European Week for Waste Reduction

Roberto Cavallo

The summer is over. Both the calendar and the weather conditions remind it to us. As I write in my "Less than 100 kilos" when you are on vacation, the relationship with the bin becomes more difficult and this seems to grow fatter and fatter at glance. So, now that we're back to everyday life, we can go back and pay attention to the waste we produce. In a period of continuous increases of any kind, exercises of waste reduction are certainly welcomed to our pocket. So drinking the tap water saves us a few hundred dollars a year, using washable diapers almost a thousand, doing home composting, if the municipality in which we live provide for it means also a waste tax reduction. These are some small every-day actions that we can begin to assess in view of the fourth edition of the European Week for Waste Reduction, which will take place next November, from 17th to 25th. But the entries are already open! Just surf the website www.menorifiuti.org or the websites of various partners of the organizing committee (www.assaica.org, www.federambiente.it). The registration procedure is very simple: just describe the action that will be put in place and send an e-mail to the Secretariat. This year there is also the chance to be rewarded for the action, when particularly interesting or innovative or virtuos, with a special Italian award. Join and spread the voice: there is need for lightness ... and then it is 3 years that Italy reach the second place behind France concerning the number of actions taken during the week, we try to win this year!
