The bioplastic developed by Novamont is the real answer to the question of consumer products with low environmental impact. It comes from renewable agricultural resources, reduces emissions of greenhouse gases, reduces energy consumption and non-renewable resources and complete a virtuous circle: the raw materials of agricultural origin are returned to the earth through processes of biodegradation and composting, without the release of pollutants.

for Pellegrini The H2O Project


With pleasure publish the press presentation of ACLIAMBIENTE http://www.acliambiente.it/ on the initiative "Pellegrini for H2O".

Pellegrini for H2O (water)
The Lord your God gives you the rain in the right size for you sends down water (cf. Joel 2:23)
The Italian Church celebrates the Day for the Protection of Creation September 1, to testify to the importance it attaches to the gift of creation and to remind Christians and all men the task that God has entrusted to humanity: to guard and cultivate the land as a garden (Gen 2.15). The day will also arise as a response to the appeals of Pope Benedict XVI. In the Sermon on the eve of Pentecost 2006, he called for Spirit to get involved in the "responsibility to God for His world and for humanity." In their joint statement with Patriarch Bartholomew of 30 November 2006 stressed the great importance attached by the two Churches' efforts to protect God's creation and to bequeath to future generations a world in which they can live "(n. 6). In his message for World Day for Peace 2007, he placed emphasis on "the connections between natural ecology, or respect for nature, and human ecology ", including" peace with creation and peace among men "(No. 8); peace, as" the ability to live side by side with justice to other tissue relationships of justice and solidarity ", which is realized in an "orderly and harmonious world," God's creation (3).
These references highlight the variety of reasons on which it relies and environmental issues that emerge clearly in his report to the chosen theme for this Day of 2007: the water, which is important, even decisive, for the life of our "blue planet" . In 2006 to prepare for the first day for the protection of creation, the National Bureau for social problems and work in collaboration with the ACLI and the Coldiretti had promoted a 40-day pilgrimage on foot from Montgenevre to Rome along the Via Francigena entitled "Pilgrims to the sun." The experience of last year, the first of its kind, took us to wonderful places in contact with thousands of people crossed the path. We brought the issue into the streets of clean energy, energy conservation attention to what surrounds us. Were set up booths, distribute literature and small gadgets. The pilgrimage itself is flanked by an information campaign that has found counterparts intrigued by our passage. We could see that people are not indifferent to environmental issues, where this provides opportunities for training / information people respond to stimuli, ask questions, seek answers. Building on the experience of last year we return to tread the paths Italians to bring a message of environmental awareness. Change the title to "H2O for the pilgrims, the journey from Tuscany to the Marches, but remains the pilgrimage on foot as a means of communication of our message. Engraved in the history of Christian practice, which allows you to reflect, learn and build upon what is left behind and instead to design the steps that have yet to come. Departing from the normal daily activities to immerse ourselves forced in other rhythms, other requirements, in new and rewarding relationships. In addition to the national department for social and labor problems, the ACLI and Coldiretti, this year's event will be promoted by the service for the youth ministry, from 'AC, dall'Agesci and other associations of which we are waiting for 'lip. We want to emphasize that for many in the environmental theme cuts across and touches everyone. While respecting the different gifts of each individual, we can safely act on environmental issues so Interassociation. We'll start with a hundred young leaders, from August 18 Sant'Antimo, cross the Umbria-Marche Apennines touching Perugia, Assisi and Macerata, come to Loreto on September 1. Here we will join the thousands of young people present to the 'Agora of young Italians. " One hundred children who will be called "Pilgrims to the Water", in honor of the theme chosen for the second day of the Integrity of Creation, in this 2007. The starting blocks for this long run two weeks will be fixed - as mentioned - the ancient Abbey of Saint Antimo. On these ancient stones, where monks still practice the Gregorian chants, will be held the first training day for pilgrims, entitled "Water good of all." After a few miles of running, arrived on the shores of Lake Trasimeno, the boys will be encouraged to reflect on the theme that unites and divides water "while in Assisi talk of 'water as a source of salvation." The occasion will end with a speech given at Camerino on the 'ecological footprint'. Pilgrims to the water will reach the goal of Loreto, ready to be leaders of the fountain of light on the environment among others, light up the night of September 1. A goal that can not be anything other than a new departure to Sydney, to the International Day for the youth but also to a daily walk more 'alert, aware and respectful of our environment.
