"Guide to Green Jobs" by T. and M. Gelisio Gisotti

a couple of months was released in bookstores just text Gelisio Tessa and Mark Gisotti entitled "Guide to Green Jobs "(Edizioni Ambiente, €. 16.00) that attempts to explain what and what are the ecolavori offering hints and tips for those who want (or are forced) to change employment for young people who come for the first time in the world of work.
The book's subtitle reads: How the environment is changing the world of work .
It 'very possible that after years and years in which the environment is still an issue relegated to the living rooms of the environmentalists, it is finally becoming public domain?
Probably not, but if at a particular time as what we are going through open roads that are able to reduce our consumption against the costs and while providing new employment opportunities here is that dealing with environmental protection becomes extremely interesting for many.
According to the report "Green Jobs" of the United Nations in the world today, and only in the field of renewable energies, are 2.3 million persons employed, of which 300,000 in wind energy, 170,000 in solar photovoltaics, more than 600,000 in solar thermal and the remaining in biofuels.
ongoing climate change and economic crisis have created a mix in the first way out seems to be really the way to the ecolavori and not only in industrialized countries.
Another figure to see what is irrefutably the professionals of almost all economic sectors affected by the green economy.
Finally, let's face it, the level of environmental awareness in most people is so poor that the situation can not but offer enormous development paths.
Yet marketing professionals show us every day as any product "pull" more than those covered by a trademark "Green" that it enshrines the absolute environmental respectability, the media have fallen in love of environmental issues like never before and the public is making a real immersion of Applied Ecology
... But back to the book, in my opinion very interesting, and which among others also contains an introduction by the Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi.
Meanwhile, unlike that of Al Gore, and despite its 400 pages, this text is published as a very practical and I'll take it anywhere you can view its small size.
It is divided into two sections: the first is analyzed for 21 industry sectors and social both nationally and internationally with emphasis on useful to be a rather complete and usable as a compendium on the current state of the green economy.
Among the areas we pass from the analysis on renewable energy, sustainable mobility, to 'agri-food industry, Ecofin, waste management, environmental journalism and publishing, research and environmental monitoring, the green policy, to name few.
Each sector analysis is preceded by an interview with an expert in that field that analyzes the current status and future prospects.
Among the various sectors, their goodness, is also a chapter on environmental groups, however framed, and fortunately, (I should deny now the authors of the book!), not as a possible landing point of business, but as land able to gain experience, technical knowledge and appropriate attitudes, at least for some disciplines.
In the second part of the book, which seems to be, inter alia, the first of its kind published in Italy, are being described in detail the 100 most important professions green, indicating the necessary skills, training courses and the real potential in the labor market .
Among these professions there's some curious and amusing to say the least, and I quote eco-hairdresser and eco-chef , but I want to focus instead on some technical figures that I believe are those with the greatest potential for growth. The energy certification
since 2005 in Italy is compulsory energy performance certificates (Ace) to the deed of sale of any building. This act may be issued only by a person holding such qualifications. The regions are gearing up to set up special bodies for accreditation of these new professionals.
Only in Lombardy are now over 9,500 accredited certifiers. The qualification is obtained by attending training courses to follow which is not required to hold a university degree. The green chemical
: for several years in Italy there is a drop in enrollment scientific fields such as mathematics, statistics, chemistry and physics. For a young man who has yet to choose the university faculty I would suggest one of those disciplines because of the most requested by industry. In particular the chemical, as the powers of that figure are now cut across many disciplines, from solar to environmental remediation, waste recycling. The landfill mining
: This term is difficult to mean the excavation of the landfill to extract raw materials . This may seem a bit 'paradoxical but this could turn in a few years in one of the most profitable in the world. Landfills, now a problem in the near future, when the availability of raw materials will become increasingly difficult, they could be of real mines. No doubt today activity recycling of materials creates more jobs than the landfill or incineration.
The solver environmental conflicts: it is certainly less of a professional, but I mention with pride as the relief that this book is, above all, because the Friends of the Earth have launched training courses from as many as 3 since 2006. The environmental expert in conflict resolution work in the construction of large infrastructure projects or land reclamation involving an 'extended part of the territory and manages the public, to listen, talk to the social groups from time to time come into contact with the areas for the project. This role also leads to another equally important, that of environmental communicator who can then develop community-based positive actions undertaken and implemented by government.

undoubtedly contribute to the development of green jobs as well as some external factors such as the U.S. and the new course of China and its increasing ability to influence markets. Does not rule out the recent European Directive 20-20-20 which involves a massive use of renewables by 2020. Like it or not the green economy will induce significant changes in our economy also. Always quoting the data of this book, it is estimated that today in Italy are less than one million workers already employed in the green economy.
1,500,000 is expected to become within a few years.
We are at the end of a difficult year as the best hope for 2010 then that glimpse of a promising future ...

Copenhagen, a failure or a hope?

