Cool Ways To Decorate An End Table

Atella not make the difference between poisons

Our common waste collection through a non-virtuous continues to feed a logic based on incineration and landfills.
Landfill which, however, the plan also locates provincial waste in our municipal , Cafaro in place, just beyond the "Madonna della Lauda.
Despite the good intentions of the municipal administration had as its objective the door to door (starting experimental in the center):

Quindi, un applauso all’Amministrazione di Atella che ha saputo affrontato costruttivamente il problema dei rifiuti attraverso la raccolta differenziata, dando fra l'altro ai cittadini l'opportunità di conferire i rifiuti con il sistema della raccolta a domicilio (solo per il centro storico in fase iniziale e da estendere successivamente a tutto il paese).
Citazione da un nota informativa diffusa dall'amministrazione comunale

...sembra che oggi si siano ravveduti e abbiano deciso di attivare una semplice raccolta multimateriale sull'intero territorio comunale.
From dossier "Municipalities Riciclone 2010" played by Legambiente shows the following data:

Atella (3899 inhabitants):
1.19 kg of waste per -capite/giorno 7.16% separate collection

Entering more specifically, from the Basilicata region BUR n. 48 of 16.12.2010, in addition to confirming the miserable figure of 7.16% of differentiated positions us to 61 th place on 119 common (12 municipalities do not differentiate their own) that make the collection in the region.
The 121.56 tonnes of waste are differentiated from a total of 1698.34 tonnes of municipal waste products, equivalent to 31.13 kg per capita of waste.

The multi-material collection does not allow percentage "acceptable" to separate (among other things, imposed by EU law and national), which leaves much of the waste going, in fact, incineration or landfilling .
The curbside collection or in their homes should remain a goal of zero waste strategy as a priority.

below the video of the conditions prevailing in the new landfill Atella: after the first has been to run out, they have provided for the expansion:

L ' Lucana Environmentalist Organization separate collection in Basilicata :

Basilicata Communes are still far from the targets set by the laws
The Leg. n.22/1997 (called Ronchi Decree) required to achieve 15% collection (RD) by 1999 and 35% by 2003, subsequently extended with the Decree. 152/2006 which was intended to achieve 45% of RD by 2008, 65% by 2012. In this series of extensions, which are justified by the failure to achieve the relative percentages (especially the South), followed by other n.296/2006 Act (Finance Act 2007) which established the highest standards: the achievement of 40% for the RD 2007, 50% for 2009 and 65% for 2011. Waiting in the new Waste Report 2010 ISPRA where you can compare the data of RD with other regions of Italy, the OLA (Organization Lucana Environmentalist) publish an analysis of regional data related to the management system for municipal solid waste ' year 2009 published on BUR (Official Gazette Regional) n.48 of 16/12/2010.
According to the departments in the Basilicata region, the percentage separate collection for the year 2009 stood at 11.52%, with the province of Potenza to 12.57% and 9.74% of the Matera. Out of a total of 131 municipalities are 119 municipalities (92 Potenza and Matera 27) to make the recycling of MSW, with the only two municipalities in Matera, and Montescaglioso Jonico Montalbano, exceeding the 50% rate of RD, only two common Lucan in line with the Finance Act 2007 which provided for the 50% target by 2009. Compared to a regional trend of 11.52% for 2009, Montescaglioso amounted to a percentage of 66.08% (reaching and surpassing the target of 65% by 2011 provided by the Finance Act 2007) and Montalbano Jonico to 59 , 31%. In fact, without the two "common virtuous", the province of Matera would drop to an average of 4.96% of recycling with a regional figure to 8.76%. The two common "Riciclone" shall also comply with the regional plan of wastes of setting targets of 35% from the sixth year after the entry into force of the Decree (February 2003), while the regional plan of power was updated in 2008 the introduction of new parameters collection that went from 35% provided by the Ronchi Decree of 60% provided for by Legislative Decree no. n.152/2006, this action is necessary to reduce the granting of waste in landfills but now it is sterile under-emergency ordinances extending the "tour of rubbish" and the continued provision of such waste at the incinerator and which EDF-Phoenix, as well as regional tenders through project financing to build new incinerators thesis, false use of biomass power stations and cement plants to burn CDR (derived fuel waste).
To this it follows that there are still 12 municipalities that do not Lucania waste separation, 33 municipalities that do not reach even 5% of collection, including those with the black shirt: Tricarico (0.14%), Accettura and Trecchina (0.22%), Valsinni (0.99%), Tursi (1.12%), Grottole (1.27%), Montemilone (1.50%), Policoro (1.63%) , and 25 other municipalities that do not reach the level of 5%.
With a total production amounted to 225,324.73 tons of waste per year throughout the region and production per capita per capita amounted to 382.07 kg, the data in the BUR n. 48 of 16/12/2010 of the table Tv .2 - Separate collection belongs to exhibit - show that the percentages to the production of 25,953.30 tons of waste collection are distributed as follows: 6.65% by wet organic fraction (only the province of Matera), 37% paper and paperboard; 17% glass 10% plastic, 5% of WEEE from multi-material 13%, 6% from metals and wood, with the remaining 6% split for the surroundings textiles, medicines, garden waste e parchi, contenitori TFC, batterie e accumulatori, vernici, inchiostri, adesivi e resine, oli vegetaili, oli minerali, altro, così descritti dalla tabella. Rapportando le stesse frazioni merceologiche alla produzione totale di rifiuti, vale a dire a 225.324,73 t., le percentuali calcolate sono le seguenti: 0,76% da frazione organica umida; 4,23% da carta e cartone; 1,96% da vetro; 1,10% da plastica; 0,54% da RAEE; 1,55% da multimateriale, 0,60% da metalli e legno; con il restante 0,78% da suddividere alle restanti frazioni merceologiche a raggiungimento della quota percentuale regionale 11,52%.
Secondo l’ultimo rapporto ISPRA 2009 la produzione di rifiuti in Basilicata si attestava a 228.215 t.. with output per capita to 386 kg per inhabitant (data referring to 2008). This comparison shows that waste generation in 2009 would be reduced to -1.26%, with about 2,898 t. less waste. As regards the data relating the percentage of collection, compared to 2008 (9.1%) would have had a change of +2.42%.
The first 10 municipalities for waste collection in Basilicata:
1. Montescaglioso 66 , 08%
2. Montalbano Jonico 59,31%

