Labia Stretching In India

struffoli ... Most of the Arab Neapolitan cakes!


Fragrances in Morocco for my favorite dessert of the Christmas tradition in Naples.
This is my version, without cocozza (pumpkin candied) and without diavulilli (colored candies), but only with orange blossom honey and candied tangerine!
A simple sweet flavor that brings together two unique cultures seem very distant.



For struffoli:
400g of 00 flour, 4 eggs, salt, a teaspoon of essence of orange blossoms.
Work all the ingredients by hand and let it rest. Divide the dough into pieces and proceed as for the small size of the dumplings.
struffoli Fry in hot oil a few at a time and let them drain on paper towels. When will
struffoli cold water bath to melt 500 grams of orange blossom honey then add the chopped peel of two mandarins and struffoli.
Mix well and pour into a large pot and finished with icing sugar.

How To Fix Bed Slats With Legs

Risotto with pumpkin oil and pumpkin seeds



I love the pumpkin and use it for many dishes both savory and sweet.
The pumpkin goes well with meat and fish but also with other vegetables (fennel and celery root), with spices (turmeric, cumin, Indian saffron, mustard seeds, cloves, cinnamon, ginger, mace , pepper) and cheese (parmigiano, pecorino, ricotta cheese, Taleggio, provolone, gorgonzola)
In my trips I found the pumpkin Taraoudant, in Morocco, as a necessary ingredient for the cous cous vegetarian. In Mexico, I discovered that the seeds of "calabaza" roasted, salted and ground are a key ingredient in Mexican cuisine. In Austria, then, not only eat pumpkin seeds and glazed with sugar but you use a lot of pumpkin seed oil (kürbis kernöl) to dress especially the potato salad.
Wandering on the Internet you can find an infinite number of versions of pumpkin risotto. My recipe is a tribute to one of its derivatives and pumpkin!
There are many varieties of pumpkins. I prefer the pumpkin Neapolitan , elongated green-orange outside and bright orange inside. This pumpkin, compared to the round variety is less sweet, much more humid and a less mealy texture.
It lends itself well to sauces and dressings, but not as a filling for ravioli because it tends to moisten the dough too.


Serves 2 400g of pumpkin Neapolitan to clean

2 cloves garlic 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil salt

grain rice 140g (rome - carnaroli)

50g butter 25g parmesan
25 g pecorino romano

onion ½ cup dry white wine 1 finger

0.5 liters of vegetable stock 1 tablespoon of pumpkin seeds roasted and ground coarsely 2 teaspoons
oil pumpkin

clean the pumpkin and cut it into pieces and then let it simmer in a pan with a clove of garlic and 2 tablespoons of oil over a low heat with the lid until it is cooked.
In a risotto pan fry for 10 minutes on low heat in 30g of butter, a chopped mixture of onion and a small clove of garlic.
Add the rice and toast for 2-3 minutes on high heat, trying not to burn anything :-) then blended with white wine and add just a spoonful of broth and half the pumpkin.
Continue cooking for about 15min by adding broth as necessary. When cooked add the rest of the pumpkin and removed from the heat. Season with
20gr butter and cheese then cover and let rest for a couple of minutes. Serve
After 3-4 minutes on each plate and sprinkle the pumpkin seeds, pour a teaspoon of pumpkin oil and ... more cheese if you want! (Preferably sheep)

La Certosa di Padula


There are no words to describe the beauty National Park of Cilento and Vallo di Diano .
Last weekend I visited the Certosa di Padula .
Despite being a place beyond all imagination, a breathtaking splendor, there is neither a website nor a small guide that is delivered visitors at the time of admission.
Red Guide From the Italian Touring Club on Campania
La Certosa di San Lorenzo, one of the most magnificent monuments in southern Italy, covering an area of \u200b\u200b51,500 m², including the cloisters, the courtyard and the garden was built because of Thomas Sanseverino, count of Marsico in 1306, but construction continued until the early decades of the nineteenth century. The main aspect of the various parts of the building is baroque. The impression one gets from visiting the imposing complex is really great and very impressive.
The monastery was very rich and gave generous hospitality to pilgrims and to strangers. In 1535 there was a guest in the triumphant journey from Reggio to Naples, after the firm's Tunis, Charles V, who dined there: according to tradition, the monks prepared for him and follow a pancake than a thousand eggs.

