In 15 years built three million hectares, the equivalent of Lazio and Abruzzo combined. And with the housing plan, the process has been accelerated. Appeals to stop the destruction of the landscape, before it's too late Since the models on TV to tell the most heinous crimes seem to have become indispensable, I would then propose a very interesting: reproduction scale in Italy, a huge crime scene. The weapons are the cement warehouses, shopping centers, real estate speculation and many plants to produce energy, renewable and non motives are greed and stupidity, all the murderers who have responsibility for saying yes, the accomplices who do not say no; victims finally the people of our country, especially those of tomorrow.
reliable data on which I rely are few, not always consistent because of different measurement methods, but all speak to us in a uniquely impressive consumption of Italian territory. We are always a compromise for the common good, because anche la proprietà privata del terreno non dà automaticamente diritto di poterlo distruggere e sottrarlo così alle generazioni future. Circa due anni fa su queste pagine riportavamo che l'equivalente della superficie di Lazio e Abruzzo messi insieme, più di 3 milioni di ettari liberi da costruzioni e infrastrutture, era sparita in soli 15 anni, dal 1990 al 2005. Dal 1950 abbiamo perso il 40% della superficie libera, con picchi regionali che ci parlano, secondo i dati del Centro di Ricerca sul Consumo di Suolo, di una Liguria ridotta della metà, di una Lombardia che ha visto ogni giorno, dal 1999 al 2007, costruire un'area equivalente sei volte a Piazza Duomo a Milano. E non finisce qui: in Emilia Romagna 1976 to 2003 every day he consumed a quantity of soil to twelve times the Piazza Maggiore in Bologna, in Friuli Venezia Giulia from 1980 to 2000 units of three squares a day in Trieste, Italy. And most of these lands were used for agriculture. To return to the data overall, from 1990 to 2005 have exceeded two million hectares of agricultural land dead or covered in concrete.
As you can see, the available figures do not take into account the recent years, but suffice it to travel a little 'to Italy and take note of the initiatives of this government (the House floor, for example) and local governments to realize this: it seems that there is no territory, municipality, province or region that is grappling with a wild and uncontrolled occupation of the free. Unfortunately, although the landscape is a constitutional right (the only case in Europe) guaranteed by Article 9, the legislation is largely entrusted to the Regions and local authorities, with the result that will create great confusion, endless debates and large margin of action for the speculators. For example, the recent regional law approved in Tuscany, which prohibits the installation of photovoltaic systems on the ground seems valid, but it is already challenged by some political forces. In Piedmont, was instead passed a similar law, but less effective, raising serious concerns the Movement to Stop use of land. " In fact, in spite of the national guidelines for photovoltaic systems - those eat-agriculture - they keep popping up like mushrooms in the same way and ShopVille malls, residential areas in the country, new suburbs, which has an illegal South devastated entire areas of our thanks to amnesties wicked building.
There are blatant examples: The Veneto, which since 1950 has increased its urbanized area by 324% while its population grew during the same period only 32%, has not learned anything from 'flood that hit at the end November. A couple of weeks later, while still did a count of the damage, the Regional Council approved a sneaky that allow you to extend the buildings on agricultural land up to 800 cubic meters, the equivalent of three flats of 90 square meters.
Looking around, we feel under siege: the concrete moves, the land is tempting potentates building, which although they are increasingly important subject of journalistic investigations, and in some cases, courts do not give up 's bone and seem to pass free of any obstacle, an indifference that we no longer know whether it is innocent, uninformed or simply the result of hopeless impotence. Moreover, costruire fa crescere il Pil, ma a che prezzo. Fa davvero male: l'Italia è piena di ferite violente e i cittadini finiscono con il diventare complici se non s'impegnano nel dire no quotidianamente, nel piccolo, a livello locale. Questa è una battaglia di tutti, nessuno escluso.
Ora si sono aggiunte le multinazionali che producono impianti per energia rinnovabile, insieme a imprenditori che non hanno mai avuto a cuore l'ambiente e, fiutato il profitto, si sono messi dall'oggi al domani a impiantare fotovoltaico su terra fertile, ovunque capita: sono riusciti a trasformare la speranza, il sogno di un'energia pulita anche da noi nell'ennesimo modo di lucrare a Wretched of the Earth. Also of PV on agricultural soils have already written on these pages, taking as inspiration the delicate situation in Puglia. The photovoltaic panels on the floor completely dry up the soil in a short time, causing the soil sealing, that is, the sealing of land, and is profoundly stupid devote vast expanses of arable land in the name of lavish incentives, when you could install on warehouses, industrial areas abandoned or in use, abandoned quarries, along the highways. Germany, which is really light years ahead of the rest of Europe on renewables, for example, does not give incentives to those who put solar panels on the ground, always. Wild wind energy, oversized, often in the odor of mafia and wasteful if you're average readers of newspapers and audiences of the faithful Report on Rai Tre already know: not a week goes by that we speak up for some testing, primarily local, because some committee of citizens arises. Simply comb through the internet site of the movement "Stop the use of land", among the most active, and immediately leaps out the list of local communities who are rebelling in every region, for the most varied reasons.
Mind you, this is not an article against the solar or wind power: it is against their wicked and speculative use. The usual way to ruin things, typically Italian. Also because the target of 20% renewable energy by 2020 can be achieved very well without doing harm, and we are to reach and possibly exceed it. This is intended as a cry of pain against the use of land and agricultural land in all its forms, the largest environmental and cultural catastrophe which Italy has watched, helpless, in recent decades. Because if the agricultural land is disappearing disaster food, hydrogeological, environmental, landscape. It 's like to borrow life and their children and grandchildren into debt to buy a bigger TV: no more stupid.
The problem then dovetails perfectly with the general crisis in agriculture is going through a bit 'of years, given that all sectors are suffering. Are recent Eurostat data that give further confirmation of the trend: "The per capita income of farmers in 2010 decreased by 3.3% and about 17% lower than five years ago." So it's easier to convince disaffected farmers to surrender, and their land, to speculation or related to renewable energies. Remember that agriculture is not defending defending a good (or rude) ancient world, but we defend our country, our ability to make local communities, a future it can still hope to cover real well-being and such beauty.
This is the time to say enough, so Let us realize that we have reached a point of no return: I would like to propose, and hope to be enacted, a national moratorium against the use of land free . Not a total block of the building, which may well move towards empty or abandoned buildings, the renovation of buildings left to themselves or the demolition of dilapidated to make room for new ones. Need something strong, a collection of signatures, a firm statement that more arrests for the disappearance of farmland in our country, ugly buildings and unnecessary, shopping centers that diminish as men and women, reducing them to-consumer robots, and only abbruttiti.
A moratorium then, if you come out of the tremendous current political situation, they should jointly make official the Ministry of Agriculture, the Environment and also that of Cultural Heritage, because our territory is the first cultural heritage of this nation that is about to turn 150 years old. I'm sure the many organizations working in this direction, as my Slow Food, or for example the aforementioned network of Stop the use of land, the Italian Environmental Fund, environmental groups, those categories of farmers and the myriad of civic committees over the place will all agree and are willing to join forces. It's time to make a joint campaign, to preside over the territory in a capillary at the local level, to amplify the cry of millions of Italians who are tired of having to destroy landscapes and places of the heart, another form of harassment, including the many who suffer, even on what is free and has no price: beauty. Why look around: there is everywhere, especially in the little things that are before our eyes. It is a form of poetry available anywhere, that we should not remove, devotion and respect it deserves, that saves us the soul, every day.
