Driving the green agenda: the battle to make electric dreams a reality for motorists


SHARE
Connie Muir would love to own an electric car. The London-based environmentalist is a prime candidate for a new generation of eco-friendly vehicles. She has checked out the possibilities, but getting behind the wheel of a 'green mobile' is just not viable.
“The road that I live on, there’s no electric charging point. None nearby. I don’t have a driveway. I don’t even have a set parking space outside on the street," she said. That's before she even considers the cost of replacing her old car.
The Friends of the Earth campaigner is hardly the only city-dweller to face such obstacles in trying to make her use of transport more environmentally friendly. Her struggles are replicated in towns and cities across the world.

Generation Start-up: Shezlong seeks to remove mental health stigma through online counselling


SHARE
Shortly after receiving a diagnosis for depression seven years ago, Ahmed Abu Elhaz was hard-pressed to find psychotherapy services that were professional, reliable and cheap.
The glaring market gap inspired the young Egyptian entrepreneur to set up Shezlong, a Cairo-based start-up that provides online counselling services to Arabic speakers around the world from the comfort and privacy of their homes, in addition to addressing the social stigma around seeking mental health support.
Negative attitudes towards mental illness have meant that women in some countries have inadequate access to the required support, says Mr Abu Elhaz. Those battling mental health issues are often considered to have weak faith or poor resilience and people who try to seek professional help are often subjected to shame or ridicule, he says.

These countries are making their own Covid-19 vaccines from scratch


Cuba’s self-reliance is born of necessity.
Relatively poor, especially after a year in which its tourist industry has been battered by the pandemic, and heavily isolated by US sanctions, the country would have struggled to secure supplies of the Pfizer and Moderna coronavirus vaccines in particular.
Rather than join Covax
Cuba has used its decades-long expertise in biotechnology to develop and produce its own
.
By the end of this year, there’s no doubt the population [of Cuba] will be vaccinated – the first in Latin America and the Caribbean

Switzerland travel guide: everything you need to know as the country reopens to vaccinated tourists


Switzerland has reopened to travellers, with no quarantine rules in place for vaccinated travellers.
The European destination started welcoming tourists again on Saturday. Travellers from countries outside the EU, including the UAE, who have received both doses of a Covid-19 vaccination can now include Switzerland in any summer travel planning.
