No title is more appropriate than "consumerism" Danger

It 's been a long time since my last post. Some days I log onto my blog and I think it covered with dust. Other days I would buy a more decent space better organized because I believe we write our own ideas and that they really worth. Today I want to shake the dust off with this post.
The other day I heard on TV (Figures in Light, RAI3 course) of GAS . Nothing to do with natural gas, stands for fair trade groups: groups of citizens are coming together to buy wholesale products and do so bearing in mind the concept of solidarity as a selection criterion. It seemed like a smart idea (certainly not new, perhaps they're all already aware). I was interesting that is aimed mainly at the local market: wholesalers, in fact, are chosen based on several criteria including proximity, the guy on TV talking about up to 10 km away. Finally someone does go on television the concept of a market more localized to the facciazza TAV, which should move the goods do not know who throughout the euro-Asian continent, in the face of the big supermarkets that have deluded that it was cheaper to shoot himself 50 km to shop, the face of all those who want to but the TAV complain about the Chinese market. The Chinese could be the future of Bulgaria and Romania join, watch the journey of TAV (pp. 24 and 25) and wondering where to go but more importantly, from where the goods will reach the TAV.
time ago I spoke with a friend who is too left, but I was amazed by his ideas pro-TAV. It 's true, the market has assumed global dimensions, it should be recognized and certainly not every cloud has a silver lining. But balance that serves to move goods around the world does not make sense if:
  • goods can be produced locally;
  • local products have a higher quality;
  • in countries of origin there are protections and union rights are not respected at work ;
  • in their home countries workers are not adequately rewarded;
  • the very action of moving goods adds value to the product that is downloaded to the purchaser;
  • freight wagons make the trip completely.
The overall size of the market is not a necessity, is un'optional: you must be careful not to transform the world market in a global waste (Remember, the resources are finite ). It 'going to be spending too much even in large supermarkets, where it is necessary to shoot himself hour by car and one hour cash to buy what the dealer sells me the house. More: it is even more absurd to buy what we can do at home with little effort and excellent results. And added to the objective of this post, I offer the experience of my family, real, spendable, repeatable by anyone of you with little money, which can effectively reduce costs and waste .
  1. water: more than a year now no longer buy bottled water, drink than tap water. To years I believed that it was not good, but stupid, water is normal, now Nos feel the difference with that of the bottle. Where's the savings: the tap water is cheaper, you save about 90 € a year. I know it does not seem much but consider that: plastic waste has been reduced to a minimum (bottled water, also crushed occupies its space hog) and no one needs to do more unnecessary flights of stairs to get home in 15 liters of water the aqueduct would get anyway.
  2. yogurt: yogurt eaters if you're like me and do not look for exotic tastes, then a special yoghurt maker is right for you. Yogurt is produced within a day by adding milk another yogurt (every once in a jar again be bought in store) or lactic acid (can be bought in pharmacies). The end result is delicious: bitter, of course, white, of course, but it can be "decorated" with coffee, chocolate and syrups. E 'creamy just like the supermarket. There is an initial cost due to the purchase of a yogurt (less than 15 €) if you really want to make cool, then it's all profit. Also here: shopping bag emptier, less plastic waste, household product, I know what I ate. Intelligiente consumption, I'm not wasting time. I do not remember how long we use it, maybe a few years ... raga well as breakfast is not missing never in the morning.
  3. bread: the bread can be produced at home with amazing results. We bought a machine that kneads, raises and then bake in a automatic mechanism. The machine can be programmed to obtain the finished product per hour you want. Once you learn the procedure can produce different varieties of bread (with potatoes, milk, chocolate ...). We estimate the savings. Again, there is an initial outlay for the purchase of the machine (50 € approximately) now is found in many shops. The cosume my family's bread is about 750 grams per day (we are 3 and 4 for lunch and dinner). Suppose that the baker spends € 2.5. Considering the normal cost of the meal (which you can buy in large quantities), the flour, yeast, water and electricity that we have calculated, using the bread machine, the cost for 750 grams is less than 0.5 €. If you consume 750 grams of bread a day, every day, the machine you repaid in the first month, then everything is earned. Benefits to partly economic: the bread you can prepare when you want, even on Sundays, you will not be forced to freeze it and you will not waste because you can produce exactly the amount you consume. In addition, the homemade bread stays soft even after 2 or 3 days. When it is dry then just reheat in the toaster to make some great pieces to be coated with butter and jam. The quality is much higher than the bread oven. Disadvantages: increase your consumption of bread and the baker :-) no longer see.
  4. dumplings (savory pie for the friends of Parma, cake for all others): here a delicate touch of a button, I'm going literally insane. Lately, my mother began to do so with the same bread recipe and onion over ... Lunch 750 grams of dumpling disappear in 3. Procedure: You can use the bread machine to make the dough, then just spread it in a teapot and let it rise. I advise you to cook the Petronilla. I know it is an object of the past, but I assure you that it deserves. If you turn to the markets there is still someone who sells it.
Now, for a true cheese missing only erbazzone and Lambrusco, and then with this stuff (and cured) could be in place forever. The things that I listed can be obtained easily and without loss of time, indeed, time will you earn xche there is less stuff to buy at the supermarket. I heard that you can also produce toothpaste, inform me. We have the knowledge and technology, sfruttiamole to improve our lives, not arrendiamoci consumerism and do not expect the politicians to provide solutions. If incentives for the local market (if not the home) will give even more meaning to the boycott.