Melfi Fiat and the incinerator In the Valley of the Phoenix

My last trip to the "waste connection" Luke, from the abandoned chemical sick Valley Basento the phosphogypsum Tito's underground stop, he stopped at the gates of the Vulture. This is where lies - in the business plan of San Nicola di Melfi - the incinerator Fenice SpA (headquartered in Cascine Vica Rivoli, near Turin), controlled the Electric de France (EDF). A system that for over two years continues to pollute the aquifer and the area of \u200b\u200bthe river Ofanto workers.
A pollution will worsen, especially in light of the recent Services Conference, held December 14 last year, during which the presence of Basilicata and ARPAB was decided on an extension of 45 days for approval of the Document risk analysis, " causa assenza dell’Azienda Sanitaria Locale di Venosa e dell’amministrazione provinciale in rappresentanza del Consorzio di sviluppo industriale. Di fatto, si allontanano ulteriormente le procedure del piano di caratterizzazione e la conseguente bonifica del sito inquinato, mentre metalli pesanti, trielina e altre sostanze cancerogene non scompaiono.

Danni, profitti ed omissioni
L’inceneritore EDF-Fenice spa è uno dei più grandi d’Europa per smaltimento di rifiuti industriali che assorbe la quasi totalità di scorie prodotte dal settore automobilistico italiano. Una costola dello stabilimento Fiat Sata su 85.700 metri quadrati di terreno, 110 miliardi di vecchie lire come investimento iniziale - Of which 60.5 billion soft loan and a request for state contribution amounted to 19.8 billion - and 30,000 tons per year of treated solid urban waste and 35,000 tonnes of industrial waste per year declared. An identity card built in the nineties between exemptions, appeals to the Administrative Court and the Council of State, to the pollution of today, whose plots have been summarized well by Maurizio Bolognetti, heard September 23, 2010 in the Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry on the cycle of waste and illegal activities related to it. The Secretary of the Radicals Lucan states that "despite the pollution ARPAB knew at least since January 2008, his Director Vincenzo Sealed, communicate to the highest health authority or the mayor of Melfi, and also by other agencies until March 2009 that there was a problem. " Bolognetti but goes further. "Since 2002 all'Arpab was entrusted with the task of monitoring the environmental media of that area, but in November 2009, during a hearing of the same director (Vincent Sealed, ed) at the Regional Commission on Environment and the territory, showed a particularly disturbing in some respects: there would be no monitoring of the 2002-2006 five-year period, or if there are not valid, because they were not validated. The suspicion arises that someone who is perhaps the pollution could still be initiated prior to January of 2008. " And in fact the Regional Agency for Environmental Protection knew, as confirmed by the press, in September 2009, from the manager Bruno Bove: "Since March 2008 we were aware of the alarming levels of mercury in the groundwater, but not for the our Board to raise the alarm. " Not only mercury. Nickel, chromium, Trichloroethylene, Tetrachloroethylene, fluorides, chlorinated aliphatic carcinogens. An alarming presence of highly harmful to health, with concentrations exceeding the recommended limits in support of the two ordinances of the town of Melfi enacted in 2009, still in force, with which it is absolutely "no use, for any purpose, groundwater pumping from wells inside the perimeter of the incineration plant site Phoenix as well as those downstream of the site. " A ban put on paper after the late-cost operator of self-reports at the time, a paltry fine of 34,000 €. A palliative, for EDF-Phoenix spa was not used in the resolution of the investigation contamination - due to a malfunction of one of the two furnaces for the incineration of hazardous waste, as shown in the tables about their observations of the matrix environmental water "They cover the heavy metals, updated at the end of September 2010 and disclosed in November. A concern is the nickel, 5 of 9 wells pumping, and trichlorethylene (trichlorethylene). On the judicial front, however, we learn of the transfer - from the hands of the prosecutor Melfi, Renato Arminio, the Power of Attorney - an investigation initiated in March 2009. A change of management expertise in the total reserve, which has not been disclosed nor the reasons for this decision, nor the names of alleged suspects.