The monastery was suppressed by the French government, which stayed there 20 thousand soldiers, with the return of the Bourbons returned to the Carthusian monks also, to the suppression of 1866. During the 1915-18 war and from 1940 to 1944 the monastery was converted into a concentration camp.


The Great Cloister, vast rectangle of 15000m ², with two rows of arcades on 84 arches, of 1690.
along the porch opened the districts of the Carthusians, consisting each with 3-4 rooms, the alcove, on a porch, a covered terrace and a garden with a fountain. Next to the entrance of the neighborhood is the window for which you passed food and a hole from which they handed out the light. Inside the Church of the Charterhouse
is decorated with bas-reliefs depicting scenes from the life of San Lorenzo.



The internal structure of the Church from Gothic architecture, with vaulted ceilings, is decorated in the Baroque era.




In the north-west, in an octagonal tower, is the large and elegant elliptical staircase, built in 1761-63 by Gary Beard, who with two ramps leading to the upstairs, where a tunnel running on top of the cloister walk and which served as the monks.

The Cure To Insane Insomnia

green buildings or is it just a facade? The Ten Commandments of the WWF!

Today in Rome the day for Sustainable Architecture of the environmental

casa verde the first requirement of a building 'green'? that is a must! So begins the Decalogue WWF to distinguish the truly sustainable architecture from that secures the title for fashion or interest rates, but often only has a green front.

But an ecological building must also be efficient from an energy standpoint , designed specifically for the place where it stands, built with appropriate materials and aimed at the welfare of the community . Leaves no room for approximation of the Decalogue that WWF today on the occasion of the day "Building the Climate ", organized by the Environment together with Editions under the patronage of the Province of Rome, as a step closer to the fateful Conference on Climate Copenhagen in December, when the world will have to decide how to address the great challenge of climate change.

casaeco Yes, because the construction of buildings with high quality environment - with a low impact and low energy consumption to a minimum - is a key instrument for reducing emissions of CO2, a major contributor to global warming. How? First, the changing needs upstream, through a reduction in demand for manufactured and an increase in its environmental quality. And then through the diffusion of practices, materials and appropriate technologies, can be managed directly by local communities.

Hence the ten requirements that a building must be truly ecological , not to be confused with the array of projects 'green' 'Ecological', 'sustainable' more or less sincere, which often boasts modern architecture: a ) its construction is necessary, two) is properly located, three) is specific to a locality, four) recovery or retraining the existing five ) minimizes size, six) use materials with low energy use, healthy, low-impact, seven) reduce the need for energy, eight ) give an active role in designing the inhabitants, nine) expresses the ability of the social construct, ten) is directed towards the welfare of the community

From theory to practice, the Congress today - introduced by the honorary president of WWF Italy and Fulco Pratesi architect and president of the WWF Lazio Vanessa Ranieri - has reviewed elements of sustainable construction projects and very concrete: the study of materials and techniques for the thermal insulation and energy efficiency of buildings (architect Paul Rava, University of Ferrara), an architectural project "essentials" in a poor area of \u200b\u200bAfrica, made with local resources and materials and the high social value (architect Emilio Caravatti), the realization of a residential neighborhood in Pieve di Cento, near Bologna, based on a close relationship between nature and constructed, and a confrontation between bioclimatic Technology and local traditions (architect Angelo Mingozzi, University of Bologna).

The day was also the occasion to present the book "Sustainable Architecture and brick " architect Adriano Paolella, President of WWF research and design and by Edizioni Ambiente, which paints a landscape architecture sustainable brick between climates, cultures and economic realities profoundly different, to emphasize the versatility to build a simple and local, given the challenges posed by climate change and global economy.