After two weeks Talk was closed yesterday, the Climate Conference in Copenhagen.
With what results? We try to analyze them before drawing conclusions. The document called for closing
Copenhagen Accord has 3 skinny little pages in which states as follows: • The
Kyoto Protocol remains in force until its natural end in 2012 for countries that had signed (among them there are the USA);
• The sanctioned agreement to maintain the growth of global temperature within 2 degrees Celsius . • The
CO2 emissions to be reduced and, by next January 2010, each of the 193 countries attending the conference will inform the objectives it intends to take in this regard. EU confirms that, for now, the goal that had already been given to reduce its emissions by 20% by 2020 . The U.S. promise to reduce their emissions by 17% than in 2005 (but it will be the U.S. Congress to ratify the final decision).
• The developing countries , (the most dissatisfied with the results of Copenhagen), every two years should report the results of their measurements. • The
rich countries to poor ones will $ 30 billion for the period 2010-2012 and then $ 100 billion a year by 2020. •
of incentives will be introduced against deforestation.
• The next appointments are between six months to Bonn, and a year in Mexico City . •
This agreement is recognized but will not be binding on any of the participating countries.
He immediately provoked a heated debate among those disappointed by this meeting and those who say they are still quite satisfied. I even talk about the disappointed "Flopenaghen" to describe their feeling of total failure of the conference, including many representatives of environmental NGOs.
But not everyone thinks the same way.
Let's see what we can then save the meeting in Copenhagen and what is not.
E 'no doubt that given the high expectations surrounding this meeting Creates the results can not fail to disappoint . However, in my opinion, save something from there. Meanwhile, almost all the countries of the world came together, giving credit to the theory that global warming exists , man is the root cause and you must find a solution to the problem. We managed to involve in the project's U.S. had declared that instead out of the Kyoto Protocol. In essence, the agreement represents a promise to enter into a more concrete a year in Mexico City. E 'but no doubt that the objective of reducing and cuts in emissions are expected really far too small.
should be noted, however, the return to a kind of leading role by the United States, which despite the economic decline, have been able to engage in their final proposal as India, China, Brazil and South Africa, or some of the most economically emerging countries that probably have preferred to adhere to minimum commitments now rather than in a year an agreement strictly binding. Throughout this process the role of the European Union, which now seems to be at the forefront in the fight against climate change, has unfortunately remained marginal , as well as that of Russia that I remember is the fifth country in the world and Emissions which, being among the main producers of gas and oil, has little interest in participating in this agreement.
In a year we really get to something more concrete? I can not answer.
likely that we have the first answers to this question, relying on new targets for reducing emissions that each country will communicate by the end of January.
Then maybe we will start understand something about it.

"The Choice" by Al Gore The Campaign

Let's face it, most of the environmental world has always looked with skepticism to the work of Al Gore. Yet, after what the U.S. presidential election of 2000 seemed like a loser, has been able - completely changing the street is entirely devoted to the cause of protecting the environment - to become a successful man even up to receive the 2007 Nobel Prize Peace.
personally consider as its main goal the creation of Live Earth, media event in defense of the climate that has succeeded in attracting millions of people around the world on July 7 of 2007, even more of a documentary titled "An Inconvenient Truth." Among other Live Earth will be repeated in April next year.
The reality is that this man has been reinvented by a great political communicator for the benefit of the environmental cause and, in particular the issue of global warming, the center of the climate conference that starts today in Copenhagen, succeeding where its many environmental organizations are failing: he manages to convey a clear message to everyone. Gore is not primarily aimed at scientists but ordinary people, trying to explain to them where we are simply wrong and what must we do to correct our mistakes, knowing that only by creating a collective conscience sensitive to these issues will be possible to address and resolve the environmental crisis that has hit us. The book titled "The Choice", (published by Rizzoli), a few days left in Italy, confirms, in my opinion, the qualities of great popularizer of Al Gore.
One of the aims of the book is to convince the public that the climate crisis is not an invention of environmentalists as unfortunately - according to Gore - they are looking for a long time to do some of the main oil companies in the world pouring substantial economic contributions to anyone who invents a study demonstrating the strangeness of human activity to global warming.
With the help of the great technical book can also explain to an audience of non-experts what are the main technologies that are already in possession of the man who can, if taken in time, be able to substantially reduce the production of gas emissions and solve our great thirst for energy. Not only that, Al Gore, with extraordinary simplicity and effectiveness is able to convey the message of how to solve both the economic crisis and environmental crisis through the application of these new technologies.
"The choice is really accessible to everyone and especially to those of certain subjects does not have direct knowledge: through a dozen chapters monothematic anyone can easily understand what are the main causes of the increase of global warming on the planet and political reasons that have delayed or otherwise made difficult to achieve an agreement between the countries on Earth to solve the problem.
scan the pages of this that I consider a really good book, for example, you can find out what the differences between energy use concentrated solar thermal (CST) and photovoltaics (PV), how the wind and how it works a wind turbine, working as the new geothermal systems (EGS) and untapped potential which they can ensure in the future, because some types of biofuels are to be taken seriously, unlike others, (no use of corn and that of cane sugar), like the idea of \u200b\u200bcarbon capture and sequestration could represent a real possibility in the future to reduce emissions, but because the nuclear option has to be set aside, the benefits they can bring to the cause of climate proliferation of organic farming systems, and how much will eventually be able to have the battle in favor of increasing energy efficiency. But the book of Al
Gore also offers other, devoting himself, in the latest part number and the advancement of concrete policy proposals, perhaps not always shared, but which nevertheless represented the determination to find solutions to the problem.
The layout of this book is wonderful. Out of some 400 pages that make up more than half is represented by spectacular and sometimes dramatic pictures, each one personally selected by the author and each of them with strong media content.
The only flaws I found in this publication is the first price (35.00 euro), the size and weight (almost 1.5 kg!) Excessive frankly, that if they more like a catalog of an exhibition of art to a popular text in fact make it a bit 'difficult to read. Well, not exactly the kind of book that one can carry around and read on the train, bus or while it is queued to post!
Apart from this, but I think that anyone with a role of some responsibility in protecting the environment should not only try to read but to study this text.
will not be lost time that will take.
All proceeds from the sale of "The Choice" will be entirely donated to the Alliance for Climate Protection, "a nonprofit organization founded by the same Al Gore in 2006 in order to change people's attitude towards the climate crisis, and whose official website is available at http://www.climateproject.org

