Save Debbin from "COOL" People!

Since approximately e v e r y b o d y promoted for signing their names on a website to save debbin.
So ... how many of those really do know details about whats happening there!
I'm afraid to say none!

Being a resident of Jerash for the past 17 years... I can tell you more detail:
The project was proposed and planned since over 3 years now.
I can guarantee that None of those who signed, promoted to sign, or the FOE members or founders know how much local public and authorities in jerash area have been fighting to get some investor to ACT for such a project.
I can guarantee that None of those who signed, promoted to sign, or the FOE members or founders have ever been to debbin more than 24 aggregated hours during the past 10 years. Or even 15 years!
I can guarantee that None of those who signed, promoted to sign, or the FOE members or founders know how much debbin did loose during the past 15 years because of being an un-protected forest were public mess out during the summer. And do not know that every summer 4-6 fires are set-up in the area burning out 10s of pine trees.
I can guarantee that None of those who signed, promoted to sign, or the FOE members or founders know that 10s of trees in the area are chop down every year illegally since 10s of years so that some of them would have wood coal and fireplace burning woods in their villas!
I can guarantee that None of those who signed, promoted to sign, or the FOE members or founders know that since a few years back even poor local people chop down trees in order to get their children some warmness during the freezing winters of the area because of the massive rate of unemployment and poverty in the area.
I can guarantee that None of those who signed, promoted to sign, or the FOE members or founders know that over 75% of the youth in the area and villages around debbin suffer unemployment. And the only job they do around the year is harvest their olive trees in the autumn.
The Project was to be started before more than a year ago. And the RSCN and Government stopped it until it got in with Jordan Dubai capital to an agreement about how things should go environmentally
The Project is an eco-tourism project, eco-tourism is available only in lebanon as far as arab countries are concerned. Does anyone around here knows what eco-tourism is!
The Building of the project will not be built in the forest! But in an empty area beside it.
I can guarantee that None of those who signed, promoted to sign, or the FOE members or founders know the number of trees that will be chop down in this project, nor the number of trees that will be planted.
The Buildings area will be planted.
The forest area will be totally protected.
The trees chop down will be in few numbers, and will be chop down to open roads to the project.
The number of newly planted trees in the project will be 10X the number of trees chop down in opening the roads.
The land of the project will remain property of the government! It will only be rented.
100s of locals will be working in the project directly.
1000s of locals will be working in the project in-directly.
If you dont want the project, be sure that residents of Burma, Khshebe, Majdal, Kette, Remon, Sakib, Na7le, Al-Jazzaze, Gaza Camp, 3lemoon .. and the entire Jerash Area WANT IT!

So ... Save Deebin by not signing!