permits expired
From reading the last ISPRA Waste Report we learn that the Comprehensive Environmental Authorization for the incinerator EDF-Phoenix spa has expired October 19, 2010 and that the relevant offices of the attempt to validate the Basilicata region, supporting Article 9 of Legislative Decree 59 of 2005, which requires a revaluation of the case established in the Hague "pollution caused by" and even stop the incineration of waste - as repeatedly requested by the Lucana Environmentalist (which calls for clarity on the allocation of 26,000 tonnes of toxic ash produced). The incinerator to burn waste, however, continues at full tilt, even under a recent Order of the President of the Regional Government, Vito De Filippo, who has ordered the transfer of 1,600 tonnes of waste as it is coming from the center of transference of Titus from 1 December 2010 to December 31, 2010. But there were also other abnormalities, one of which is contained in the waste management plan of the Province of Potenza. The figures do not add the amount of hazardous waste injected in the rotary kiln incinerator. The amount shown disposed in the Plan range from a minimum of 45,000 tonnes per year to a maximum of 65,000, compared with a maximum capacity of the rotary kiln of 35,000. If these values \u200b\u200bwould be backed up in front of an excess of authorized amounts, confirming the role of the incinerator EDF-Phoenix spa in the sky waste in Basilicata. Suffice it to say that in 2008 they were transferred to Melfi drums containing paints and solvents, buried illegally in the district of Fosso Lavandaio Pisticci leachate and landfill district Frontoni Santarcangelo. An operation to supply the latter, which cost 600 thousand euro, with funds from the Val d'Agri operational program, financed by oil royalties. And today could tap the waste from Campania, considering availability clearly evident in 2008, the Municipality of Melfi.

There continues to be ill
The increase of cancer in Basilicata ( question that Earth has treated 30 June 2010) logs data of concern, with curva dell’incidenza di tutti i tipi di patologie in ascesa, rispetto alla media nazionale e confrontati nei quinquenni di indagine 1997-2001 e 2002-2006. Nel Vulture la situazione non è migliore, con incrementi di tumori al colon (+18,5), al retto (+21,5), alla prostata (+84,2) per i maschi e alla mammella (+32,3), all’utero (+10,4) per le femmine, con un abbassamento dell’età media della popolazione colpita. I cittadini pretendono monitoraggi approfonditi e serie indagini epidemiologiche, mentre il vicesindaco di Lavello, Antonello Catarinella, chiede risarcimenti economici.

How To Improve Netflix Stream Quality On Xbox

Vitalba where waste becomes wealth

publish below the intervention of the director of the Newspaper of Basilicata, Paris Leporace. He describes the work done by the group Sear in the north of Basilicata, where the EDF Group also operates the Phoenix, whose Consortium Sear can be regarded as induced. "An asset - writes Leporace - illustrating that we can do business from the garbage." Too bad that we have not dug deep in the garbage as there are those derived from the business.
One could perhaps describe a deeper reality meno bucolica di quella che traspare e che un cronista più esperto d’ambiente avrebbe potuto certamente descrivere con aggettivi più incisivi di quelli usati nell’articolo. Peccato che in Basilicata la differenziata non sia mai decollata. Peccato davvero che questo business sia distante anni luce da una realtà che appare troppo patinata per essere vera. Di seguito l’articolo:
Era da tempo che non incontravo delle maestranze altamente motivate e soddisfatte del proprio lavoro, semplici operai e capireparto orgogliosi di un ciclo produttivo innovativo e utile alla loro vita ma anche alla collettività. La questione è nodale perché non avviene in un impianto manufattiero tradizionale ma in un grande stabilimento dove ogni singolo employee is responsible for treating and possibly reuse and recycle all the waste.
I had a chance for a whole morning to follow the group's assets located in the valley of Vitalba Sear. And 'one of the three plants that still operate in an industrial area preyed upon by vultures that have opened warehouses in the North to earn sunk added as a waste of the South to gain weight and finished the match of the master race Iva Valley. There was once built engines. The myth of the pistons from Formula One died almost immediately. Then local entrepreneurs, but in the DNA of one of them also generous and creative blood flowing Romagna, after some initial stuttering have found the right formula to do business with the garbage. No public funding and investments of their own pockets. The plant is a little gem of a new industrial architecture. The exterior is in the green light years away from the scenes from Blade Runner that we are accustomed to look around agl'inceneritori. Inside the offices are designed in a loft in the very page. In the belly of the plant air is not breathable as you expect. The loop passes through the hands of individuals who discard, check, check. The labor relations are good. In a table with a human managers and workers have lunch together while enjoying the fine cuisine prepared by a lady of the place. The owners think much about the social. They are the true vanguard that economy of green in this valley is made of bodies that live most of their time dealing with materials that do not go missing. Less scatter more you earn. The company also operates the compactor with automated optical device. Also good for those small alleys of the countries that use their service. Differentiation is a shared reality. Few municipalities. Who takes care of waste is perhaps good that runs from Sear to understand how to govern as a problem and becomes a resource. The future is changed from Atella. Ricordiamocelo.