Soon, in a subtle September, a

continent floating in the midnight sun disappears.

Rivers
fever and back rests on a sea of \u200b\u200bNeptune acid
bones dissolve.

The snow slides down the mountain
ice generates a flood season comes fast
a persistent rain.

(.......)
The shepherd cries
the time of the choice came
here are your tools.

(Al Gore, Nashville, Tennessee, 2009)

"Evergreen 2009 "The

The partnership between Friends of the Earth and Obi hard for the past 4 years and over time it has established.
The campaign "Evergreen, immortelle" reaches its third edition and the intent is to make each year more and more effective above the targets, even in terms of numbers, achieved in previous years.
This year's new goal is to get them through the replanting of 3,500 trees were implemented over the last edition. First
is therefore only right for us to thank the Obi is guaranteeing the consistency and commitment to this important initiative for us. For more info please visit also the site of OBI at: http://www.obi-italia.it/it/company/it/Ambiente_e_sociale/SempreverdeSemprevivo/index.html

But if all this will be possible thanks to the narrow, vital collaboration offered by the Nursery "Bani" which is based in Castel San Niccolò and is considered the third protagonist of this wonderful initiative.
Company Bani fact, in addition to cultivating and put Trade in the fir trees, it offers each year, the availability of its own plot of land able to replanting of trees that would otherwise not be retrieved and saved from a grim fate.
Thanks to a well-established formula, the Obi Italy sells at all its points on the Italian territory commercial trees in tubs (that is still equipped with roots and soil) at a cost of € 10.00 per piece. To all those who returned, along with their proof of purchase, the same tree in good health after the holidays and no later than January 9, 2010 will receive a voucher of equal value be spent at the centers OBI by March 31, 2010. Fir returned will be taken "in the temporary custody" by Obi, which in turn organize the expedition, it would be better to say, his "return to the place of birth", in Castel San Niccolò where he will be replanted in an area already identified and allocated for the purpose within the nursery Bani, just behind the control and verification of proceedings by the Friends of the Earth who will be guarantors as well as perpetrators, at least in its startup phase.
To celebrate the initiative Sunday, January 31, 2010 Friends of the Earth will be holding a "shipment" of volunteers, of course, also open to anyone else who wants to participate and in particular so paid to families with young children. Children
fact we were the principal architects and actors of the initiative because it is to them that in the first turn our attention because it is mainly adults of tomorrow that we hope to convey a message that goes in the direction of a growing respect for nature and the environment in general, and because Christmas has always been, in the tree along with the crib is one of the two main symbols is the celebration par excellence of the children.
But the day, besides being an opportunity for everyone to spend some time outdoors and in a pristine environment such as the forests of Casentino adults will also offer some interesting hints as to be able to learn about the various species of trees present and grown in our region: from spruce to the white, Abbot Normandy (probably the best) to that of the Caucasus, each with characteristics and different methods of cultivation.
Did you know for example that a fir of about 1 meter and a half (the average height of trees on sale), through a long and arduous journey lasting about 10 years to reach that height? Every year we see regularly in the massacre of these plants that are first abused in the home where they are forced to adapt to temperatures average around 22-24 ° C, ie much higher than those of their natural habitat in this time of year, often only to be abandoned soon after the holidays, next to a dumpster in the house because we do not want more, we do not need more.
Here, the final wish is just to succeed with this initiative to send a different message that inspires us all (and in this case, especially in adults, because then the children look to adults looking for an example) a greater sense of responsibility and awareness that man must have more and more, all for the environment.

Participation in the day of the January 31 is absolutely free, with no cost to participants. We have, among other things, designed to make it even more interesting by offering the possibility of a guided tour of the castle fortress of St. Nicholas.
Lunch will instead be offered to all participants by the Company Bani.

For the detailed program of the day, ask for further information and / or book, you can visit the following address: http://www.amicidellaterra.it/adt/index.php?option=com_content&task=view & id = 685 & Itemid = 1

or contact the Friends of the Earth in Florence either by phone at 055/2207304, either by e-mail address: info@amicidellaterra.org

remember that the participation in the final event, due to limited space, is under an obligation to booking subject to availability.

