10th report on the status of environment in Piedmont

by Roberto Cavallo

TORINO (July, 1st) - The meeting room of the Piedmont Region is overflowing, so that the organizers are forced to set up a second room connected to video.

The satisfaction of the environmental regional assessor Nicola De Ruggiero is obvious.
He is even more while, at the close of the morning session of presentation of the 4th Report 2009 and the 10th Report on the State of the Environment Piedmont ARPA, he tells the results of his department.The assessor, which occurs after 50 minutes of full report of the Arpa Piedmont Director Silvano Ravera, uses a charming Power Point presentation in which some photos accompany symbolic numbers in large characters that fill the screen.

Numbers that reveal how the measures undertaken by the region are effective:

Less fine

Less waste

More collection, which takes Piedmont on the podium of the regions of Italy.

Assessor De Ruggiero, drawing on his training and his medical profession claims that "The environment is sick, we know, but it is a patient who responds well to treatment that we adopted several years ago. There is no more time to be pessimistic, as was said during the World Day for the Environment last June 5th. It’s a serious and pragmatic message: at the point where we are the important thing is no longer cry about what we have lost, but how to build a relationship of virtuous coexistence with what it still remains. The time that we have before us should be used responsibly, on an individual, social and political institutions project. It is also the profile that we adopted in these years of government of the Region. And the results, achieved with difficulty, are noticeable".

Besides a great wealth of data communication, environment has played a central role, both in the day of presentation of the results, both to accompany the actions that the Region has organized in these years, so that the Assessor himself wanted to start the conference by projecting video in collaboration with environmental Cinemambiente.
