A centinaia le adesioni e il numero è destinato a crescere nelle ultime ore.
"....Finora ci hanno, e ci siamo imposti, di continuare a subire questo modello di sviluppo economico vetusto e in fase terminale. Siamo un po’ carnefici di noi stessi e un po’ servi volontari. E nessuno è realmente innocente. Preferiamo la certezza presente di un inferno possibile all’incertezza futura di un paradiso lost. Taranto is a bit 'the Platonic myth of the cave. Only now that many of us have seen the light of day outside and we can not live in quest'oscurantismo.
"Well, it looks perfect - I said, I was invited to talk about my book, so of course I will speak of the decline of the bet. So I'm going to spread some small seed of knowledge and hope that the ground is fertile. "
Yes, great! But you see, sir, talk about the challenge of peaceful decline in a city that for years lived a (fake) growth unhappy is a real political challenge. And so you have to apply directly to political actors. Because we, the audience of citizens and associations, we want to decrease the time, and how! But for now we can only dream of. Or scream.
Fortunately, be aware that local associations are fantastic, high tides irrepressible. Warriors who fight as fair; scholars which provide alternatives to an economy castrating, request that it be the people to decide their future, requiring a cancer registry; develop private analysis to check the status of water contamination, land , animals. Even mother's milk. "We recognize? And she writes in her book that the wealth of a man starts from the womb and ends with the hand of the nurse who cares for us ... So we are very poor, dear professor. "
The worst thing is that even the law can be applied. We pack and even more powers, rather than helping to safeguard the fundamental rights we are condemned to a slow death, silent. Nothing and no one policy that you courage and desire to protect ourselves until the end.
So we just have to keep fighting. Only with the struggle, civil disobedience and complaints will be obtained important results. For example, you do not lose their rights to compensation for environmental damage or harm to health. Or that you perform an epidemiological investigation to verify the health status of Taranto, as requested recently the Greens.
E 'fundamental that finding, it all starts from here: the recognition of damage and its compensation, it tells you in his essay. Compensation that would do well also to the coffers of the city, which is said to be in bankruptcy. "Ah, I did not know!" Is surprised "Bankruptcy, pollution, steel, refinery, incineration, then you have it all!", "Yes we do not miss anything worse." Claims, deeply ashamed.
"You - continuous-says that the principle of a right turn would begin to charge, simply, the cost of the environmental impact." "True, he says-is-me the program with which I presented to the French presidency. But you know, we are confident that all politicians with such a provocative program know they can not be bound unless he killed the next day. And nobody wants to be a martyr. "
Yes, but even though we want to be forever, and it is not right to pay the consequences are always and only the polluted, and never polluters. We must have the courage to convince everyone that it is necessary to free ourselves from the great blackmail fist economic benefits they receive is not worth the cost crazy that we support in terms of loss of nature, culture and health and non-profit social and environmental.
why then, sir, if you will, she has to go to Taranto as a gardener to plant a lot of patience. Because here the soil is very fertile. Taranto is a perfect laboratory for the post-development, and from here you can try to test the application of his model of the 8 R: reevaluate, redefine, restructure, relocate, redistribute, reduce, reuse, recycle. Here, I want to coin a new R Taranto: Renaissance. We want to be reborn.
And change, as you say, for this will be radical, because any compromise will be once again compromised. Because until you exit this system of negative values \u200b\u200bthat destroys us there is no room for the realization economies of decline. Because if we do not start by respecting the sacred dogma of the "polluter pays" principle, the ecological thought not flourish ever, at any level.
Latouche is a loving person, helpful and charming, I can not help but allow me to play with him and dare. I promise you, in my visionary idealism, the day that will live Taranto its decline, we will give honorary citizenship. For that time, then, the beautiful home of the University of the old city will be open, and then also awarded the title of professor emeritus, hospitality for its precious conference in a beautiful renovated student residence of the village. Of course, gives him una bicicletta, per poter girare per le strade di un centro storico finalmente nobilitato, dove regna l’obbligo della zona pedonale e la raccolta differenziata. Ed a partire dal quale potrà, con una pista ciclabile, circumnavigare il Mar Piccolo, le cui immagini lagunari stimoleranno ancor più la sua profonda riflessione filosofica. Non è un sogno ad occhi aperti. L’alternativa alla catastrofe è la strada della decrescita, un sentiero piccolo piccolo che cattura il mio sguardo e mi invita a percorrerlo. Ed io ho troppa voglia di camminare. Da subito.
