Is there a section of egypt that's effectively implementing environmentally friendly ways of living (i.e., recycling, people not littering often, high trash can availability in outdoor market areas, etc., etc)? Yes, yes, many are hospitable and friendly, but after being used to living in green places like the california bay area, and germany, I was shocked to see that the basics of environmental care were ignored out of the costly hotel areas. Out of the touristy areas people threw all sorts of trash on the street, I didn't notice any garbage cans (was told that people would probably steal them), trash piled high, goats and other livestock eating in refuse...that wasn't uncommon from my trips to various cities in alexandria and cairo. One city, kafr-el-dawr, just recently got constant garbage pick up--is that a common problem for the "commoners" of egypt that aren't born into a "better" life? also, what are the cancer rates since it seems there's a lack of environmental control?
