In joining the European Union Lithuania signed the Treaty of Accession
Protocol No. 4, according to which, our country commits itself to phase
out the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant (INPP) by 2009. However, it was
suddenly realized, that closing the nuclear plant means leaving
Lithuania without a sufficient nuclear power supply for about 6 to 9
years (until a new power station can be built).Sunday, April 27 2008

We should be happy to see that Vilnius is on the way on become the Europe’s friendliest city for bicyclists: the self government refused 3 million Euro for building new bicycle-tracks.

From the beginning of the New Year in San Paulo, the fourth most populated city in the world, the municipal authorities are dismantling all public advertisement screens and panels. This is the unprecedented war against „visual pollution“. I cannot but wonder about this outbreak of political will in Latin America, therefore I decided to take a better look at the situation in Lithuanian capital.
