METAMORPHOSIS GREEN Gianluca Santini
When we stopped at traffic lights when we are at work, when we are at home, let's take a moment to reflect on our surroundings. The exhaust fumes of the car stopped in front of us, the litter that accumulates, the ubiquitous plastic and garbage abandoned. Small details that are sometimes perceived only on a subconscious level, but are not actively cultivated by the human being rushed and distracted these days, and yet it is precisely these small details and attention that is devoted to effective environmental policy is based . Policy in a broad sense, both nationally and for each citizen that seeks to change the their behavior and their way of life to aim at a life with lighter environmental impact, and why not, at least. The significance of these environmental aspects may also diminish the strength of will more solid: reducing air emissions, climate change, the waste problem, are all problems of large scale, global scale. It is logical and understandable so that it is easier to resign in the current state of affairs, resigned to believe that they can not do anything to improve the situation, to resign themselves to an ordinary life for this company squandered and consumerism. And it is obvious to change this attitude that created such books as "The Little Green book - 99 ideas to save the Earth "by Ruth Cullen. This small pocket-sized booklet is aimed at those who just want to do something, because it is only through the change of the small details of everyday life that we can address the changing environmental conditions of our beloved planet.
Edited by Astraea Publishing, this book presents an elegant green cover that encloses the 160 pages that explained 99 tips, practical and workable in everyday life, to improve the our environmental impact. They range from the containment of waste, such as water, heat and electricity, targeted advice on recycling, until consumption aware, through even a page on Fair Trade. The manual shows how you can, by changing little details of our daily lives, reduce emissions of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, reduce the amount of waste generated and how to behave as a consumer more aware and therefore able to understand how their own choice of ' acquisition is less environmental impact than another. Inside the book 99 ideas to save the Terrail initial step is just to a gradual change of its attention to ecological aspects of their existence, since everything in nature is connected: as pieces of a puzzle to be huge to fit perfectly, every action we do involves reaction of our planet. Let our actions favorable to the Earth. We try to break away from dependence on fossil fuels and oil: we aim to renewable energy. We seek an economic and social system that does not preclude the development of future generations, we have made sustainability the focus of economic processes. We try to reuse what you can reuse: minimizing waste reduces waste and prevents the loss forever of the sources of energy and life. We try to be aware when we go to buy: the money, our money, to run the world and if we start to buy in full awareness of the environment and social equity we can exercise our power consumers in the best way possible.
All these seem to once again of great magnitude, but are much easier if everyone adopts the ideas presented by a book like this: respect nature and she will respect us, we act without conscience and collect, as the we are reaping the consequences of a careless use of resources in the world. But if we start with these 99 ideas to improve just a little of our life in relation to the environment then we will start to move toward a more respectful of our planet, not as a pest as we are now. The route to self-destruction that we have taken is still reversible, just wanting to. 99 views are ready to help in the transition to a greener life, but 100 ° is around the corner, it is in our minds, our hearts: we have an active role on the world, we exercise our freedom to choose and act for us for the future and the planet.
