I thought the 2016 plan was still being implemented. I had no idea it was dropped sometime along the way. So basically, we are heading to another disaster soon with no plan in place. Not having a plan is the real disaster to me. Ma bsadde2 the Minister of Environment ba3d la hala2 ma fata7 temmo...Does anyone know what he has said or done regarding this issue?
@lebanese1 You're well informed about the electricity plan, anything you can add in this thread? What am i missing?
He definitely bears a part of the responsibility.
But what about the rest of the Ministers and MPs?
Why isn't anyone talking about this?
Why isn't anyone pushing for laws to be applied?

Govt. OKs Solid Waste Plan, Decides to Expand Costa Brava Landfill
The Cabinet on Thursday approved a plan to manage the household solid waste crisis, which involves the expansion of the Costa Brava landfill near Beirut.
The plan was proposed by the Ministry of Environment.
“We now have a plan approved by the government to manage the household solid waste in Lebanon, and the details of this plan will be presented during a press conference in the ministry,” Environment Minister Tarek al-Khatib said after the cabinet session.
He added that the Cabinet also decided to expand the Costa Brava landfill and to include Chouf and Aley to area benefiting from it.
“A decision has also been taken about the Tripoli landfill and thus we now have a plan to commit to in order to solve the waste problem,” Khatib said.
Under the new plan, a new reprocessing plant will be established at Costa Brava and the sorting plants in Amrusiya and Karantina will be improved.
A call for tenders will also be organized within six months to establish thermal disintegration plants in several areas.
Lebanon has been suffering from a waste management crisis since July 2015 when the controversial Naameh landfill that received the trash of Beirut and Mount Lebanon was closed by authorities.
Experts have urged the government to devise a comprehensive waste management solution that would include more recycling and composting to reduce the amount of trash going into landfills.
The consecutive governments' failure to address the problem in recent years led to the piling up of garbage on the streets and in random locations, which raised health and environmental concerns and sparked unprecedented street protests against the entire political class.
Inno come on. You're being unfair here. They finally agreed on a plan, which you so conveniently glanced over. The expansion of the landfills is a stopgap measure until the thermal plants are set up - just like ships were in the electricity plan.So, after years of living this waste crisis, the government comes up with a solution entitled: "More of the same"
With the slogan: "Let's keep doing the same thing we did in the past that led to this crisis and didn't fix it because that's what we do and our sheepish constituents will believe and support us".
I think people are being complacent and so used to mediocrity that any step (good or bad) is hailed as an achievement.Inno come on. You're being unfair here.

I think people are being complacent and so used to mediocrity that any step (good or bad) is hailed as an achievement.
Here's the situation:
- They agreed on a plan, but it's the wrong one.
- Government has been in power for over a year, the crisis started much earlier than that. Are you telling me it took them so much time to come up with such a mediocre idea? Not even a plan....
- If they had done their job half right, just a bit faster, we wouldn't need a stopgap.....like with the ships...
- Thermal plants are horrendous, costly and polluting
- What about recycling? will there be any? If so, what's the plan for that? WIll it be at the source or at the plant? What about composting? What's the ratio of trash we're expecting to recycle?
They couldn't come up with that too?
My table could've come up with a better solution.
Am I being unfair now for asking basic questions to a whole cabinet?
