Summary

A steep rise in fuel prices due to a tax hike aimed at curbing smuggling and boosting revenues for the cash-strapped state has led many Greeks to forgo winter heating, resulting in a 70% drop in heating oil consumption. As a result, families are burning firewood and old furniture to stay warm, leading to increased illegal logging and a return of smog over Athens.
