diavgeia.gov.gr<\/a>, the website aimed to promote government transparency. It\u2019s a report from the meeting of Euboea\u2019s municipal authorities that took place on July 21, 2021. (As a matter of fact, I had a hard time finding the report as it seems to be removed from all lists, but the file still exists on the website)<\/p>\nAccording to the report, the local authorities disagree to place wind turbines in the area<\/strong>.<\/p>\nThe city council expresses its complete opposition and disagreement over the three (3) permits 504, 506, and 507 for wind energy facilities in the Municipality of Mantoudi-Limni-Agia Anna.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Immense areas of land are destroyed, and it will take decades to restore the forests. (Even though it seems that restoring them is not a part of the plan)<\/p>\nWill humans ever realize that the Earth is our only home, along with being home to countless other species except for our own? Will we ever stop valuing money over life?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Only when the last tree has been cut down, the last fish been caught, and the last stream poisoned, will we realize we cannot eat money.<\/p>\n