Slow Economy and the" Sinocentrismo "by F. Rampini

Federico Rampini's new book, titled " Slow Economy - Reborn wisely" (ed. Mondadori, Euro 17.00 ) proposes the theory that the world is heading towards an economic model "sinocentrico. China will be the country's future business leaders World? Probably.
Rampini, from both a deep knowledge of the Asian world, (among other things, is the author of another fine book "The Empire of Chindia" by which two years ago he analyzed the reasons for the strong economic growth that was developing in Asia in countries such as China and India), that of the U.S., compares these two seemingly different worlds and far, and now for a difference of reasons are forced to live in close contact and confront each other, anticipating some sort of way deliveries between the two with Europe relegated to a marginal role.
In the clash between these two worlds as China, according Rampini, is intended to overcome the current crisis is actually a great advantage for a people like the Asia that has always made frugality a way of life even among its more affluent social classes.
theory as a metaphor for his own use the rickshaws Rampini, also rose to the fore most recently in our local chronicles of Florence. For several years now, New York seems to have adopted this vehicle as a means of transport and it is undeniable that it is primarily the product of a labor market recession exhausted. In Asia these carriages, pulled by a man on foot or pedaling on a bicycle, are a staple of the urban landscape for over two centuries. Yet today this means of transport may be a valid response to the crisis not only economic but also environmental pollution that besiege our cities: "In the concrete jungle , - writes Rampini - the risks exceed the car, slips in the middle of the lane, take the shortcuts. CO2 emissions: zero. Noise: zero ... It 's one example of "frugal consumption," which comes from Asia. " But the book cites many other examples of comparisons that do not involve only the US-China relationship, but perfectly valid for us too Europe. I will mention just a few:
- The soap, and when we are going to end them, we typically throw away: Chinese women Instead, put aside and then when they have collected a sufficient number we produce a new soap mixture between them.
- Washing dishes, in a few among the Chinese, they use the dishwasher, consider it too expensive a tool, for use in many detergent Solvay soda that costs much less.
- Take a shower, dirty shower water is not discarded in the exhaust. This is collected in a tub and then using it to wash the floors of the house.
- rice cooking water (to us the dough), use it, once cooled, to water the plants.
- The expired yogurt, is not thrown away. They use it as a leaven to make the dough, (it seems to have the same qualities of our brewer's yeast).
- GAS to purchase appliances , we typically arise solidarity group purchasing for purchases of food. In China are ahead in this. From them, when at home you decide to change an electrical appliance you ride with friends and family to find other people interested in the same kind of purchase. Then we go together to the mall where you can earn a better price thanks to the collective purchasing power.
Because of the crisis for some time, similar examples of frugality can begin to find in California and in cities like San Francisco where he began to pass the idea that the model of ideal life is to retire in the country to raise animals and grow fruits and vegetables.
Of course, the secret of the success of the Chinese economy is not only related to this issue.
I found particularly interesting the analysis Rampini makes what he calls "selfish capitalism" which creates a source of anxiety and psychologically destructive to the emphasis placed on productivity and the resulting stress from competition.
In the Big Brother society many of us are confined to becoming rich and famous. Because only the goal of fame and wealth is equivalent to being successful. Unfortunately, all This experiment also the day I. In a school in Florence, at the end of the projection of the documentary film "Do not throw away" on the issue of reducing the production of household waste, and in which even I appear briefly in one scene, a student who had recognized me in the movie approached me and said: "Lucky you! Meanwhile, at least managed to do an extra in a movie! "
's second Rampini - and I fully agree with his thesis - the roots of our economic and environmental crises, there is also a deep crisis of values \u200b\u200band this is not certainly not be held liable precisely our model of economic development is too often self-referential, almost free from self-criticism and without humility is essential to growth.
course, as they say, "is not all that glitters is gold." China is also a country where you apply a heavy exploitation of labor, where there is censorship and repression and where they are committed serious environmental damage. From what very well known in the Three Gorges Dam to the most recent and current wretched project involves the construction of no less than 13 dams along the path of the Golden River region of Yunnan, the last paradise of our planet, which will result in the forced migration of hundreds of thousands of residents due to flooding of whole valleys, and against which have already been moved by all the main environmental organizations. But China, making its strong position against the rest of the world, now will go their own way, whether we like it or not, because it is officially still a developing country. The comfort of the data: in China, for example, today there are only 12 cars per thousand inhabitants, compared with 480 of the United States. When China and India argue that the West's first wildly looted natural resources of the planet and then get to preach environmentalism and austerity to the poorest countries, they are right. But there is no doubt that the impact on Chinese consumption of resources may be devastating if we fail to convince them that it is necessary in the interests of all, that they also change the development model.
To do so, concludes Rampini, it is essential to overcome the barriers of prejudice that still separate us from the Chinese and their world, strive to understand a philosophy often far from our thoughts, yet in some cases effectively.

