“Weak zoning laws, careless farmers and smoldering garbage dumps are the main reasons for the forest fires that have killed 63 and destroyed whole rural economies in Greece in recent days, Greenpeace said on Monday.

Greece has declared a state of emergency and sought help from its EU partners.” (08/27/07)
