Washing The Brazilian Weavon

Schizophrenia bicycle





Look at the two photos that we offer. It might seem hard to believe, but it is the same square, or the pedestrian area of \u200b\u200bPiazza Anco Marzio. Coming from Old Station Street is the sign of no access for bicycles; coming from the promenade you can find the columns of the new green bike sharing point of the town hall XIII, debuting. There is enough for an attack of schizophrenia.
schizophrenia has been so far the attitude of City Hall. The agency of the Municipality of Rome and Ostia Bike Association XIII both point the finger at the choices Vizzani. It does not in fact part of the municipal regulations prohibit pedestrian access for bicycles. It 's a local decision that gives us all a sad record of continental Europe.
"We shot several European countries by bike - we confirm the stand of Ostia bike this last Sunday at the festival EnergyDay - and we never found a square closed to pedestrian and transit of bicycles. We hope that the municipal government think again. "
The town, of course, does not want to be outdone. Despite ad-spot that would see Rome as the next eco-capital, the mayor Alemanno would do well to surgery to stimulate the use of bicycles instead of putting fancy bollards. Those who choose to associate a folding bike to public transportation, according to municipal regulations, must pay an additional ticket, in addition to their own.
to be photographed with the gurus of environmentalism world, dear mayor, are all capable. Put in place policies to set the environment is another thing.

How To Make Your Hair Less Poofy Guys

From theory to practice: compost at school

Here is my article published in the latest edition of the magazine of the CC2013 (www.cc2013.it)

To our knowledge the first example is composting school: in the courtyard of Via Capo d'Armi school was opened a composter that will transform organic waste into fertile soil of the young students of snacks.
We treated a few weeks ago, during which experts on recycling Anselmo Falbo and Silvana Denicolò have conducted classes at the fifth district. From classroom theory to practice has been passed. This time was the expert Fulvia Causio to show children how to up a compost bin, how to choose the suitable land and organic waste to be used.
"The guys have responded enthusiastically to our requests - we explain the cause, pointing to the heap of salad, bread and fruit peels - have preserved the remains of meals, citrus peel and stale bread. We made them understand how you can make a compost bin, the importance of dead wood at the base to aerate the compost, the balance between wet and dry foods to ensure the success of the soil. "
The hope is that other local schools do the same. "Our goal is the future - says the Cause -. About 10 years to throw their leftovers in a compost bin and not in a trash can, to pretend that 20 of the waste ends up in your community recycling center and composting and landfill. "

Gold Grills In Atlanta

Eco-bike tour, he repeats

My article published in the latest edition of the magazine of the Civic Committee Duemilatredici



The world of associations of Ostia and the coast can be found this year in a major event-pedaling by respect for the environment.
After the success of last year (about 500 cyclists from the small schools in the town hall XIII) repeating this year. And they look even better.
In the month of May will return the Eco-Bike Tour, a bike ride through the streets of Ostia, which ends at the park where the stands of Rosa Peter environment operators are waiting for the young horse.
But this year the organization decided to expand to all the organizations that make sustainability their beliefs: they teach kids how to ride a bike, how to fix it and how to deal with traffic signals (and why not, at the thirteenth hole ). The waste disposal experts will explain the importance of recycling and recovery. Artists - waders, sculptors, inventors, and even cartoons - bring evidence that an object is not disposed of as waste. Compostaggio.I teach others to do the guru of renewable energy instead strike a blow with the wind and sun and will pull the other - metaphorically speaking - against those who insist on defending coal and oil.
short, the local associations are alive and invest more on youth. From there, the hope part.
