Stomach And Legs Aching

Public Services and Liberty Waste - Let's try to change their behavior

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?
  • When you go shopping, I always wore canvas bags from home?

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?

  • are spreading now solar panels, but we are thinking about how to retrieve these materials in twenty years? We are repeating the mistakes of the past?

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.
