In reflecting on my recent post news the news that occasionally appear in the inside pages of newspapers or in sidebars on plastic tidal waves that flow on Italian beaches. If agencies talk about it They must be truly enormous amount, given that a large amount of plastic waste, which we are completely addicted, already normally on our beaches and floating in our seas without making headlines. These articles in the local news that titles like this (from Corriere della Sera ):
On the Tyrrhenian coast of Latium plastic bags and even the remains of a buffalo. Mayor: discover where they come from the satellite
The mystery of the polluted sea in Sabaudia
If you really must be spoken, you have to present the phenomenon come un mistero sul quale si indaga , addirittura con il satellite . Le autorità sono al lavoro, i sindaci sporgono denuncia contro ignoti , richiedono al ministero dell'ambiente l'intervento di navi spazzarifiuti . In questo caso i sospetti cadevano (ma poi?) su un' azienda di allevamento di bufale (per i rifiuti organici, ma la plastica che c'entra con le bufale?). Nel 1998, in occasione di un episodio simile, prosegue l'articolo, si attribuì l'anomala presenza di rifiuti nei mari e sulle spiagge al passaggio di traghetti veloci sulla rotta Olbia-Anzio .
worry, there is always a single culprit, everything can continue as before, in case of emergency our powerful means will save us. But above all these cases are limited, our seas are clean!
Well, was presented yesterday to the Senate a report on "The impact of plastic bags on the marine environment" ( here and here ). The study was carried out by ARPA Tuscany and the structure of oceanographic Daphne Arpa Emilia Romagna, at the request of Legambiente. Analyzes the amount and type of anthropogenic waste in the Mediterranean, and the consequences on the marine environment, particularly on wildlife. presents a very worrying picture of plastic pollution in the Mediterranean . Italy is doubly exposed to the problem, due to its geographical position as the first European country to the consumption of disposable plastic bags.
The problem of pollution by plastic covers all the seas, including the Mediterranean . And it is an extremely serious problem that must be tackled. As Charles Moore points out in his talk at TED ( here), it is impossible to clean up the seas : we stop using plastic in the way we did in the past fifty years.