We waited two centuries to appreciate the risks, perhaps it is the case, as Westerners, to make a move to better understand the rest.

scenario that will open the conference in Copenhagen


I try to sum up the situation ahead of the opening of the Conference in Copenhagen next December.
was created in 1997 the international treaty known as the "Kyoto Protocol" on global warming. The objective of this treaty is asking is to reduce global greenhouse gas production by 5% in 2008-2012.
In 2002, EU countries agree to reduce their output of greenhouse gases by 8% by 2012.
In 2005 enters into force the Kyoto Protocol, ratified by Russia, meanwhile.
In 2007 the U.S. announced it will not sign the Kyoto commitment.
In a study entitled "Climate: true emergency "(Brioschi Editore) economist Nicholas Stern, the London School of Economics, former chief World Bank economist, says that the impact of carbon on the atmosphere seems worse than that estimated up to only two or three years ago. Today, the probability that average temperatures on Earth will increase by 5 degrees by 2050 is 50%. The last time the Earth was so hot was the Eocene. If this were to occur would be almost inevitable destruction of a large proportion of arable land in the world and the consequent beginning of migration by hundreds of millions of people.
According to the British scientist meeting Copenhagen in December it can become the most important international meeting since the Second World War.
Developed countries, where he lives about an inhabitant of the Earth in six (one in ten will be in 2050) alone currently accounts for 70% of emissions accumulated since 1950. In the future, but the majority of emissions will come from the so-called developing countries, however, argue that those responsible for the greenhouse effect to date are the industrialized countries and therefore it is right that these are having to bear the costs under the old principle the "polluter pays" and added that needing to get out of poverty when they find it impossible to give up on burning fossil fuels or cutting forests except to get economic aid from its major industrialized countries.
Currently the two countries most responsible for the production of CO2 emissions are China and the U.S. (alone will produce almost half of the total), and even then much will depend on the strategies that they adopt and which, however, in a recession like we face do not hide their big concerns about possible reductions in CO2 emissions.
In particular, the U.S. fears that adapting to the choices of other industrialized countries at the end can offer large economic benefits to India and China.
Meanwhile, the European Union, which had already given the following objectives by 2020:
- 20% renewable energy
- 30% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (if the U.S. will do the same otherwise it will stop at 20% )
- 20% increased energy efficiency
last October reached a new agreement for 2050 a further reduction of their emissions equal to 80-95% compared to those produced in 1990.
In this context, Italy, having spent the roof upon it by the Kyoto Protocol, to open new power plants would have to pay one billion euro. "This money - said our Minister for the Environment Prestigiacomo - paradoxically would go to countries like Poland that are less virtuous than us. "
In short, the scenario that will open the meeting in Copenhagen, it is extremely complex.
The main problem is that the Earth's atmosphere does not respect the time and the usual rules of political compromise and a further postponement of certain choices could be really dangerous.
Already a rise of one degree of temperature and resulting in further melting of the polar ice caps would cause serious damage to the arable land of Bangladesh and other countries located at sea level.

Gaia or Medea, what future for the Earth?


In view of the climate conference to be held next December in Copenhagen, from which we can expect some important decisions concerning protection of the planet, I decided to create a sort of path towards all 'event staged approach to addressing the key issues related to it. With this in mind I decided to start the conversation by focusing on two main theories that predict what future awaits the Earth and its inhabitants, and which also appear to differ significantly from each other. The
Gaia theory, which takes its name from the ancient Greek goddess of Earth, mother and protector of all life forms, claims that our planet, for all damages caused by man, is nevertheless capable of regulating itself and evolve to ensure the welfare of its inhabitants. The theory of
Medea, which instead takes its name from the mythological character of Medea, in fact, the wife of Jason and famous for murdering their children, argues instead that the evolutionary system of the planet is inevitably destined to end in the extinction of life of its inhabitants. In essence
Gaia sees the earth as "benign mater" Medea and instead framed as a merciless stepmother and inhospitable.
The two theories are actually much more complex and groped to explain in detail would involve a much longer speech.
The Gaia theory is not new. It dates back to 1979 and was made by British scientist James Lovelock, according to which life itself is to regulate the atmosphere and Earth's climate in order to make a living through self-regulation mechanisms of its main variables: temperature, oxygen, acidity, etc..
In this theory, all things considered, fairly comfortable, he chose to oppose the American scientist Peter Ward, who sought to show that, for the earth's temperature in hand, in reality that proposed by Lovelock is a beautiful fairy tale and instead the latch temperatures recorded on the planet over the millennia can be attributed to the evolution of new species of life.
Over the past 565 million years, or the beginning of the evolution of animals on Earth, there were as many as 15 mass extinctions and 10 extinctions minor all caused not by external events (such as the collapse of a large meteorite on the planet), but on the emergence and subsequent evolution of new species that, digging their own space in the ecosystem of the planet, however small, have come inevitably to delete the existing species and in fact incompatible with the new arrivals.
You know the new American settlers who actually phased tribes Indian in America? Here, something like that. In summary
Ward, with his theory of Medea, says that life seems to actively pursue its own end, leading to the Earth faster and faster when the inevitable day return to its original state: sterile. According to Ward
the process of self-destruction has already begun: the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere gradually decreases until it disappears, thus preventing photosynthesis and in fact the whole life cycle connected with it.
There is however some good news: the process, although started should be completed within 500 million years ... So there is still a bit 'of time for a movie and a good book!

