Frot Wayne Big Green Egg

Our daily News

“Salvare il nostro paesaggio è un dovere civile”, ha detto Salvatore Settis in una lunga intervista pubblicata ieri da La Repubblica, in occasione dell'uscita del His new book, "Landscape, the Constitution, Cement. The battle against environmental degradation, civil "(Einaudi, pp. 326, € 19). To protect the landscape by the constant, vicious, attacks building in the margins of the article provided a set of guidelines, helpful to all those individuals or groups, who continue to fight against the havoc, often with incredible efforts in the face of an enormous difference in techno-economic means. A set of guidelines that I have to write it lacks a point 0, which is essential: "Living in the countryside is a right and duty", from the landscapes that surround our homes and our streets, but also our malls and our warehouses , the diffuse edge what is now Italy. Living in the deeper meanings and daily, live with pleasure. What should give walking and cycling, swimming and rowing, practice and play everyday work. Only a stubborn attendance will allow us to break the only harmful, even criminal, consumerist imperative, capable of transforming the land into a commodity that "is not because we live it, but only because it can be employment, prices, cannibalized." Without material experience and habitual, I believe that any appeal to the protection, as agreeable and disturbing, is likely to remain unheard. Without a widespread re-appropriation of the natural landscape, inteso come bene comune da condividere nei piaceri del vissuto quotidiano, non ci sarà alcun riscatto da questo degrado ambientale che è diventato “parte di un degrado che investe le regole del vivere comune”. Perciò, anche da insegnante , prendendo spunto dal terzo paradosso evidenziato da Salvatore Settis, mi sento di puntualizzare che prima ancora di portare la parola paesaggio dentro le scuole, dobbiamo portare la scuola, gli alunni, nel paesaggio. Non in quelli esotici che le agenzie vendono alle famiglie e forse neanche in quelli incontaminati protetti dai parchi e meta privilegiata delle gite scolastiche. Dobbiamo innanzitutto portarli a piedi e in bici o, perché no, a remi e a vela, nei paesaggi del quotidiano. I nostri figli, Italians and, more generally, to become aware of the inestimable value of the landscape rather than images of miles they need, rather than read and listen to their need for walking and cycling. Declining
Salvatore Settis considerations specific to this project, without any need to take note of nostalgia that has blown balance-coast city. If the battle for the defense of those tiny fragments of natural coastline, should be supported with determination, we must devote no less commitment to the restoration, a restoration of all non-conservative than anything else is hopelessly lost, but an environmental restoration that returns the unchanged immensity the sea-shore to our urban living spesso come inospitale residenza.
