03/31/2006 Tanti volti e tante esperienze diverse per dare voce alla sostenibilitą. Si č aperta oggi "Terra Futura" la mostra-convegno internazionale delle buone pratiche di sostenibilitą (Firenze Fortezza Da Basso, venerdģ 31 marzo – domenica 2 aprile). Alla sua terza edizione, l’evento si propone come veicolo di sensibilizzazione anche politica sui temi della sostenibilitą. «Alla Fortezza - sostiene Ugo Biggeri, presidente della Fondazione Culturale Responsabilitą Etica Onlus - si darą visibilitą ad argomenti di cui non si sta parlando in questa campagna elettorale; “materia” su cui non si fa “politica”, né politiche. Terra Futura rappresenta, in questo senso, un’occasione per costruire un’agenda di riflessione e di impegni per il futuro governo». Terra Futura 2006 č promossa e organizzata dalla Fondazione Culturale Responsabilitą Etica Onlus per conto del sistema Banca Etica (Banca Etica, Consorzio Etimos, Etica SGR, Rivista “Valori”) e da ADESCOOP - oltre che da numerose e importanti realtą e network.

Abusivismo costiero
03/31/2006 Presentato oggi a Park Life da Unep/Map (Programma Ambiente Mediterraneo dell’Onu) e Legambiente il Dossier sullo stato di salute delle coste del Mediterraneo. La presentazione del dossier ha praticamente inaugurato Park Life, secondo salone e dei parchi e del vivere naturale organizzato da Legambiente, Federparchi, Compagnia dei Parchi e Fiera di Roma fino a domenica prossima presso la Fiera di Roma. 20.000 chilometri di coste rocciose e sabbiose, di zone umide, di estuari, delta e stagni costieri sono stati cancellati dal Mar Mediterraneo, su 46.000 complessivi. Il cemento sottrae quindi alla natura il 40% dei litorali, delicate zone di transizione tra mare e terra, dove vive il 7% di tutte le specie marine mondiali. Ma questa cifra č destinata a crescere: entro il 2025 oltre il 50% delle coste mediterranee sarą cementificato. Č la previsione del Dossier sullo stato dei litorali del Mediterraneo, elaborato dal Plan Bleu dell’Unep/Map.

Treno TAV alta velocitą
03/28/2006 Salvaguardia dei diritti dell'utente e potenziamento del servizio ferroviario pubblico sono stati i temi della Giornata di mobilitazione nazionale di venerdi 24 marzo in tutte le stazioni d'Italia dal Movimento No Tav della Val di Susa, cui hanno aderito anche Legambiente e comitati dei pendolari. Dal Piemonte alla Sicilia sono molte le stazioni e i treni su cui sono stati organizzati presidi ed č stato distribuito materiale informativo a cittadini, pendolari e lavoratori delle ferrovie per chiedere il potenziamento del servizio pubblico e ottenere nuovi treni e treni piu' puntuali, sicuri e affidabili. ''La questione ferroviaria - ha dichiarato Roberto Della Seta presidente di Legambiente - č una questione nazionale. Invece di investire in grandi opere bisognerebbe dare la prioritą ad interventi di ammodernamento della rete nazionale nelle tratte pił frequentate".

03/22/2006 The Eko Kvarner association believes that the decision of the Government of Croatia to establish a working group for the construction of LNG (liquid natural gas) is wise and sensible. According to Eko Kvarner, the establishment of the Working Group creates the necessary conditions for quality selection of location of the Terminal, provided that all activities of the LNG are fully transparent.

03/22/2006 Udruga Eko Kvarner smatra da je odluka Vlade Republike Hrvatske o osnivanju Radne skupine za gradnju terminala za ukapljeni prirodni plin (donesena na 148. sjednici održanoj 16. ožujka u Zagrebu) mudra i razumna. Vjerujemo da su osnivanjem Radne skupine stvoreni preduvjeti za kvalitetan izbor lokacije za plinski terminal, pod uvjetom da sve aktivnosti Radne skupine budu u popunosti transparentne.

Discarica abusiva - da Legambiente
03/22/2006 Il presidente della Repubblica ha rinviato al Parlamento il decreto legislativo che attua la legge delega in materia ambientale. La legge delega riorganizza le procedure per la valutazione ambientale strategica (Vas), per la valutazione di impatto ambientale (Via) e per l'autorizzazione ambientale integrata (Ippc). Il provvedimento inoltre detta norme sulla difesa del suolo, la lotta alla desertificazione, la tutela delle acque dall'inquinamento e la gestione delle risorse idriche, la gestione dei rifiuti e bonifiche, la tutela dell'aria e la riduzione delle emissioni in atmosfera, nonché sul danno ambientale. “Č il funerale della Delega ambientale” - ha commentato Francesco Ferrante, direttore generale di Legambiente. “Il Presidente della Repubblica – commenta Ferrante – ha ascoltato gli accorati appelli di cittadini, associazioni ambientaliste e enti locali”. La legge delega sull'ambiente era stata definita dalle associazioni ambientaliste una vergogna perché apre una deregulation senza limiti sui rifiuti, reintroduceva la tassa rifiuti ed la totale disincentivazione della raccolta differenziata, facendo marcia rispetto agli obiettivi del Decreto Ronchi, anche grazie al passaggio al regime di volontarietą dei consorzi.
