CAPS BINDERDo you know?

Caps are made of a very good plastic for recycling.

The association “Amici del Farnesina” will donate the income to San Gaetano church which supports helping projects for Africa like water provisions and wells

Rock your school” is a project where students take care of school.In Farnesina high school this project has been very successful.It consists of painting the walls outside the school and cleaning the garden.

IN ROME:In Rome there are lot of green parks but the most important are; Prati verdi della Bufalotta and Riserva naturale Decima Malafede.

• The green point Prati Verdi della Bufalotta was opened in October 2007. The Park was built on a public area not used until recently. The park covers about seventy thousand square meters. Entrance is free. But activities that take place in the sports club Maximo, inside the park, are to be paid.The Maximo hosts different types of facilities. Fifty different types of plants grow within the area.

• The Riserva Naturale Decima Malafede is the largest protected area in the park system managed by Roma Natura. A study of the WWF has recorded that there are more than 800 plant species. This area can also boast of human settlements dating back to the first prehistory time, approximately 250,000 years ago. The area can be taken as a model of the overall evolution of the Agro Romano.

GREEN@Hospital

Polyclinic Agostino Gemelli

Hospitals are known to be large energy consumers. Nowadays there is a growing urgency to achieve real energy

savings from existing building stocks and to build more sustainable new hospitals.

The Polyclinic Gemelli will become the first Green Hospital in Lazio

The GREEN@Hospital project aims at integrating the latest ICT solutions in order to obtain a significant energy saving in existing hospital buildings, through a better management of energy resources and losses reduction. This will be carried out by the realization of Web-based Energy Management and Control Systems – Web-EMCS. Four different hospitals have been selected across Europe to take part in the pilot project in order to demonstrate the validity of the proposed solution under real operating conditions.

Each hospital will make available specific areas selected considering the presence of: 1) renewable energy sources, 2) already available building management systems that can be easily integrated in the Web-EMCS, 3) refurnishing plans aiming at energy efficiency improvement.

The study will be the basis for possible replications of the solutions taking into account savings and return of investments.

Cleaning the beaches

In Lazio(my region) there is a project on the cleaning of the beaches

This is a project that consists of removing the garbage. It is made by an ECO assosiation WWF with the help of some volunteers.

According to FAO esteem a third of the food produced every year is lost or wasted, while 1 out of 7 people suffer from hunger and more than 20,000 children under the age of 5 die every day from hunger.

Thanks to this project, WWF is actively working to prevent and reduce food waste in all sectors, public and private.

Reducing food waste would have a positive effect on climate change, loss of biodiversity, over-exploitation of water resources, pollution, land degradation.

In Italy we are developing many projects in order to reduce the food waste. One of these is “THINK, EAT, SAVE" a project sponsored by FAO and of which it is also part WWF committed every day to reduce the carbon footprint of the food system.

Recycling Recycling means  turning  the materials  from waste into  something 

new.  One reason for recycling is that it reduces trash in landfills.

Recycling in Italy In  Italy  there  are many  environmental  associations  that  promote   

recycling   activities. The most important are: GREENPEACE, LEGAMBIENTE, WWF.  Although  the  efforts  done,  the  recycling  activities  in  urban  area 

cover only 34,9% of the total population 

Personal attitudes towards “Green Project” I  think  recycling  is  one  of  the  most  simple  and  efficient  ways  to 

improve our environment. Through  this  approach    in  the  future,  we  will  be  able  to  have  a 

better, more "green" and ecological quality of life.  The  only  constraint  to  become  a  “green  society”  is  represented  by 

the  limited  environmental  awareness  of  a  huge  part  of  the population.