Study or office stationary "Sustainable architecture is one of the most concrete and immediate that we have to lessen the impact of our societies on the planet and the challenge of climate change already in note - said Fulco Pratesi, honorary president of WWF Italy and architect himself - in this crucial year for the climate and land, with the Copenhagen Conference on the one hand and a growing enthusiasm on the other building, it is essential that the actual practice of sustainability should be a benchmark in every aspect of architecture, from the redevelopment of the existing building of new works.

FOR THE WWF CLIMATE TO COPENHAGEN

Sustainable Architecture The day was organized by WWF and Research Projects Generation in Climate , the campaign on WWF's climate and energy efficiency that four years is to raise awareness of institutions, citizens and businesses on the need to drastically reduce CO2 emissions to counter the threat of climate change in progress. The campaign Generation Climate, WWF has declared 2009 the Year of the climate, 365 days characterized by intense diplomatic agenda full of international events that the WWF is constantly manned with the aim of exerting strong pressure the leaders of the Earth until it reaches a global climate agreement at the International Conference to be held in Copenhagen in December 2009.

To feel the pressure of public opinion in Copenhagen on who will decide the fate of the planet, the WWF has launched the campaign in Italy " A vote for the Earth - Earth Vote," inviting all individuals, institutions, companies to vote for the Earth with a strong and clear message addressed to the leaders to endorse a climate agreement is fair, effective and binding. Just click on the site www.wwf.it to cast their vote, which will be displayed on a special Google map with that of millions of citizens around the world. The campaign will develop over the coming weeks with various activities and events, bringing the rating for the earth among the people. In the middle of the votes Global Summit on earth will be displayed and updated on a big 'globe' positioned at the Summit venue (Bella Centre).

Halloween Costumes Do-It-Yourself and environmentally conscious

article by Alberto Maria Vedova on greenME

Costumi_Halloween_fai-da-te Climate change and extinction, more fearful of Dracula. Halloween is undoubtedly one of the most entertaining parties around, but can also become a problem for those seeking an original costume and especially ecological . Between tricks and treats, the children, but also the most nostalgic "Peter Pan", after having thought about do-it-yourself decorations may, however, appear on the popular pre-Christian festival of origin (typically the U.S. and Canadian but now well established throughout the world), something that is not only a simple disguise, rather a clear message.

Recycling, reuse and eco-friendly materials are the main ingredients of our transformation. But above all, the meaning of our characters is a key to the party. Not the usual Frankenstein or Count bat. Preservation of ' environment, biodiversity, and climate , perhaps much more frightening and realistic themes of these times, will be the master.

happy tree

Perhaps there are few trees happy today. Deforestation and pollution are certainly arguments to be laughing at our friends of the forest, but this costume before us again a relationship with the often forgotten. A stroll through a forest, collect gifts of Mother Earth, be inspired by the varied colors of autumn leaves.

ALBERO What you need:
About two meters of cloth biological
Small pieces of eco-felt dark brown, tan, rust and orange
Some branches large and small
A small roll of twine hemp
Scraps of fabric (old clothes) in autumn colors or prints
Colla Natural


What to Measure the height of the child wearing the costume from the neck to the ankles, so to know the required length of fabric to be cut, leaving a few inches longer to create the hem.
Wrap the cloth around the body freely, creating a kind of tube that will form the shape of the tree trunk , and then begin sewing down the back, leaving about 20 cm open so you can connect the branches. At the height of the arms leave holes in order to create the armholes.
The leaves collected with the scraps of fabric or gathered in the woods near the house you can stick with the glue on the branches.

Once attached to the top of the canvas around the branches and twigs must be secured with string. To create the straps connecting the branches and the string with another piece of cloth to the front of the canvas. With the echo felt you can create various decorations such as an owl in the den. Now just smile and happy our tree is ready!


The woodcutter

While the situation of our forests is not funny, we can give a tone of malice and terror to our costume. Perhaps it will be fun for those who chose the former clothed, but the loggers can be considered more in horror theme for a party and perfect for our eco Halloween.

