| It was reported in March that Christian-born converts to Islam in Egypt wishing to return to their former faith have found their way blocked by an appeal before the country’s Supreme Constitutional Court. Judge Muhammed Husseini asked Egypt’s top judical body on March 4th to review the constitutionality of a law granting citizens the right to change religions. Eqypt’s top administrative court used Article 47 of Egypt’s civil law to justify allowing 12 converts to Islam to return to Christianity. Husseini has demanded that the constitutional court rule on whether Article 47 conflicts with the Egyptian constitution’s second article, which designantes Islam as the main source of legislation. | |

| The worrying fact is that, we are disposing more waste now than ever before even though there are many active environmentally conscious campaigns at present. If we think about it – plastic can take up to 500 years to decompose. A recycled plastic bottle would save enough energy to power a 60-watt light bulb for three hours. Also, recycling plastic allows for conservation of non-renewable fossil fuels. Few people know that glass that is thrown away and ends up in landfill will never decompose. Ironically, it is one of the few materials that is 100 per cent and recyclable and can be used again and again. For every tonne of recycled glass used, 1.2 tonnes of raw materials are preserved. | |
