Ecological boutique between cedars and trash
The problem of urban waste afflicts the country of the Phoenicians. A small proposal that can make a system
Lebanon, a country smaller than Abruzzo but with over 6 million inhabitants, including refugees, and a capital, Beirut, cyclically and dramatically struggling with garbage. In Beirut the collective “You stink!” Was born two years ago, trying to push politicians to seriously tackle the problem of the “wild trash”, but under the cedars and in the sea there are still landfills, both illegal and “Legal”, in an emergency that seems to have no end.
In this rather gloomy picture, which has become increasingly dynamic, a significant contribution to the growth of ecological sensitivity has certainly given Marc Beyrouty, a brilliant person with great competence and experience.

Hi Marc,
I enjoy every episode you have appeared on NGNO with Anthony as your guest. Haha. Just kidding. You bring a real feeling of enthusiasm for nature that is enlightening and refreshing.
May l please ask you a botanical question? My Lebanese Mother is a garden lover and insists my twin oregano plants that crawl on the ground are inferior. They root multiple times as they crawl on the surface of the ground. They have a very intense flavor and an amazing scent much nicer than my ordinary oregano plants that are a foot high. I never use the foot high oregano for culinary purposes as it is flavorless but comes up every year. The oregano that crawls on the ground l am not sure 🤔 of the name and whether it is a variety that can take harsh winters of 10 below zero and strong winds. This is my first year with the two plants. Perhaps l can plant the rooted stems in pots and bring into my sunroom? If l cover the plants in a mulch will that protect the roots over winter? Please when you find the time could you let me know what the name is of this oregano is.
I hope for you and the fellow citizens of your country a return to prosperity and good health.

Hi,
Thank you for your lovely message.
In order to help you I need some info.
Were the plants brought from Lebanon? If not from where?
Do you have pictures? Preferably with flowers.
Cheers
Marc
