The attached three photos are the creme de la creme of a plenty of photos that we have taken at the Citadel of Salah ad-Din, one of the famous landmarks in Egypt and one of its popular tourist attractions. This clarifies why we chose the Citadel in particular .. you may as well be interested to know that Salah-ad-din, the Abassid ruler who fortified the area, chose this area in particular because of "its healthy air". And we today, standing by that famous Egyptian site, hoisting the flag of Egypt with the 350 banner, call for our need and for our right in healthy air, in 350 parts per millon of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the number that humanity needs to get bck to as soon as possible to avoid runaway climte change.

These photos were taken following a conference-like auditory session in which climate change and environmental experts in Egypt came to inform a number of 50 citizens about the dangers that the phenomenon imposes on Egypt, and about the course of international negotiations that leads up to Copenhagen.
