Environmental issues in the Middle East

Hi guys - this whole website (greenprophet.com) about environmental issues in the Middle East is incredibly interesting, but I thought you'd think this article was particularly cool, especially after we talked about Edmund Burke's argument that the people of the Middle East (especially under Muhammad Ali - the ruler of Egypt, not the boxer) have largely been responsible for their own building projects. Also, Hassan Fathy's book "Architecture for the Poor" sounds like a good read - something that would interest both Brand and Guha!