TAGLIALEGNA

What you need:

A wool hat

plaid shirt

Jeans

hiking shoes

A cardboard box

A piece of cardboard

Ball of string hemp

Colla Natural

How do

This dress is very simple to implement. You only need to wear old shoes, even those used in our walks in the woods, a pair of jeans (maybe eco-cotton), the plaid shirt that never wear a wool hat. To get even more in our character is not advisable to cut the beard for a few days (the children can draw).

The chainsaw can be achieved by reusing an old shoe box to which the glue stick with a piece of cardboard cut in a zig zag. The handle of our eco-saw it by tying the string to the box. A word of advice, do not bother the tree happy!


polar bear
The melting of glaciers on our planet as well as being a clear warning of the devastating effects of global warming, are also the cause of concern situation in which lives the ' polar bear in danger of extinction. Even the activists Greenpeace, during the last G8 demonstrated against this dramatic reality disguised as homeless polar bears complete with sign " victim of global warming." If we want to leave an important message this costume is right for us.

ORSO

What you need:

A 'white faux fur (unless you have one available, you can try to look for used clothing stores or flea markets )

Black makeup

Cardboard

How do

should wear eco-white fur and make up our nose to resemble a bear. On board you can write several messages: "stop global warming", "bear homeless" or "looking for home."

The Little Mermaid poisoned

pollution of the sea, a subject known to us after the recent events related to the ship of poisons, can be represented in an original way. Ariel certainly did not touch this button instill the Sea with his friend Sebastian, but with the little mermaid that embody this costume has been adversely affected incontrastanti of modern society.

SIRENETTA

What should

A green bodice

a tight skirt and long

Shells

Charter

Make Green

Plastic bags

Colla Natural

How do

Our little mermaid should not be combed. The appearance will be sloppy and so the costume .

Attach to bodice with glue shells at the breast. The skirt, preferably old and no longer used, must be torn up and closed at the bottom to create the shape of the tail. Attach pieces of paper cut by way of scales on the skirt to the end of the tail. With the bags tied to the throat and make-up shabby green lips and under the eyes, the look is not the best, but the Our alarm polluted sea will certainly be taken into account.

Greenpeace scale the English Parliament to save the climate


Westminster_greenpeace Only 55 days separate from the world conference on key climate change to Copenhagen, but apparently there is a very real risk of failure. On the occasion of Blog Action Day dedicated to climate change Newecologist invites all bloggers to attend the event and to sign the petition to ask the deli U.S. president, Barack Obama to take concrete decisions to tackle climate change. The goal now is to draw attention to global warming, trying to raise awareness and find possible solutions. Perhaps, through the blog will also be possible to influence the top leaders of the Earth who will attend the summit in December.

Meanwhile, the preliminary meeting on the UN Climate last week in Bangkok, China and other 130 countries in the developing world have accused rich countries including the United Kingdom, of trying to sabotage the negotiations and there has been widespread concern that the developed nations are not using the necessary commitment vital to seal the agreement. That's because last 55 Greenpeace activists have climbed the railings of Westminster Palace, the British Parliament, with climbing the stairs.

Objective? Attracting the attention of politicians on climate change for the upcoming reopening of Parliament after the break. Environmentalists showed a banner with the words: 'Change the policy, save the climate'.

After the failure of countries developed during the UN meeting in Bangkok last week, it should be renewed leadership within the EU. Leadership that would take the UK. The next week, in fact, there is a meeting of environment ministers in London the Major Economies Forum, where the most polluting countries will discuss how to address the meeting in Copenhagen. A demonstration

important, an invitation rather than a provocation. The Parliament building five Greenpeace climbers have scaled the lightning rod of 15 meters. And after eighteen hours, thirty-one Greenpeace activists are still on the roof of the Palace of Westminster, 24 on the roof of the Grand Chamber and seven Committee on the tip top of Westminster Hall.

deployed as snipers, protesters patiently await the return of Parliament after the summer break. While some volunteers handed out Westminister civil servants and parliamentarians of the leaflets containing the twelve points to transform the UK into a country based on a low carbon economy, others have been arrested and others are struggling at the top of the tower. But will anything really?