Sample Letter For Disconnecting Internet Service

red

After Berlusconi's speech to say the least disturbing to the U.S. Congress, where the Premier of Wonderland was able to show off his language skills improved and harping, and all his courage in doing so, this morning on the radio I heard an amazing new news: Bush sounds the alarm for all Americans who are in Italy at this time against terrorist attacks by Al Qaeda and the violence may result from the demonstrations. The front pages of national newspapers' s "U.S. early warning" on any other news stands and the mental association "extreme-left terrorism" is inevitable: the message you want to send is that its "red squads" are just as dangerous as the Islamic terrorists.
Several factors are shocking: in the first place the classification of Italy as a dangerous country, where American citizens should take precautions as if they were on vacation in Afghanistan, and secondly the negative image which is given to events (strange case of the left) must necessarily lead to violence, then the intervention itself, which is totally out of place and I think offensive and disgusting, considering that is made by a President of a country of fake democracy like ours.
I feel personally outraged because in such an attack is the Italian people to pass through dangerous, unstable and violent.
And then you hear that from the pulpit .... courage with which Bush is meddling in Italian affairs? It is quite busy with all the wars that sfagiola in the world?
does not care anything about sending soldiers to die in Iraq and other parts of the world, and goes right to interest for the safety of the tourists who are in Italy during an election year? But please!
But you want to see that the two Big Brothers have agreed to found this election? Or rather, that Bush had so much compassion for Berlusconi to accept his demands for help in this campaign that is really showing its worst?
now the rot continues to raffiorare every day, because the technique of center-right is to lie shamelessly launching attacks, insults, and creating alarmism out of any credibility and then blame the very center-left to found his own policy upon lies, attacks, gratuitous insults and alarms.
really can not believe that we can have such a low opinion of the Italian people. According to them, we Italians do not realize it? In all his tactical interventions Berlusconi's falseness and vulgarity are clearly perceptible.
Television can be manipulated by controlling the quantity and quality of programs, with power and money you can buy all the space you want to give you visibility, but if what you say is hypocritical and vile, sooner or later people will notice and will not stand with folded hands, in fact, used as the Reality Shows hastened to remove from the household.

