There is another picture with two men in the middle of that green field. was in the news papers couple days ago. Those plants are almost a meter high!

This nice greenery is natural, albeit temporary. The astroturf at the Sheratoin roundabout may be fake but it is no less fake than the completely non-native greenery landscaped all around the city, which is forced to grow by over-intensive use of (highly salty) desalinated water and chemical fertilisers. At least the astroturf is not destrying the soil and the water table. Astroturf may not be the answer but it is time to completely rethink this Gulf obsession with making succulent plants grow in the desert where they do not belong. It is destroying the very fragile soil and water table that remains here. And then Astroturf will be the only option.

Why not landscape with indigenous plants, rockeries and other creative ways to sustainably bring pleasant gardens into the urban setting? When I see grassy lawns and tropical plants growing here I don’t think of it as “nature”, I see it as the most unnatural desecration of nature by thoughtless idiotic mankind….

exactly… it seems everyone wants it to be like a european country, if you want grassland go to europe, don’t try to change a desert… love the desert.

I guess my prayers have been accepted.

This is proof if people stop counting on government and simply change their lands by the simplest things might actually change into something like this. If people actually tried to go nuts and plant one million plants in all the islands, do you actually know what would happen?

If they go nuts and plant tons of trees, the prophecy would become true in the upcoming years.

Natural fertilizers and distillated water would be used. The islands specifically Failaka have good soil for trees to grow. First would be the islands forestation than the mainlands.

That way, people would see that governments don’t actually build a country but their people who live in that country are the pillars of their community.

Wow.. What a great plan.
All what it needs to turn Kuwait into a green paradise is people to go nuts, and a bit of your “prayers”..
So logical! Why didn’t anyone think of it before??