Brikesh Singh, one of the activists on the roof top, said: "We are very pleased that there are so many of us still here to remind the MPs that there is only fifty five days until the UN climate summit in Copenhagen. I Negotiations have stalled, we need leadership from developed nations like the United Kingdom if we are to achieve an agreement that we need while we are rapidly running out of time at our disposal. "

Ladies and gentlemen: 55 ... unless you do your game!

NEW ECO-DRIVING GREENPEACE: NOKIA FIRST, LAST NINTENDO, PHILIPS HP AND BETTER WITH GREENPEACE

Greenpeace spreads the thirteenth edition of the Eco-guide to electronic products. Nokia remains atop the standings with 7.5 points out of 10, followed by Samsung with 6.9 points, Philips and Sony Ericsson with 6.5 which is a jump from seventh to fourth place with 5.9 points. Climbing the charts for Sony rising from twelfth to eighth place. In the eighteenth and last position Nintendo.

Greenpeace recognizes the commitment of Hewlett Packard (HP), which brought a laptop on the market almost no PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and BFRs (brominated flame retardants). Only the power supply and cables still contain these substances.
few months ago, the association had carried out protest actions at HP headquarters in Palo Alto (California / USA) and at company offices in China and the Netherlands, due to the delay of the company to maintain its commitment to eliminate these toxic substances by 2009.

In the ranking of Greenpeace, Lenovo and Dell retain their penalty for delaying their commitments to the elimination of hazardous substances. Acer claims to still be able to reach the goal of eliminating all of its products PVC and BFRs by the end of the year. Toshiba instead has a roadmap that provides for the elimination of these toxic substances by March 2010.

Bad news from LGE instead goes to the fourth to eleventh place for having decided not to respect its commitment to eliminate PVC and BFRs by 2010, only his cell will not contain these substances, while the elimination of TVs and monitors is not expected before 2012. Fujitsu bottom of the league with 2.7 points, which bypasses the sixteenth Lenovo moves to second from bottom with just 2.5 points.

This edition of Greenpeace eco-guide, which assesses companies based on criteria including energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, is being published only two months after the crucial climate summit to be held in December in Copenhagen.

"Only Philips, Acer and Samsung are currently in favor of cutting emissions enough to avert a climate catastrophe" specific Alessandro Gianni, campaigns director of Greenpeace "We expect these companies to their commitments on the environment and on climate also encourage other companies. In fact, it's really disappointing that such giants as Apple, Nokia and Microsoft are completely absent in this match. "

Writing A Letter Of Community Service For Court

the Sardinian authorities BEFORE THE MINISTRY OF



This morning a delegation of mayors of northern Sardinia, and the chairman of the province along with Greenpeace Olbia Tempio occurred in front of the entrance to the Ministry of Environment with a warning sign that hangs over their head. "For months we have a meeting with the Minister Prestigiacomo - explained Giorgio Monti, campaign manager of Greenpeace Ocean - The situation of the Strait of Bonifacio is unsustainable. In August, Italian and French local authorities have signed an appeal, but while the French Minister of Environment is carrying out work in that area to prevent high-risk pass through ships with hazardous materials, the Italian minister has so far been completely deaf. Despite the meeting with the Executive Board, we are disappointed with the absence of the minister. On the head of all hangs the threat of a possible, imminent environmental disaster. The minister wants Prestigiacomo be responsible? ".



The Strait of Bonifacio, an area rich in biodiversity and valuable landscapes and tourism, environmental risks every day of the tragedy because of the transit of cargo over three thousand boats a year, of which Ten percent transports hazardous materials. Italy and France have banned the Strait the transit of ships with cargo at risk, but unfortunately, this prohibition does not apply to all other flags. Greenpeace calls for urgent Italy several series of protective measures.

