Ecology? A child of five years could be better educated than an adult, but thanks an Italian cartoon rather than Public Instruction: “2 friends for Earth”, co-produced by Rai Fiction and Union contact. The author is Marco Gisotti, journalist and environment communication expert: «I wrote this cartoon with all my passion - said the writer, author of a recent successful book titled “Guide to green Jobs” – but by now the production is at a standstill, despite RAI has appreciated it very much».
“2 friends for Earth” is addressed to 4-8 years old children and it’s aimed at promoting educational and training topics in a friendly way, supporting a sustainable and respectful way of life.
Pietro and Raimondo are two inseparable friends. Pietro is a 10 years old curious and muddler dreamer, fascinated by nature. Raimondo is the ecology-skilful man from the future, came to earth from 3000 A.D. to examine the old XXI century, which was lush and prosperous but caused the most environmental troubles.
The future-coming man explains the children, without any catastrophism, methods and solutions to preserve the Earth: using solar energy, recycle “4 R” rules, biodiversity conservation and resource saving.
This funny cartoon tries to raise a brand new awareness among young and adult people, in order to force them to get aware of the economic-social needed changes.
In 2008 RAI TRE broadcast thirteen episodes, than the project got stuck. «We wanted to perform 26 episodes, it’s a pity the series have not been financed yet, despite their success» said Mario Cavazzuti, Union Contact’s TV and Cinema Department Director.
Who missed the series can find it (in Italian) on the internet: www.rai.tv.