Italian Song Festival

I state that I have heard a few songs from this festival also because I actually prefer a different kind of music.
The thing that worries me, however, and would like to draw the attention is the position of artists (singers and performers and songwriters, as singer-songwriters are a race now extinct ..) about our social situation nationally and internationally.
I do not know if it applies also to the Sanremo "parcondicio" as a part of the Nomads (probably people from other times ...) in a total of more than 30 songs there is not one that reflects our situation and our problems socal .
inquires on "parcondicio" tonight as a "Che tempo che fa" Fazio said in its submission to the April 9 will not talk about events or situations ever Italian (to which I said: - Although the weather is not the Italian ones ? -).
However, not that it is contrary to the treatment of the theme of love in the songs, but what I think should characterize a work of art and engage an artist must be an analysis of his time (historical and social analysis), otherwise what is the role may hold and what is its usefulness?
Art must be a photo of the age in which we live, represent situations and problems that characterize certain ideological debates, in relation to knowledge basic cultural high (which it is hoped that at least the artists being keepers of the culture of the time) ... Perhaps it Nomads
really are artists of the past, as they are the only ones who have made a song about the war, while others (modern artists) are songs about love (which is almost equal to the world began) and other issues represent the intellectual emptiness of our singers and our society.
I have a reading even more about love and its extremist sphere of irrationality and blurred in the use of reason that one can do in our time.
do not know how you think, but these stories of passion, desires irrationality and if the conditions of daily life with intrigue and find everything you need to do soap operas or reality show live with divorce, etc. ...
No wonder then if "Big Brother" in its first edition won the award for best cultural program of the year!
The situation I describe is catastrophic as usual but I think it is better to also consider the most extreme position to be ready to face the worst and devise countermeasures.
The emptiness of the mind and the crisis of ideas I just did a post on vitamancina: http://vitamancina.blogspot.com/2006/03/la-crisi-dellideologia.html
I hope that there are still artists able to use a good cultural background to express our time by following a scientific method, rational and intuitive and I am sure that these artists do not go down for sure to go to these types of initiatives so popular festivals that serve only to people rimbecillire , I said this is easier to understand why sugar is not even gone to the Festival to take un'onoreficenza Horse of the Republic (Grande Sugar !!!).
In conclusion I would like to reiterate the importance of the content of works of art: Art is not nice to say so, but art is important to communicate meanings so beautiful!
Many are capable of doing good things, but few are artists ... In support of
My complaint of severe lack of content put a link to the website where you can delight in reading the lyrics:

Cavriago A (RE) climbed into the chair Energy

's dedicated to energy saving and renewable energy the first appointment of the exhibition "science culture and environment", Environment and Sustainable Development organized by the Municipality of Cavriago. The meeting was held last Thursday, addressed to Prof. Paul Erman, President of the EAAP (Alternative Projects for Energy and Environment).
The theme that we wanted to address is the most discussed worldwide, as well as more difficult to solve in the short to medium term. The question can be summed up in one concept, born of no more than a decade ago, which is that of ecological footprint. The ecological footprint of a system is the per capita area of \u200b\u200bproductive land that can be exploited in a sustainable manner, ie without its progressive collapse. In the Earth's ecological footprint was estimated to be on average about 1.8 hectares per capita. An Italian leverages local resources to approximately 3.8 hectares, ie about twice faster than the natural rhythms would impose. For countries like the United States is about 9.4 hectares per capita, while for India of 0.5 hectares, a figure in rapid and constant growth. On balance, the hunger for resources the world far exceeds the ability to regenerate, and these trends show a rapid deterioration of this relationship.
The situation becomes even more serious if we highlight the now demonstrated that there is close correlation between the consumption of energy from fossil fuels and climate change taking place in the atmosphere. This without considering the problems and tensions of economic and geopolitical these sources generate. What
then the possible answers? According Ermani pass all the answers to a common point, which is that of reducing energy consumption by reducing waste and increasing efficiency in the processes of use.
The technique has developed several solutions that can exploit renewables for power generation. They range from the photovoltaic solar energy, through wind and hydropower. There are even showers and ovens and solar-powered irrigation systems.
The energy that these technologies can provide, in addition to not be sufficient to satisfy the hunger that the world currently has, not even remotely compete with what can be achieved by saving technologies. The "negawattora" is the energy source on which, immediately, we need to focus.
on this front, the points of action are different. First of all you need to intervene on behaviors that we all assume to use the energy. There is also a building "intelligent" able to reduce by 50% and over consumption of heating and cooling of housing than the average home. There are so-called micro-distributed systems, capable of supplying power and heat yields 2.5 times higher than those of normal power. Appliances that are on the market, with the same performance, reduce fuel consumption by up to three times compared to standard or traditional.
It is basically to make choices. Choices that may or may not have an immediate economic return, which may require a change in our habits, but that does not coincide with a deterioration in the quality of life. On the contrary, seek to preserve it.
