Sanremo. They let you know from Democratic party: “A few days ago, on May 19th, Overshoot Day fell in our country, i.e. the day in which the consumption of natural resources equalized the availability of the same made available throughout the Italian territory. This means that in less than five months we have consumed all the resources that should have been enough for an entire year. A disastrous situation that must make us reflect and make the environmental issue a priority at all levels, both in the actions of the national government and in the regional and municipal ones”.
The press note continues: “The environmental issue sometimes appears difficult to resolve, but as the Democratic Party we want to formulate a series of concrete proposals that will be part of our city government: implement and improve public transport and promote alternative forms of transport: from “pedibus” projects for children of primary school, to forms of shared transport, to the rental of bicycles and scooters via apps, to promote sustainable and organic agriculture, which does not pollute the environment and produces healthy food without residues of phytosanitary products; favor forms of trade that are based on local supply chains and on “Km0”, expanding the spaces for city events to promote the “short supply chain” (think of the Christmas markets, the stalls on Corso Imperatrice, the fruit and vegetable market in Piazza Eroi) and in school and company canteens (ASL1 for example) incentives and benefits for local businesses that sell local products, in particular organic agricultural products; incentives and benefits for citizens and businesses that favor the installation of solar panels and the use of technologies that exploit renewable resources to produce energy; raising citizens’ awareness of responsible and conscious forms of consumption, through appropriate training and information actions. The Sanremo Democratic Party intends to place emphasis on the environmental issue and the exploitation of resources, with the awareness that only by acting promptly can we reduce our ecological footprint and guarantee a sustainable future for ours and future generations”.
