How To Contract Folliculitis

The earth cries drowned out by the Italian cement

The peninsula is the fourth largest in the world for the phenomenon of "proofing" that the vitality of the soil is deteriorating


of Adriano Ferrara (Article originally published on http://www.wakeupnews.eu



" Screws machines on earth, as women in prayer, winding paths on hillocks of stone walls, earthy, sun-like reptiles. Men and women equal in the face and acting within. Heather and ferns and pine trees, scrub and gold bars, racing towards the sun, singing odes to the wind whispering eternal. " These are the words of Pablo Neruda , in this beautiful poem "Vineyards of the five lands" to describe with passion the beauty and splendor of nature, with a depth so great that it can be hands-on.



love the land, cultivate it, manage it and especially compared is a duty of all. But unfortunately, modern society has forgotten this important need, turning the soil in an ordinary object to be exploited , removing soul and vitality. And this, even worse, especially in our country .



Ironically - but no surprise by now - Italy boasts a rich variety of biodiversity (far outpacing countries like Spain and England), not investing but on a more protection of this diverse collection, on the ground of so many plant and animal species living. Not surprisingly, the "boot" is among the last were claimed by ' Ispra (Institute for protection and environmental research) regarding the abundance of biological life. Soils are infertile Italic, poor carbon and low-quality production with a high risk of serious erosion.



nostrana The surface is in a state of decay, the highest number of accomplices parasitic invasive species (such as the terrible snail killer, who haunts and kills entire harvests in the countryside), the 'greenhouse and especially the construction industry, which has given rise to a sort of phenomenon of " Waterproofing ," condemning to death by suffocation the ecological system, massacred (and this is especially true at the expense of the poor plants, which are taken from light and oxygen needed for the process of photosynthesis) and crushed by concrete.



The peninsula is no longer among the top four countries in the world to have this serious problem (in 2008 were well produced 43 million tons of concrete ), much to be appealed as the "Cinderella " biodiversity.



However, despite this sad and steady process of degeneration, there's also comforting signs confirmed by the Ispra and its commissioner, the chief Vincenzo Grimaldi, who spoke of a draft national strategy where for the first time ever was given the design and implementation of a soil monitoring plan in order to control and revitalize it. The hope is that the project will soon become reality , avoiding at all costs to become a sad sermon in the desert of a land less and less alive.