L 'eco-diamond Pratolino


inaugurated, Saturday, Oct. 17, in Villa Park in Pratolino Demidoff, the "Diamond". It is a structure that weighs 30 tons, is 12 meters high and has a diameter of 8, all in glass and steel, capable of producing energy for the first time combining solar and hydrogen technology. The project is experimental in nature, was carried out by Enel in collaboration with the University of Pisa. The goal is to produce clean electricity through photovoltaic panels 38 and then store form of hydrogen within three balls that act as storage tanks and placed inside the panels.

The plant will have a power of 11 kilowatts and will provide energy to the Park Pratolino. Among other things, the energy accumulated from the Diamond should provide power to electric bikes that will be made available to park visitors.
For the first time you can then use the electricity produced by the panels during the day even at night, when they must return to the use of the network as photovoltaic panels, the absence of solar radiation are not able to produce energy . The
experimental technology applied in this project is today without doubt extremely expensive.
However laudable attempt that with time and thanks to the ongoing experiments could lead to less expensive facilities. ( to learn more about functional details, click with the mouse on the box "day" and "night").

The plant will be owned by Enel for free but will sell the energy created by it for use of Park Pratolino.

" Confessions of an eco- sinner "by Fred Pearce

Did you know that to make a wedding a few grams of gold on average it takes 2 tons of rock excavated to a depth of several kilometers and 5 tons of water? And
third of the products sold in our supermarkets contains palm oil in the manufacture of the forests are destroyed?
Did you know that is the production of cotton to have caused the disappearance of the Aral Sea, once the 4th largest lake in the world?
Here are just some of the information that you can discover by reading "Confessions of an eco-sinner" by Fred Pearce, (Edizioni Ambiente Euro 22.00).
Despite the title the book is not only interesting but presents a wide-ranging and well-documented strictly, the origin and destiny of all the products of common and daily use of which we can not (it seems) do less to live.
Pearce is a British journalist who works as an environmental consultant for the New Scientist. It took several years to visit many different places on our planet in order to know where they come from, who made them and at what cost to the environment, the products we use every day.
The survey of the gold mines of South Africa, to continue in the rainforests of Indonesia, Australia, Uzbekistan addressing all the issues that concern our daily consumption: food, clothing, computing, energy consumption, waste.
In these pages we find for example that the banana, one of the most eaten fruit in the world, being a mutant sterile and free from seeds and cultivated worldwide in a single variety in America, Asia and Africa, (the "Cavendish"), is seriously threatened by insects and diseases that may cause extinction.
Do not believe us? E 'already happened in the '50s when the banana varieties that were not power but the current one called "Gros Michel", according to experts richer and sweeter than today. It is unfortunately vulnerable to a fungus that caused definitive disappearance.
And again, the process of production of aluminum is one of the most expensive in energy terms and in terms of emissions of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
in the world are produced around 250 billion cans per year! Pearce, (which quotes several times in the book studies the Friends of the Earth) along the entire journey to discover the stages of production of a can from the region of Queensland (Australia) where one of the largest mining companies in the world, the Rio Tinto, extracts bauxite, which is then transported to Gladstone where it is refined to alumina. The production of aluminum has boundless ecological footprint. I quote a single fact: the production of a single tin results in the emission of 260 grams of CO2 or a quantity of gas sufficient to fill 300 cans!
The last part of the book is devoted to possible alternatives, namely the possibility that the second man Pearce has yet to save the planet and himself, as long as you decide to change course immediately. So we learn the importance of recycling: the recovery of aluminum from the return to the market which may result in energy savings of up to 3 / 4 of the cost of virgin aluminum production, the example of Tanzania where there is a trade fertile based on the recovery of used Western clothing, to arrive in Nairobi where the "Computers for Schools Kenya" recycles old computers from Europe and North America giving us then to schools across the country. Pearce finally gives us a framework of good examples to imitate, and already adopted by several cities in the world: the development of so-called "urban agriculture" in Valencia, the cooling system of buildings built in Toronto using the waters of Lake Ontario, the truck San Diego's trash fed with methane produced in landfills, and much more.
If the part dedicated to the research documented ineccepibibile is, of course not all the British journalist's personal views can be shared: as rightly pointed out in the preface to the book meteorologist Luca Mercalli, makes little sense to support the purchase of beans produced in Kenya and exported to the major European countries in the name of fair trade, much better choose to buy local seasonal produce. But apart from any conclusions, perhaps a bit 'rushed the book is really interesting and useful for those who want a complete picture of production processes and their impacts on the planet. I think it could be easily adopted by teachers in schools and in particular I find it useful to that process of acquisition of awareness and sense of responsibility that we set as its primary goal. In
fun latest film W. Allen the main character, (among other things supports the extension of capital punishment in all dog owners who do not collect the excrement of their pets!), argues that the human species is now composed only of individuals losers, selfish and cowardly, and therefore it is hopelessly doomed to extinction. Maybe by reading this uplifting as we try to give a glimmer of hope in the younger generation more ...

