garbage & sustainability


"2 kg less" is the title of a new campaign that legambiente (the main Italian environmental association) just started

the motto is: if every Italian produced 2 kg of garbage less in 1 year there could be space in the Italian dumping grounds for all the trash accumulated recently in Campania. ok, it's not a way to solve the problem, because we cannot just rely on other regions. but it's the right message to send, in this moment, to the whole country: a more responsible and sustainable approach to what we put in the trash bin (as was pointed out in a comment to my first "garbage" post)

let's hope most people really catch it, and not only those who are already responsible

here are a couple of links (in Italian):
due chili in meno
documenti sull'emergenza rifiuti in Campania
il rapporto Ecomafia 2007
