SAVE THE RAINFOREST So San Martino also attended the event to raise awareness about energy conservation. In one of our previous post (click
HERE to read) dared to claim that the lack of exposure of the Christmas lights had to be ascribed to a changed sensitivity of our government against this problem. We continue to believe that instead of negligence and is treated only lightly, but we are ready to go back on our beliefs and accept that there is a new course of events, sensitive to changes taking place.
the dark night and we are now more accustomed to the evening of February 12 more than seeing the torch was no need to raise his eyes to heaven. We enjoyed a show that now the headlights contribute (along with pollution) not to get more taste. The hunter Orion, and the his belt was at the center of stars, just on the zenith. Slightly to the right (looking south), the Pleiades, the fuzzy cloud (with a simple 8x30 binoculars becomes a unique show ...), Aldebaran and Sirius had so obsolete by now a city lit up. Entertainment no longer enjoyable by St. Martin because of unsuitable lighting. Casts light upwards and this, useless, wasteful. It is also worth mentioning that in some regions, including the nearby Veneto, operates a law regulating the implementation of such systems, both to save energy, but to allow us to enjoy the most beautiful night show, goes around over our heads. Entertainment that evening del12 February was for sure more interesting than the torch .... we had an impression of this sad, accomplice the darkness, the lack of participation. We expected a happy brigade, a banquet, also saw the upcoming carnival ... The impression, maybe wrong but that we had was that it was a procession to commemorate the 'anniversary of some collective disaster, the disappearance of a friend, a torch here and there, in short, a bad feeling! I do not believe a successful event. If it is repeated next year, organizers procure otherwise, we insist, it was really depressing!
said that there like to emphasize that we consider this type of events to benefit almost nothing. In particular it would be desirable for the government and some "sponsor" commit the resources necessary to really save energy. Being present with its graphic symbols on advertising, let now the time is, anyone interested, a few enchants. We are not referring only to public illumination up and waste electricity.
From the image can be seen as the local multi-utility SPA has not insulated its local production, processing and distribution of energy (electricity and district heating). The terrace is In fact, strangely and completely clear of snow in contrast to the ground in the foreground and the roofs of buildings in the background. Infrared detectors are not needed to understand the magnitude of disturbances.
By analogy and association of ideas comes to mind a famous production of tea. The package ensures that the leaves are from at least 50% organically grown and protected areas by the Rainforest Alliance. Everything is certified by the graphic symbol of the same. All right, finally a producer and sensitive preparation for the new course of care for the environment and the planet. But then discover that the bags containing tea, instead of very natural recyclable paper, plastic is indestructible, not really "friendly" environment. There is a very strong suspicion that all these events, placing of "logos and graphics, various sponsorships are simple complacency .....