Sore Throat Blood In Phlegm

" Florence I would like to "by Giovanni Rodella

In anticipation of the day dedicated to Florence and promoted by the new City Council, and gladly receive public a letter from John Rodella, an activist of the Friends of the Earth away from 1998.
John, a professional photographer, kindly gave us some of his photos, which we publish in support of the article, taken in the city and unfortunately shows what he says.

"Dear Michael, I'm glad
's initiative" Give a kiss to Florence "carried out by' current mayor, which allows me to make some considerations. The first is, I think, to awaken in us the" sense Civic "dormant now forgotten by many previous administrations: one of the involvement of all citizens, in other words those who would like a city, (our) most 'liveable and who will fight sincerely against the deterioration now it' s obvious a few years ago, enough to make us feel powerless in the face of prevailing laxity, often due to not taking account of the few forces that had a glimmer of initiative "to do"!
You know better than me, in attempts to make us promoters, when ten years ago we started with the 'Councillor then to' Environment Sergio Paderi with the implementation of "Environmental Watch" in the Florentine squares, in gardens, for " Forte Belvedere "for the" Loggia dei Lanzi "All the Real and the District Councils.
We had some little experience, then, but we wanted to start another path that seemed to say, "come out" even by those places in our members to be vigilant, to see the document and not to solve problems along the streets, sidewalks, trails those related to mobility 'light (pedestrians and bicycles). The first of our association and the Environmental Surveillance intended only make "recommendations" to the authorities, especially the Municipal Police, which at first we could find available, (remember the detachment of Porta Romana) with specific verification of abandoned motorbikes, ferrous scrap bike abandoned both in racks and on sidewalks, potholes in the pavement or asphalt missing, dead pigeons, fountains, dirty, dog faeces and not, flowerbeds trampled by various camps, road signs damaged or no longer 'readable etc ...
Unfortunately, all this hard 'little ... Maybe we gave annoy someone or felt that there claims the right to services that were commonly delegated to the traffic police, or those were too many "reports" that the city could not support? It 's so we were deprived even of what the historical site that was for us a very important observation in piazza S. Spirit given to us in that command of the brigade in a free loan. When I arrived in Florence in '85 Mantua, everything seemed fine, palaces, churches, ancient streets, I say to everyone: a city on a' man. I chose this city ', not for work (though they possessed one) and even to love someone.
I was bewitched by his light colors of its landscape, its hills e. .. also the sense of freedom that a single life I could give.
Sometimes during the 'year came to visit my mother and I remember that she went to visit museums, churches and then wander through the old streets of downtown. And I invite you to observe all that for me was the "beautiful" once told me: "But if I look in the air I do not see where you're going!" A safe distance of time I realized (now that my mother has disappeared and I have a few more years'), the difficulty of walking on uneven streets and sidewalks ... and girotondi between a bike and Gymkhana on allucchettata (already) narrow sidewalks or scooters on pedestrian crossings. And if you go by bike you can not go to that nonsense as the "sense right "it just gives the motorized vehicle, as if riding a bike in the center was a sport for someone to time wasters who have nothing to do. A cyclist has to pay attention to a myriad of details including the coach of tourists lost if air always take it very comfortable. so long now I enjoy more 'this city, I try to leave the house as little as possible ... What a shame! I thought something had improved over the years and yet it is precisely those "little things" that contribute to improving the quality of life that make you feel those who live in the heart a person is "lucky" that had been distorted.
with you Michael about these things we talked about it many times, but now I want to once again to express confidence in this new council, because the hope and the only thing I have left. I believe that many Florentines have left the old town to build a new home elsewhere, beyond the boulevards or in other metropolitan suburbs, for the reasons described above, because they understood that we live a bit more 'outside the village and interest (the houses in the center are too expensive!). Today the town is mainly inhabited by a humanity that pout pourry various exploits Florence for their own ends, but that often does not love her. This we can easily be found by looking at doors, the shutters, the sidewalks of homes often dirty, from which we get only a sense of abandonment. We see from 'misuse where waste bins are placed are not compatible, the rudeness of patrons of nightclubs that until then 'alba do not make you sleep, why come out of these, continue to speak out loud as if the decibels of the music were still present there, for not to mention the fact that makes the 'alcohol, urinating anywhere, leaving dirt everywhere. The times, we know, have changed and it is right to pursue the fashion to have the SUV or large-displacement motorcycles darting at night in the streets of Florence, just because it is especially important to "show" and "own" more 'to appreciate the world around us.
You can tell from this tourism "hit and run" where no one is prevented from bringing home some souvenirs, and when I see the "junk" or those ugly posters that make up the carpet in the center, where almost no image as Florence is concerned, I feel defeated by the culture of bad taste. To observe the tourists taking pictures without looking first, (because if so then they will see on the PC at home), it seems to me that we have lost the sense of emotional admire to know.
And, as a result of your post on the issue "rounds" to your blog: http://chepianetafaremo.blogspot.com/2009/07/tra-ronde-e-intendenti.html are d 'agreement that we can , we must react against a reaction that we recognize as instrumental to a more 'police (see the name) with a form of environmental surveillance as the 'we understood we had to first in the late nineties and that reminds me of the "Hells Angels" in Milan where even the "diversity" and minority groups (such as immigrants or homosexuals) are considered of these groups committed to solidarity. Here, it is from this basis that I would go to anti-discrimination even try to turn back to Florence a liveable city. "
Love, John Rodella

