Once the fourth largest lake in the world, the Aral Sea between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan is about 10% of its former size. Located in the arid plains between Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan, the Soviet Union had great plans to build a cotton empire and diverted water from the Aral Sea to irrigate crops.

One of the biggest cotton growing area of the world is in the “Stans” of the former Soviet Union and every autumn, children in Uzbekistan are forced to work in the cotton harvest, for little pay. In Uzbekistan, summer vacation begins in mid-September, when the heat subsides. After all we need Uzbekistan's military bases from which to enter Afghanistan without having to go through Iran, which would not work, or through Pakistan which can be difficult.

Pilgrims from Uzbekistan brought Ruz Bukhari with them long ago, as they traveled to Mecca and Medina. Known as Ruz Bukhari, this spicy rice is a traditional and well-loved Arabic dish. What’s vegewarian? It means reducing the amount of meat you eat every week, celebrating delicious food and sustainability with vegetable-based dishes. We’re sure they traveled by camel caravan, but nowadays pilgrims make their haj in all kinds of ways , even by bike.

Ultraconservative Sunni Wahabbists argue that Ramadan caroling is un-Islamic and should be forbidden, but according to Tora Mirzayev, professor of folklore at Uzbekistan’s Academy of Science, Central Asia’s caroling tradition has pre-Islamic roots. Children in Central Asia practice a tradition in the lead-up to iftar (the evening breaking of the Ramadan fast – read our green iftar guide here ) that has a decidedly Western resonance: they go Ramadan caroling.

Fossil fuel burning yielding the greenhouse gas (GHG) carbon dioxide (CO2) is a major component of man-made global warming. In relation to carbon pollution from the burning of fossil fuels, Net Carbon Debt is equal to the Historical Carbon Debt (from fossil fuel burning since the start of the Industrial Revolution in circa 1750) minus the Carbon Credit (the residual carbon pollution from fossil fuel burning permitted between now and zero emissions in 2050).
