Just wanted to say that I do have a proper education, from the University of Bristol, and I was just trying to find out what other people know about the subject.
And t-coffee or whatever you're called, how can you report on things that come from your brain? If you really thought about that you would realise it is not a particularly sensible thing to suggest. News reporting is reporting on facts, and to know facts you have to hear about them somehow. If you could write a brilliantly interesting piece on how environmental issues are affecting Qatar without researching at all, then please be my guest.
Thanks to those who actually helped - I was under the impression from the Ministry's info that there isn't a proper recycling structure in place here, but just wondered whether anyone knew of anything going on.
Think I'll stop asking for information from here from now on! but I thought news was supposed to reflect what people are interested in, and this site is a reasonable gauge of that in Qatar.