Prato: Meeting with the categories (UDC)

Comparison with administrators and with the categories
Vestri Palace (Provincia di Prato) 13/12 / 2010.

cuts and management of the funds available with the centralization of re resources could add the weight of our territory.

An examination of the financial aspects of reality in its territorial Prato, highlighted doubts and misgivings svluppo in combining the need to curb an economic crisis and increasingly evident in the system Tuscan.

Beat the safety of the Left had become the bearer until recently, a charming Tuscan and well managed, there was a crisis with a delicate fasedelle choices. At the lowest flow of money from Rome, echoed the priorities set by the Government of Tuscany in the identification of sectors to be protected and those to be penalized. Leaving almost unchanged contributions for health care, which account for 80% of the budget of the region, which according to Rossi, of course, hear from sarebbee waste (possible?): A prize for those short until yesterday it was infallible councilor, now regional president.

It hits so hard the social other is cut from the region of € 400,000.00 - is reporting the 'Councillor Prato Mondanelli - but fortunately it is news today that the Government has allocated 600,000 , 00.

are reduced substantially the contributions for public transport with the consequent crisis of a system of public mobility - as reported in his detailed report, the Director of the CAP Alberto Banci - puts in crisis a joint company-Province-town, which had resulted in a doubling of the service users over the past 5 years. Forced a weakening of private companies, among other things, to reinvent itself because of Rossi's desire to create a single transport operator of Tuscany, the decision is perplexing even for the real risk that the service Prato (single contract for the regional ) could even cancel the local reality, excellence in the region today and CIOA favor of foreign corporations). The cooperative, said the Bank does not intend to give evidence and intends to pursue the project is the new home of the deposit with the highway and replacing the current system, the acquisition is part of LAZZI.

It suppresses Provincial Agency for Tourism, thus being less - said the President of Confcommercio Nardini - the minimum guarantee of disposable income to spend on the territory of Prato, with positive repercussions for the industry he represents, while creating all from a centralized regional redesigned.

all aspects - Secretary ICFTU says Bellandi - that open faces more crises in the labor market, potential disputes concerning the APT, the redundancy of the CAP, with emphasis on the need to reform the tax basis of a suitable Somer and to retrieve the reward Who produces and invests in the law.

The Prime Minister Maurizio Bettazzi has caretterizzato your greeting in the reporting of positions in ANCI and UPI,

The Mayor of Prato Work, pointed out that the regional policy , also in the management of calls in the area, taking both short-sighted policies are far from abstract evaluation of the concrete needs of the area and unable to counter the extraordinary events of the single reality: the criteria are often linked to the numbers of residents rather than related to the different needs of those. The result is a serious underestimation of regional Prato, the third town in central Italy after Rome and Florence, too often endorsed by the former local government Prato.

dibitatto time switch, introduced by Francis in the Province Parent Querci , especially in the wider issues related to provincial policies affected by financial (public transport, water and waste, ATP) was followed by a report John Bambury and an appeal from the regional secretary of the UDC, Lorenzo Zirri, addressed to the Mayor, that meadow becomes an example of good governance of the territory, or concrete example of the validity of alternation in government administrations premises. Enrico concluded Mencattini , UDC president.

In essence, today, after examining the choices of where to cut by the Governor, we have every LEVEL, municipal, provincial, but also by individual and groups of companies operating in the area, to raise attention to the management funds available to the region to avoid isolation. The crisis an opportunity for rebirth, but also a close comparison. Essential to the defense of Prato, Garaz of social and economic development of our territory.
