“Concern skyrocketing” – Ibleo newspaper

Making Green Vittoria in its role as an environmental protection association, highlights alarmed, following many reports received from citizens exasperated by the fact that “every morning at dawn or in the evening at dusk, columns of thick, black smoke poisoning the air. It is the inevitable consequence – it is clarified in a document – of the thousands of tons of plastic discarded from greenhouses or unsorted municipal waste illegally burned. For several hours, the air becomes acrid and irritating and then, slowly, the column of toxic cloud expands until it dissolves.” “In this dark and thick smoke, which spreads and disperses in the air, there is an infinite quantity of dioxin particles, a compound of highly toxic molecules both for humans and for animals and for the environment which they are deposited on the soil polluting it – again Making Green – Can a territory described in this way, which produces every form of social disease, recover economically and socially? Can you invest in tourism? The trade unions and trade organisations, associations and the world of volunteering in this city have felt the need to react to the current state of things, to network and take on a responsibility which is not only to denounce, but also to stimulate the various institutions with proposed measures and interventions. There is no longer any point in feeling like an honest person if you are not capable of reacting to the many forms of illegality that are affecting this area. Fare Verde Vittoria strongly requests that all the competent authorities, in synergy, adopt measures even if they may prove unpopular and to the detriment of an economy which in some cases clearly does not respect any sustainability criteria. We are asked to agree on concrete technical tables with the presence of all interested parties and to identify active and passive subjects, proposing solutions to them. Those who are institutional delegates for such a delicate and primary task must make the protection of the environment and the quality of life of all citizens a priority, an essential right/duty”.
