Population growth & Family Planning..Where is Lebanon...?

Question

heading?

Do you think if we keep in the same pace lebanon will still be green in 50 years from now?

What are your some of ideas on some family planning models?

Answer 1

Planning, in lebanon, yes right, please wake me up when you are finished dreaming.

Dont you see the mess that has happend in lebanon, from lakes, ocean, air pollution. Come on

If there must be a planning the planning must be done NOw

Answer 2

As I first came to Lebanon back in 1994 it was green more than now because the population is growing and you will have to remove trees inorder to build new building for the new families.

I think not in 50 years, it will take 100 years inorder to change like I mentioned up.

God Bless Lebanon

Answer 3

2-3 questions in one...getting stingy with your points since big daddy confiscated them of you? ( I know, I know, I shouldn't remind you)

Population growth: I don't think that we are excessively growing compared to the rest of the world.
However internally the balance is shifting: Family planning which is related to growth, is directly related to our culture, religion, lifestyle and choices.
and since there is no shortage of these in Lebanon we have found ourselves with more than one "typical Lebanese family".

While christians who where always more open to the west, adopted the nuclear family model ( 2.1 kids) . The moslem side due to religious beliefs, lifestyle and poor awareness about contraception had these much bigger families which actually tipped the balance and increased the ratio of the lebanese moslem population.
which left us with an unfair political system based on a majority which was no longer a majority. hence the Taef agreement.but that's a different story.

I think that because of this cultural diversity amongst the lebanese it will be impossible to implement one fit all family planning models.

As for question 2: I join my voice to the people trying to wake you up from your dream. what green? our beautiful mountains have become cement jungles, Lebanon is sprawling with no urban planning and zero concept of ecological issues.

Answer 4

No........if lebanese pple dont wake up and try to keep the trees, lebanese echosystem will change.That happens all around the world, but we seem dont understand the danger that it keeps.
Trees......forests ......are the lungs of the planet, and we are killing them. Some has to be done.....as to teach kids in school and to replace the trees.
Lebanon is a small piece inside the rest of the world.
Amazonia is being cut, and no one try to solve it... All the planet is suffering about that.....

About family planning models.........I agree with Webby that said that christian families have less kids than muslim ones..
So, after a time they will be majority there.......
Even.....that almost all the lebanese diaspora is christian, but lebanese government is denying the citizenship or the passports to them.
That is a right that lebanese sons and daughters have, but are being discriminated. And that would be a way to make a balance between christians and muslims.

Answer 5

Lebanon has totally forgot how to plan and how to develop. Its population is obsessed with politics. No family planning, no nature friendly development plans, nothing.
It used to be a wonderful country, but now forests hardly cover more than 15% of Lebanon (it used to be 40%), and Lebanese (or most of them) are totally unconscious that harming their environment is almost irreversible.

Answer 6

Maybe if we started planting now, in 50 years it will be greener...
You can wake smutty up..., but let me dream...
