Czechs are definitely going green! You want proof? Not only is Prague going to be competing for the best “European Green city” in the near future but it has been promoting green games and competitions such as the “Best tree of the Year”. This year’s winner was a beautiful and shapely lime-tree from a little town of Rimov. It won over 34,000 votes from the total of 80,000 of them. And you know what the grand price was? Well, it wasn’t going to be any traditional beauty gift such as a new car, a diamond necklace or a full day in the spa, but something quite different. (more…)

vaclav klaus google imageThe re-elected president of the Czech Republic, Vaclav Klaus, was interviewed in March by the famous television host Glenn Beck on the issue of Global warming (see the YouTube video bellow). Whatever your conviction about this topic is, you have to admit that Klaus is pretty brave to be one of the “black sheep” and stand out against the mainstream opinion. Believe me, I do want to save the planet, but I agree with him on couple of things:

1/ there are not enough data to conclude that Global warming is caused by human activities (it may be a factor but not the main one) (more…)

field yahoo imageThe Czechs start to fancy the organic foods and I am not just talking about the basic stuff such as meat, eggs or the vegetables but also the so-called bio-wine, bio-beer and bio-bread! They have spent this year 49% of their grocery money on organic food which equals to 760 million Czech crowns. This amount should increase to 3.2 milliard Czech crowns by the year 2011. The Czech Republic is therefore becoming the “star child” when it comes to ecology. Compared to other EU countries, the amount of its organically-worked land is far above the EU average, equaling about 7.2% of the total amount of the agricultural land. And that’s not all! (more…)
