Iran's Department of the Environment has warned that Iran is among the 10 countries which cause the most environmental destruction in the world.
“On realizing environmental destruction is a sign of severe challenges in our time, the department's attention falls on more longsighted planning and the root causes of the problem,” the vice president in charge of the Department of the Environment said.
Mohammad-Javad Mohammadizadeh suggested Iran had to employ applicable models to avoid more environmental destruction, which, if not controlled, would become a crisis for the next generation in the country.
“Increasing world population and steady technology advancement are among the main causes of environmental destruction. In a matter of 100 years there will be no trees left in Iran if the devastation continues at such a pace,” he said.
“Iran has to take various factors into consideration. Pond and water management as well as presence of 30,000 vessels providing 60 percent of oil and gas of the world are of great importance in the matter especially taken with the fact that the vessels are older than 20 years old,” he added.
“Informing the public about the endangered ecosystem and an environment friendly lifestyle must find their place in our daily life,” Mohammadizadeh concluded.

Neo Comms are trully the enemy of the Iranian people!
by Farhad Kashani on Wed Oct 28, 2009 07:14 PM PDTAren’t these Neo Comms something! They even blame the horrendous environmental conditions in Iran on the people, not the IRI regime! They won’t even blame this on IRI!
It’s not a secret that these people believe that the people are sheep and the IRI regime is a Shepard. That’s what they truly think. We are little kids, and we need IRI to tell us whats rights and what’s wrong, and IRI has the right to spank us every time we open our mouth.
Honestly though, IRI can be the biggest contributor to a greener world, because Khoemeini did his best to end civilization as we know it in Iran. He did say “economy is for the donkey” and if it he could’ve, he would’ve destroy all cars and all factories in Iran, and make us live exactly like 1400 years ago, an era that he though was the golden age of mankind!