This morning the delegation was received by the Secretary General of the Ministry of Environment, Marco De Giorgi, and the Director General for Nature Protection, Aldo Cosentino. Greenpeace has called for certain dates in which the Minister Prestigiacomo Meeting the French Minister to present the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) a proposal for the inclusion of the strait in the list of Particularly Sensitive Sea Areas (PSSA). The Directorate General has undertaken to attend a meeting with local communities to start the project of the International Marine Park and to update the delegation on the progress in this regard, the initiation of these measures by the end of October.

The appeal made to the Ministers of Environment of Italy and France was signed on 3 August by more than thirty representatives of local governments of Sardinia and Corsica (including the Vice-President of Sardinia, the President of the province and Olbia Tempio Mayors of 14 municipalities in the north of Sardinia) on board the Rainbow Warrior, Greenpeace's flagship, anchored off the islands of Lavezzi.

Boka also found within the Sanctuary of Cetaceans "Pelagos. Greenpeace for years denounced the degradation the Sanctuary, providing accurate data to the Ministry and requested that action is taken about it, but until now nothing has been done.
Greenpeace has been busy this summer with a tour of the Rainbow Warrior in defense of the Mediterranean, and sailed in the Sanctuary of cetaceans by promoting and carrying out monitoring activities, starting from this part of the sea, creating a network of Marine Reserves fully protected, covering 40% of the sea.

Earth Overshoot Day: EARTH ENTERS INTO RESERVE

Source ecozoom

The alarm we had launched , resources are finite, the Earth moves in reserve.

September 25 is Earth Overshoot Day , the time of the year in which the human species has spent renewable resources available and begins to devour those who should support future generations.

to calculate this date is Global Footprint Network the association measure the ecological footprint of humanity, ie mark product on the planet from our daily lives.

IMPRONTA ECOLOGICA MONDIALE

WORLD ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT

The impact has been more consistent since the beginning of ' nineteenth century, but only in recent decades has begun the dramatic growth that is continuing. In 1961 humanity consumed half the planet's biological capacity. In 1986 we pushed to the limit and reached the first Eeath Overshoot Day: December 31 of that year, the available resources were finite.

In 2050, if the energy crisis there has forced the ecological wisdom, for keeping the accounts in balance, we need a sister planet to use as a supermarket to pick up raw materials, water, forests and energy.

According to FAO estimates of 2001:

DEFORESTATION: continues at a level of about 13 million hectares per year.

BIODIVERSITY ': Over the past 30 years, the Living Planet Index (wild vertebrates) decreased by 30%.

salinisation: affects 20 million to 30 million of the current 260 million hectares of irrigated land.

OCEAN FISHERIES: 75% is above or in balance with respect to the productive capacities of the sea.

GREENPEACE: DRAWINGS IN RICE IN ITALY TO GIVE A KICK TO THE GMO



ROME, September 24, 2009 - After Thailand, Greenpeace brings the "rice art" in Italy. This morning, in fact, a huge drawing of about 800 square meters, has appeared in a rice field in the biological province of Milan. Activists have worked many hours to trace the outline of the Italian boot that kicks off the GMOs. The goal is to protect the Italian rice agriculture from the threat of genetic engineering in the agro-food industry.

At the European level will soon vote to authorize the import of GM rice from Bayer (LL62) modified to resist a toxic herbicide, glufosinate. Glufosinate is considered so dangerous to humans and the environment will soon be banned in Europe.

"Italy is the largest producer of organic rice and at European level, what's the risk with the transgenic rice? Bayer also admitted that this rice may accidentally germinate, with the risk of contaminating the domestic production - says Federica Ferrario, head of Greenpeace GMO campaign Italy - All this while there are still doubts about the safety for animal and human consumption of GMOs. We want to send a strong message to the Italian government and European authorities to prevent the importation of transgenic rice. "

The design is was carried out in a field of rice variety "fly" on a farm converted to organic for the past 20 years, and within the territory of the Parco del Ticino. The Greenpeace activists had been held with the support of the Park.

