homeland to the heights of excellence.
For Tunisians perfectly educated on the glorification of the tree despite all attempts at deception and praise of “immoral” pollution, Labib is still alive, and he will never die.
Ennahli Park and the avenues of the Environment still persist. And even if unconscious leaders still continue their dirty work, we remain attentive to any initiative, wherever it comes from, tending to reconcile the Tunisian citizen with his cultural, civilizational and religious legacy.
On June 5 and 6, on the occasion of the national and world environment days, a high-quality debate, under the banner “Act today, let the impact continue”, under the banner of the Ministry of the Environment and at the headquarters of the Cité de la Culture (are we obliged to to identify the symbolism relating to the choice of the orchard of culture and human rights?), we have found the enthusiasm, admittedly in a muted tone, in recent years, manifested by the patriots who adore the Green and will never accept that it is insulted by anyone.
We are therefore right to say that the Environment and the City can now feel proud of the good days that await them. And this, even if many financial difficulties still slow down the consecration of the national environmental project.
At the level of the Ministries of the Environment and Agriculture where the issue is still being raised, the municipalities and also civil society associations specializing in monitoring ecological take-off projects, the mobilization was strong and pushed to create the optimal conditions necessary for the transformation of the country’s image, as a global ecological destination, commensurate with the reputation of which it is worthy.
