Water is a commons , All of us. Its management must be public.
To really understand environmental issues , we must completely change the way we think about what is right and useful. We all know that waste is a problem, but most of us think that there will always be waste. It is thought to waste as a problem only to limit, but never overcome.
But waste not exist in nature! If come up before, it must be an anomaly, a mistake. Option ZERO WASTE is the natural one. It 's absurd not be able to pursue it!
The real problem is not to dispose of waste. The real problem is to stop eating badly and wasting materials and energy. The real problem is to find the strength to put us all in the game, changing our habits, starting from small and insignificant!
When you brush your teeth, always lock the water while you brush them? 
should convert the plants to produce artifacts recovered. This is a big investment that can be financed from resources saved by eliminating waste in the future. Today we do not succeed because we are not capable, we do not have the courage and it is not convenient for the economic system that takes advantage of current dall'assetto. We need new laws to promote a new business model.
should be designed more forward-looking . The invention of plastic has been really good for the economy? If the plastic bottle carries its true environmental costs (including the impact of dispersal), perhaps we will come back to the glass?
In the XXI century think we are free, but we are only free to be! We are slaves to consumption patterns that are transmitted as needed.
We are no longer free to decide what we like and what no, what is needed and what is not, what is right and what is not.
If we become aware of this fact , we can not expect to change our culture, economic, cultural and environmental.

WATER AND WASTE IN THE CENTER-LEFT
Two major problems, two great opportunity!
NONSOLORIFIUTI
To understand and find a credible solution to the problem of the incinerator in Parma, the center-left has decided to address with clarity the question of public environmental services. The problem of proper waste management, it should be added that the proper water management. On the latter issue, we have the impression that the center-left is going on something of a paradox: on the one hand, its political claim to basically not in favor of economic importance of water service, and second, these same forces peacefully accepted fact that today Iren and Hera (the ex-municipal with significant private equity) manage water services for most of the municipalities in our region, in stark contrast to the numerous resolutions, agendas, proposals for statutory changes, which propagate in many councils.
In the province of Parma, as well as Iren, we have two wholly owned operating the public water service (Emiliambiente and Mountain 2000). These two companies will soon have to deal with the legislation on privatization, in an uncertain regulatory environment (we do not know if the referenda will be held) and it is not clear what will be the institution that will inherit the powers of the Authority (Territorial Area ) that, except for plot twists, will be dropped later this year.
THE BUSINESS OF SUPER ATO
From the point of view of one of the gestures waste must be recognized that the abolition of the ATO can overcome one of the most important reasons that motivated the decision to build an incineration plant in Parma. With the abolition of the ATO, skip the logic of "territorial" for which each province must be fully self-sufficient in waste disposal. On the other hand, it is unclear who will inherit the powers of the ATO, in How will managed the relationship with the territories and that spatial planning will be designed for managers of services.
In these s ettimane you hear talk of a possible transfer to the Region of the current comp and powers of the ATO. If the place of strategic decisions and org anizzative will be moved to Bologna, it is very likely that the small municipalities in addition to not being consulted in major decisions (as is the case now), they will more easily confront and contain the industrial policies of gr andi managers (Iren and Hera) aimed increasingly to maximize the pro thick. Decision making on service re schiano of consultation beyond the area of \u200b\u200bprovincial capitals and a few other privileges.
THE ROLE OF THE REGION
The attitude that the region will art icle after passing the ATO will then determine the future of all societies in the area. We fear that from this point of view in the center-left ruling class, despite the push from the bottom in defense of public water, there is a fund that accepts resignation of water privatization as an accepted fact, decided irreversible and inevitable.
S IS A NEW TOPIC REGIONAL WASTE
With proper environmental policy seems viable in order to prepare a regional plan to arrive thirty years of gradually turning off all the incineration plants and that:
Our proposal is therefore to be limited not to seek an alternative solution to the incinerator in Parma, but to re-discuss the whole regional system to stop building these facilities and time off existing ones!
We think so, so much the game over the groove neritore , you agree that the water today in Bologna. But we have the perception that these issues in the center-left there is the embarrassment and the fear of challenging the current system, which now provides the highest profit sector environment of Irene and Hera.
ENTERED THE COUNTRY ON THE LEFT
If the center-left continue to proclaim the one hand the sacred principles of the defense of individual rights and the environment, both sides will continue to endorse and support the programs of economic powers, will continue the haemorrhage of votes from those disillusioned voters expressing their treble through the turnout and the vote to protest movements. The result that the Movement has achieved five stars in April, should remind us that the ambiguity only bring balance to the political arena.
Today this delicate transition on incinerator and water may represent a problem, but if there is the ability to use them to set a policy that focuses on individuals and the collective good, then they will become an opportunity for us to express ourselves and act in a clear, consensus and recover really bring the country to the Left!
Guccio of the notes, here's a roundup of people opposed to the incinerator in Parma. People who put their faces because they have developed the theme and know what you speak.
I do not have the solution in your pocket, but I clearly understood that in Emilia we have eight-Romagna incinerators with nine fireplaces. And I do not understand why we have to do another only by virtue of the principle of provincial autonomy. A principle that is convenient to have it that Hera and Iren plants to make a profit.
I am convinced that if we really wanted the political , we can give the plant of Parma, even if the design is well advanced. Just get around a table and think about the many actions that can be carried out within the next two decades during which all the other off.
Waste not exist in nature. I am a design fault which you can put riemedio. Just re-organized. But if we do not try, if we give up before even trying, then we politicians are only the sad economic powers of notaries.