"Parco del Ticino for many years adopted an organic farming and integrated farming geared to protect both biodiversity and to protect the landscape. - Says Milena Bertani, President of the Ticino Park - why we support the Greenpeace campaign against the commercialization of GM rice, considering that rice is one of the most significant products of our territory, we want to keep non-GMO. "

Greenpeace campaign for sustainable agriculture and food production GM-free and based on principles of sustainability, protection of biodiversity and be able to provide all people access to safe and nutritious food. Genetic engineering is an unnecessary and unwanted technology that contaminates the environment, threatens biodiversity and poses unacceptable risks to health.

Should Discharge Smell If You Have Herpes

AT RISK ARCTIC, ICE ALREADY LOST 'BY GREENPEACE



in today the annual minimum ice coverage of the Arctic . The year 2009 ranks third - after 2007 and 2008 - among the worst years for the loss of the surface of the Arctic ice cap (1). Another warning signal to world leaders at the Copenhagen summit will reach an agreement to avoid catastrophic climate change.

The Greenpeace icebreaker, the Arctic Sunrise, is continuing his expedition in the Arctic and is now located off the northeast coast of Greenland , in front of the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard. On board was added Peter Wadhams, an expert of world renown that will use the Arctic Sunrise as a platform for their research on the state of reduced Arctic Ocean ice.


"We are entering a new era of melting ice in the Arctic Ocean due to global warming," explains Dr. . Peter W adhams. "Within twenty years the Arctic will reach the end of the summer completely free of ice covering the sea. We can no longer rely on predictive models used to date who have overestimated the real conditions since the '80s. "

Peter Wadhams, of Cambridge University, is leading a group of independent scientists who are studying the different types of melting rate of ice, to explain how why some areas of the Arctic are disappearing faster than we expected.

"The extension of the Arctic Ocean ice decreases for over thirty years, but in the last decade we have witnessed a worrying phenomenon of acceleration," recalls Francis German, head of Greenpeace's Climate Campaign. "In the summer of 2007 it reached a record low, about 4.3 million square kilometers, a value that was scheduled for 2080."



"It is the third minimum of three years: yet another cry of alarm about the state of the planet," says Melanie Duchin, expedition leader aboard the Arctic Sunrise. "World leaders must be aware of the dangers and efforts to reach an agreement in Copenhagen courageous, ambitious and effective."

Greenpeace calls for industrialized countries to commit themselves to reducing their greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by 2020 , compared to 1990, and to provide financial resources to developing countries at least 110 billion € per year until 2020, so as to help reduce the growth of their emissions by 15-30% in 2020.

2030 Frankfurt Motor Show: "THE GERMAN CAR CRUSHED PLANET"


F RANCOFORTE, September 17, 2009 - The entrance to the Frankfurt Motor Show, the Greenpeace activists placed an enormous sculpture that represents the world crushed by the tires of a car and have made the most polluting models eyes and sharp teeth. The protest is against cars with high climate impact made by German car manufacturers.

The activists unfurled banners addressed to German manufacturers with the inscription "Pollution and climate killer", while with the message "Stop eating-fuel" urged German Chancellor Angela Merkel, to this' inauguration, to take a stand against the emission too high for German cars.

"We have the technology to produce cars that do 100 miles with 3 liters, but the switch to efficient cars still difficult to occur" - says Andrea Lepore, campaign manager for Greenpeace Climate and Transportation. "While the industry is able to offer models with low environmental impact, the German manufacturers continue to build cars heavier and more powerful."

The report just released by the organization ' Transport & Environment' , based on official data from the European Commission, clearly shows that while some manufacturers are making strides in reducing emissions, others are still very far from the targets set by the EU for 2012 and 2015. The current average emission of European manufacturers of 153 grams per kilometer, far away from 140 g / km, which ten years ago, car manufacturers have promised to achieve by 2008.

According to figures from Transport & Environment ', the record for highest average emissions is up to Daimler / Mercedes, with no less than 175g/km of CO2. The figure is 23% higher emissions that cars from the German will have to be met by 2015.

"The new hybrid and electric technologies offer enormous opportunities for the future - says Andrea Lepore - In order to achieve important results in the short term, using technologies already available , all car manufacturers can and should make cars lighter and more efficient. "