My Hand Hurts When They Put Shots Mt Hand

Effecorta, a sale of all products on tap


The area could only be that: Capannori, the first town in Tuscany in 2008 to have achieved and exceeded the considerable share of 60% of collection and where it has long been the practice for domestic waste collection system called the "Porta a Porta."
The forward-looking administration of this town in the Province of Lucca has set itself the goal of becoming by 2020 a "zero waste town" and is also in this context that the initiative was born Effecorta.

This is the first shop in Tuscany and one of the first of its kind in Italy, which markets products that are on tap: wine, oil, beer, cereals of all kinds, as well as detergents and dairy products like cheese and dairy products. Already on sale are more than 100 different products on tap. But not only. How did
kindly explained Peter Angelini, one of six founding members of the cooperative at the head of this beautiful entrepreneurship: "All products purchased from us come from short chain, or from companies that produce them to no more than 70 km away from Capannori."
"Among the goals we have set ourselves is also what - Angelina continues to offer our customers the opportunity to purchase a product in the quantities that need really to each family and not to those which often require us to market and supermarkets and bargain always reusing the same container.

According to a survey Federconsumatori choosing instead of packaged products on tap, an average Italian family can save more than € 700.00 per year.
goes without saying then that this type of spending, removing cartons, bottles, and in general most of the packaging is not only cost-effective but prevents the production of a good chunk of our household waste and therefore pollute less.

In the future, the creators of Effecorta would be able to open several new stores of its kind in Tuscany and the wish to do them is what they really can do it.
Effecorta at the point which is located in Viale Europa, 224 loc. Marlia (Capannori - Lucca) was also activated an ATM environment where you can get all the useful information on new sustainable technologies, installation of photovoltaic panels on tax breaks.

How To Change Head On Tripod

Oslo bus to bio-methane from solid waste human


The key to the ' clean energy? It can also pass on our poo ...
And 'what is going to do the city of Oslo in Norway.
Oslo, which it aims to become one of the capitals most environmentally sustainable the world (target: zero emissions by 2050), decided to follow the path of starting production of biomethane from its two sewage treatment plants and then use it as fuel for its 80 municipal buses.
The biomethane is biogas produced through a refining process that leads to a rate of about 95% purity, which has enabled it to be used as fuel for motor vehicles.
also a common landfill of municipal waste normally produces biomethane. The only difference is that in this case, its share is around 45%, too low to be used as fuel for vehicles, but still good enough to be burned to produce heat or electricity. In our case instead of the high proportion of the biogas is achieved through a controlled process in the absence of oxygen and that this is called anaerobic digestion.
A series of micro-organisms decompose any organic compound (human waste, kitchen waste, green waste, slaughterhouse waste, etc..) Producing precisely CH4, or methane.
Set up a production facility like this is not, to date, very economical. However, the accounts at hand, the product should be obtained to cost about 40 euro cents per liter less than the cost of a liter of diesel (0.75 € for biomethane against the current price of about € 1.15 a liter of diesel Norway).
The immediate benefits will be:
- will be intercepted much of the approximately 17,000 tons of CO2 that would otherwise have been produced through the incineration of the same waste
- each of the 80 buses will avoid placing itself in ' air about 44 tonnes of CO2;
- besides being neutral for the emissions of CO2 to the combustion of biogas produces 78% less nitrogen oxides, 98% less particulate matter than burning diesel oil, without considering the low noise of the same vehicles;
Contrary to bioethanol from grains and plants, biomethane has the added advantage of not affecting the food resources, or require the use of fertilizers and water.
close with a rather significant figure: a city like Oslo (250,000 inhabitants) is able to determine thus fuel sufficient to take a year to each of its 80 bus adapted around 100,000 km. Without the proper proportions
a city like Milan, with more than 1,300,000 inhabitants, could produce something like 10 million a year and a half gallons of fuel sufficient to work by bus 300 to 100,000 km each.
In Europe, this system has already been adopted in France, the city of Lille and Sweden in Stockholm.

Hello everyone ....


By now the everyday life is increasingly busy and veleco .... but the increase of people who cazzeggiano facebook is awesome .... but let's keep this thing ..... what I did maybe it hit the news two weeks ago ..... The seizure of Punta Perotti was ruled illegal .... so ..... for now the European Union Mataresse & Co. will have only a reimbursement of attorneys' fees for argued that until now (€ 40,000) but this opens the possibility to sue the Italian state for an amount of EUR 300 million ..... so you could not be built where, in addition to not go to jail to make Materesse (President is dellla Football League) will use a lot of money .....
