recycle as much as possible through recycling to reduce pollution: it is not the only action we can do for the environment and nature to which we belong.
In a consumer society arrived at extreme levels of "disposable" it is often the discarding of objects of various kinds, new or almost new again.
Who has never bought a suit for three years after ritrovarselo closet without ever having used or having used a couple of times? The "bad buy" happen to anyone. How
also collect books that are read once and do not intend to review or accumulating too many T-shirts the same color or become more. ... ummm .... fat or skinny ....
Or even change their tastes. Or change jobs and thus environments and then clothing.
Or want to change a piece of furniture because we have changed a piece of furniture. In short, different situations that go to produce garbage. Even recyclable
eh. But have you ever thought that the noble recycling (sacred) entails costs and energy expenditure, or investors?
And calzeeeee? If you're like me you bought the wrong dimensions as much as you bought the right ones.
Nothing wrong, just that discarding or bells for the collection of clothing does not give us the guarantee of the recycling and reuse ... ..
For example, I honestly do not know the criteria of charitable organizations with which a shirt or shoes are donated to someone or sent to the incinerator.
It occurs to me that a pair of shoes a certain value, but only slightly used, not knowing who they are and not having the hygiene standards, are actually thrown in the trash.
Some ladies involved in voluntary work I have confirmed my hypothesis, though I admit frankly that I have reliable sources about it, and I believe that not all groups behave in the same way.
So if I a pair of quality shoes that do not use for various reasons do not have a certain way to preserve nature and avoid ending up in the garbage ... ... And I now want environmental certainty, at least as far as what is in my power to do .
course that if I find a charity that gives me the certainty of use of my objects / donating clothes to those who need it (due to poverty) will favor this path.
But not always find the time and manner of doing so.
And then, frankly, not everything can be given to charities.
to which it is a "poor" in a romance novel? Of laminated recipe cards for French cuisine? A complement to the colorful holiday at sea? A shiny high-heeled slipper that we bought on a whim? An ornament of Murano? A bottle of perfume that we do not like anymore? A series of CDs that we no longer like to hear? Door of a box-joys? A jewel that just do not understand why we bought it?
AAAAAALLLT! DO NOT throw it in the trash!
Buy less and prudently is not the first thing to do, because the current economic situation does not allow us to spend some and spread.
But "more things" in the house we always find.
A solution that is developing in some groups is to lengthen the life of the object through the GIFT - GIFT well targeted.
And it is this idea that I am developing here.
And I want it spread.
In this way, someone who thinks he can use what I use, will prevent the others to go and buy another shirt or shoes or a novel in the library or the baby stroller ... ... in doing so happens that one part you reduce the junk, their costs and their environmental pollution - and on the other hand, a person will save his money, his time and petrol in the car (another pollutant) to go and buy that item that may comfortable.
course must calculate the emission of pollutants from the object to go to my house to his house, but after this I am :-) Meanwhile
think: many times a new purchase, with the low quality that we now offer the average shops, would not be better than that gift that comes from a person we know and with whom we can trade / barter or a simple gift.
actually do not need to feel obliged to reciprocate, because the exchange is that a person is free to home object "useless" (meaning no longer used) and another person is receiving items "new" the serving or who makes piacere avere in casa.
Navigando nei siti internet francesi ho trovato organizzazioni che si occupano di “Recupero e Regalo”, per scopi ambientali, e mettono in contatto le persone che vogliono REGALARE con quelle che vogliono RICEVERE IL REGALO.
In Italia invece ho trovato più che altro qualche iniziativa di “baratto” limitata a qualche città in cui ogni tanto organizzano un mercatino per barattare.
Abbiamo in compenso una notevole diffusione dei mercatini dell’usato in cui vendere/comprare, li ho già sperimentati e non m’interessano più.
Ad un livello sempre piuttosto limitato, in Italia, a piccoli gruppi su internet, e con pochissima pubblicità di queste initiatives, there are also people who are sent from one another or clothing items that no longer use.
And therefore my idea. I thought
to direct gift, so to speak, accompanied by this text to avoid misunderstandings about the purposes of the action. A
Gift kilometers zero to be exact, inspired by the same philosophy applied already for some time in the field of ecological food purchases.
In practice I propose to give priority to people close to us before embarking on domestic and international shipments, as is now the internet to some environmental group.
suggest that to keep the shipping distance as the second solution.
The classic thinking I want to avoid, however, is what "should be making love" to someone. And I think that this is the first concern when I introduce myself with a pair of socks from a relative or friend.
So you need to explain that you are not making an issue of money (maybe the recipient is more money / to me) but a question of ecology!
It is also important that the person receiving has really like or need to object. So let's talk clearly. Needless to bringing "junk" to others because they throw in the bin :-)
Per questo invito chi voglia applicare questa semplice idea alla propria routine quotidiana a stampare questo scritto, in tutto o in parte, per accompagnarlo all’oggetto regalato.
Si potrebbe avviare un circolo virtuoso !
E limitare notevolmente la spazzatura.
Credo che questo ci aiuterà molto anche a capire quanta roba inutile compriamo e quindi regolare diversamente i nostri acquisti futuri.
Imperniandoli più sull’alta qualità e sull’effettiva utilità che sulla quantità.
Questo sarà oggetto di altre mie trattazioni in sezione “risparmio”.
