When also classic music is ecologic!


by Annalisa Audino

Who has told that the music is not ecological!?! The Festival MITO SettembreMusica (from 3 to 24 September 2010) confirms for the fourth edition its appointment in favor of the environment and communicates through one of the most exciting arts its message: all we can contribute to the respect and the improvement of the quality of life of our world.

The annulment of the issues produced by the Festival and the reduction of the environmental impact to the minimum is a concrete appointment in the energetic saving, in the appointment of the resources and the first subjects, in the reduction of the harmful issues and in the compensation of the produced CO2 thanks to the creation of new forests.

The organizers of the festival have asked for the appointment of all the partners, suppliers and musicians to sensitize the public and the institutions for a cleaner and respectful world. To compensate the issues of CO2 MitoSettembreMusica has sustained first of all the creation and guardianship of forests in growth in the Park Rio Vallone, in the Province of Milan, and in Madagascar, sticking to the project Impatto Zero of LifeGate. The two projects have a great scientific and social value: to contribute to the creation and guardianship of areas inside the Park Rio Vallone, to preserve a green lung in a territory strongly urbanized, and, in Madagascar, to maintain the ecological equilibrium typical of the place. Besides the international project foresees also the restructuring of the villages, of the road that brings in the city, of the electric net, the construction of a small dike that can bring water to the village, the digging out of wells to allow the cultivation of algae.

MITO SettembreMusica sustains also the reforestation of city green areas in Turin, through projects of reduction of the greenhouse emissions realized in developing countries: the issues of CO2 produced by the Turin edition of the Festival will be calculated with the support of Environment Park according to what anticipated from the norm ISO 14064-1, related to the declarations in subject of greenhouse effect, and certified by an independent third organism. For the calculated impact it will be predisposed in collaboration with Clean Planet, system developed by the group Asia, a project finalized to individualize opportune actions for the compensation of the emissions of CO2 residual lists in projects of Forestazione, projects CDM (Clean Development Mechanism) and Voluntary projects (Voluntary Emission Reductions.

MITO SettembreMusica is not the first initiative devoted to the environment through the music. Protagonists in the summer 2009 had already been the Street Academy with the project As it plays the chaos and Umbria Jazz with concerts of band that used recycled tools. In short it is time to change music, in all the senses, and to make some respect of the environment and the actions for it an essential foundation.