This is a very important maneuver because will enable the City to release capacity investment in the coming years (especially in the first 5) or in a period when you still feel the effects of the economic crisis.
The remaining debt will be spread in next thirty years generating long-term increased spending offset by lower spending for the first ten years.
The move stems from the need to cope with lower revenues that will occur in coming years, but also to express clearly the choice of economic recovery through increased spending power by the entity.
The resources will be freed from this renegotiation will indeed be used for new investments.
sound management of public debt economy makes it possible to turn, to generate quality of life which then translates into wealth distributed on territory and then again in revenue for the institution.

Network common is the participatory process that we started with the Coordination of Associations for the purpose of networking projects, share and promote the area and to identify the municipal contributions to be paid.
The recent decline in economic resources available to municipalities and other public bodies, together with the period of economic recession impose review of policies for providing Grants to outside parties.
The municipality must ensure fact, the principal economic resources necessary for their operation and the provision of services under its jurisdiction. Today, the challenge administration is realized in the ability to contain expenditure and to implement its policies in the territory, using fewer resources.
It is therefore necessary to design a new course to reconcile with the scarcity of resources made by the planning and land administration policy goals.
The underlying principle is that to put projects at the center of the new rules. The project "common network" originated during the meeting of the association between 17/05/2010 and Administration, during which we faced the problem of rethinking the approach to the subject of contributions.
occasion was activated a working group between Administration and Coordination of Associations to try to share new rules. The result of the working group has resulted in the establishment of the experimental project "Common network", illustrated and discussed with the charities on 12 October.
The new rules provide that requests for assistance from the associations to be submitted by 30/11/2010 for the construction of projects for the year 2011. Contributions will be paid based on the quality of the projects will be evaluated by the Administration together with the Coordination of Associations.

We must aim to awaken the conscience of the Italian on the social values \u200b\u200bof reference: we can not build an alternative political hope in Providence.
Certainly the views expressed by Fini opened a crack in the majority but not a turning point in the political thinking that dominates the country. I predict that the initiative of Fini, the pair eventually strengthen Tremonti-League is now the most reactionary exists in Italy.
admit that it would be helpful if there was now a majority in parliament to replace the current electoral law, but little trust in a technical solution based only on common sense. I hope the PD will not be lured by easy political solutions but do not address the crux of the matter: the country today still expresses a right-wing majority.
The aim must be to lead the country Left, not to move to the right to govern.

Hello. Mirko
-> The results on WHAT, WHERE, WHEN the factory.
"City of Light" is the name of the project with which the City of Colorno system will make a number of initiatives on the reduction and recovery of waste.
The aim is to raise awareness of local communities on these issues. For this reason, the project involves different actors: from families to shops, condominium associations.
The project is promoted by the Environment Department and the Public Service , in collaboration with the Public Education. The School will participate in the project working together to Colorno audits of ongoing and production of brochures and fact sheets on proper waste management.
Tuesday, August 30 assessors and Mirko Reggiani Marco Boschini have shown that retailers have joined the project the first of five planned activities, which is to foster and dissemination of cloth diapers.
These days, all families of children born in 2010 will receive a letter in which the assessors Boschini Reggiani invite moms and dads to go to City Hall to pick up a free test kit of cloth diapers along with a discount of 50 Euro, which will be recognized when purchasing a supply of cloth diapers at the two stores conventions: Silvia and A & O Pharmacy Colorno Food.
The economic incentive for those who use cloth diapers is key because it recognizes the commitment to produce less waste. In practice is how to benefit from a discount rate because they decrease the waste.
Other incentives will be awarded by the Environmental Commission to stores that are involved and "Shop Light, activating in turn best practice waste reduction. These stores are then accredited by the City of Colorno as virtuous exercises, along with condominiums that will stand out better in the collection.
The project involves the collaboration of the transmission serivzio (Enìa) in the monitoring of collections and will involve AUSER Colorno with the action "re-use " on the recovery of durable goods discharged. In brief, an initiative to create networks of best practice on waste.
In case the project should benefit the provincial contribution will also activated the action "Take Sporta " Ban the bags of plastic and will be filmed at the school more funding for the collaboration in action.
