THE ARAL: A DYING SEA
The Aral Sea was once the fourth biggest landlocked sea in the world – 66,100 square kilometers of surface. With abundant fishing resources, the Sea provided a healthy life for thousands of people.
The Aral receives its waters from two rivers – the Amu Dar’ya and the Syr Dar’ya. In 1918, the Soviet government decided to divert the two rivers and use their water to irrigate cotton plantations. These diversions dramatically reduced the volume of the Aral.
As a result, the concentration of salt has doubled and important changes have taken place: fishing industry and other enterprises have ceased: salt concentration in the soil has reduced the area available for agriculture and pastures; unemployment has risen dramatically; quality of drinking water has been declining because of increasing salinity, and bacteriological contamination; the health of the people, animal and plant life have suffered as well.
In the past few decades, the Aral Sea volume has decreased by 75 percent. This is a drastic change and it is human induced. During natural cycles, changes occur slowly, over hundreds of years.
The United Nations Environment Program has recently created the International Fund for Saving the Aral Sea. Even if all steps are taken, a substantial recovery might be achieved only with 20 years.

COUCHSURFING!
Imagine you are planning a Holiday in Boston, say, or Sydney, or Dublin. Now, what if you could stay with locals who could give you a guided tour, take you to the best pub or beach, help you improve your English… and all for free? Welcome to the world of Couchsurfing! Yes, Couchsurfing is about a free couch – or bed, or room, or hammock, so it is great for budget travelers. But it is much more than that. The couchsurfing philosophy is about connecting people and cultures. The ethos is “Making the world a better place – one couch at a time.”
The idea was born in San Francisco in 1999. A young man called Casey Fenton was planning a long weekend in Reykjavik. Iceland is expensive and Casey needed cheap accommodation. So he e-mailed over 1,500 Icelandic students in Reykjavik to ask if he could sleep on their couch. Casey was not only offered couches, the students also showed him ‘their’ Reykjavik. Casey decided this was a great way to travel, and launched the site with three friends in 2003. Today the world has more than 2.5 million Couchsurfers, 86,347 of which live in Brazil, the eighth most popular CS country.
