July 17, 2009. This was my intervention on behalf of Legambiente, the General Statutes. If you want there is also a video recording C6 on TV. For the intervention of Maria Berrini (Environment Italy, as well as Legambiente) click here.
"Thanks to Mayor Letizia Moratti and the President Roberto Formigoni for giving us the opportunity of the Expo and on this occasion of the States General. Thank you for giving voice to a Milan and Lombardy, which is an already working on the Expo . For this "lesson" of listening, side by side, throughout yesterday and today. A double thanks because there was a great need, forgive my frankness, after a year of humiliating and unseemly spectacle. It will not be was all your fault, it was the fault of others, but it certainly was not our fault.
not ours, which, since August 2007, we believed in the possibility of a sostanibilità Expo, as it is written in the application form, which we have contributed in small part. And thanks to its sustainability has been appreciated in the BIE and for this reason Milan won. It was not easy to remember and explain it in the past year to our people.
Along this year we were not alone. At last June 7, 2008, at the height of the first Festival of the Environment, 30,000 were in "Running to the climate", with 50 other associations, to build sustainable long vollaggio Corso di Porta Venezia. Then in autumn, and the Foundation Assolombarda Cariplo were present with all the other environmental groups to submit proposals for sustainable development in Milan. Then again in March 2009, the Fair is the right thing, we were at the meeting to launch along with 70 other associations, the idea of \u200b\u200ba Fair and Expo participated. But we have said more, in as many letters of all the presidents of national associations and Lombard received on your desk: that of the themes of "feeding the planet's energy for life" we are always busy, and we will take care in future without the Expo. If we can do it with the Expo in Milan, the better.
Legambiente presented 4 proposals e 6 progetti. Ecco alcuni.
Al prossimo Festival dell'Ambiente che speriamo si svolga contemporaneamente a Puliamo il Mondo, vogliamo lanciare con tutte le altre associazioni ed ong di cooperazione l'Assemblea dei Popoli della terra che si tenga a Milano contemporaneamente all'Assemblea dell'Onu sulle sfide del millennio (il Millennium Development goals). A milano i popoli, a New York gli Stati, in un dialogo a distanza, possibile attraverso le nuove tecnologie dell'informazione.
E poi la partecipazione, perchè queste giornate non siano un'occasione isolata: si può in breve tempo attivare una consultazione vera. Non solo con plenarie e la partecipazione universale, ma anche con gruppi di lavoro, documenti tematici, obiettivi a termine. An example? Francis knew how to enable the government five months of national consultation on sustainable development involving the entire nation. In Milan and only for the Expo will be enough 3. Let's do it!
"Green Life" is the title of the exhibition that we carry in February-March 2010 Triennale, to collect the best of Italian and foreign experiences of building "zero carbon" and even districts with zero emissions. because this is the new challenge for cities within the next decade!
And then our "Kyoto" from below. Mayor Moratti has signed the Covenant in Brussels who are committed to unilaterally reduce its emissions by 20% in 2020? Well, it can not do without us citizens without families and businesses in Lombardy we put their face and their commitment. If Telecom has put in a computer network of individual emissions of CO2, we have created a network of Legambiente the site of the reduction commitments: www.stopthefever.org in revenue and you will discover that we already arrived at the national level to reduce to 3 million tonnes of CO2 emissions, about 6-7% of its Kyoto target for Italy. What can we do if the community of Milan and Lombardy are organizing to change things!
You know, the world is changing much faster than it has general perception: President Obama has promised to change the houses and cars than Americans. Milan Expo aims to try to change il nostro modo di nutrirci.
E se Gandhi ci sollecitava: "Sappiate rappresentare il cambiamento che volete", io chiudo con una citazione di Alex langer: "La conversione ecologica potrà affermarsi solo se apparirà socialmente desiderabile".
