To be a green communicator, it is not necessary to write for a newspaper, a blog, a magazine or work for a news programme, you can start from your social networks, the important thing is to respect a few small rules. First, punctuation and correct Italian writing are the key to success. Respect the capital letters at the beginning of the sentence and the period at the end, and when you put the ellipsis… three [...]

The definition "fake news" has now become part of our daily language, it corresponds to the Italian way of saying media hoax. Digital technologies have accelerated the spread of media hoaxes, therefore, often, we don't even have the time to verify if that news is true, which has already been shared in all the newspapers and on various social networks. If the various media do not verify the source, and relaunch a story thinking it [...]

What is meant by haters? They are "haters" who hide behind fake social profiles and who comment vulgarly or inappropriately on posts published on their social networks by celebrities, politicians, sportsmen, but also by ordinary people. Although hate is an ancient phenomenon, in recent years a new virtual form has been spreading on social media and the internet in general. The network has allowed the creation of many communities aimed at social improvement, but it [...]

Every Italian produces an average of 500 kg of municipal waste per year, of which about 150 kg are biodegradable and compostable, let's learn to separate them well. What is compostable waste? Food leftovers, cut flowers, biodegradable and compostable packaging in bio plastic or paper. A quarter of our rubbish bin is paper and cardboard. Especially after the pandemic, the use of cardboard packaging for delivery has increased, made up of 90% recycled and recyclable [...]

What does it take to recycle paper? Given that paper is one of the materials that can be recycled several times, when we throw something in the recycling bin we have to pay attention to some types of materials that look like paper, but aren't. Receipts, oiled paper, papers that are too greasy, plastic cards… these products are not recyclable. It often happens that the paper arrives a little dirtier to the plants, which have [...]

The fact: only 15% of the waste produced in Italy is recycled. The problem to be solved: in addition to the issue of so-called illegal dumping, there is a world of abandonment with a high impact called littering. This term indicates the abandonment of small waste, such as cigarette butts, cans, etc.; most of this waste has a plastic matrix and its particles accumulate in the sea.  In 1997, Captain Moore identified the first island [...]

A few years ago the stylist Marine Serre said "being sustainable now is no longer a choice but survival". Perhaps not everyone knows that the fashion industry is the second most polluting on the planet, after the oil industry. For example, jeans are one of the most polluting garments in history. Today fashion has had to adapt, trying to shorten the supply chain and reduce the collections. Until before the pandemic, we were faced with [...]

One of the biggest challenges of the circular economy is to reduce waste. In Italy, about 30 million tons of municipal waste and 120 million of special waste are produced each year. The estimate we make is not very precise, but at European level we can assume a ratio of 1:7, i.e. 1 kg of municipal waste for every 7 kg of special waste. Fortunately, there are many Italian companies that are making an effort [...]

Our houses are real mines of materials that can be reused. You can create artistic objects that express the creativity of those who make them, perhaps making them with children. Working with them is always exciting because they have a creativity and open-mindedness that we adults have often lost. Making any kind of new objects come into being from their hands is an ever-changing and content-rich challenge. What was achieved in the "Recycling is an [...]

The Municipality of Tivoli, located on the outskirts of Rome in the Rome East quadrant, has about 60,000 inhabitants. It is the Municipality of Villa d'Este, Villa Gregoriana, Villa Adriana and other archaeological, historical-artistic and UNESCO heritage sites of global importance. In 2014 the city started a small sweet revolution called "separate collection". Tivoli in those years was still besieged by a truly worrying waste emergency, with a very low percentage of separate collection, which [...]

Among the various results in which Tivoli particularly distinguished itself, the collection of “WEEE”, i.e. waste from electrical and electronic equipment, stands out among all. Unfortunately, in many cities this waste is often abandoned in the countryside or in the suburbs, becoming the prerogative of a gray economy by groups that manage the illicit traffic. In Tivoli, since 2015, a project has begun which has brought the collection of WEEE from a few tens of [...]

It is possible to reduce the production of organic waste by paying attention to food waste. Do you think that the collection of this type of waste, which in Tivoli takes place three times a week for domestic users, and every day for restaurants and pizzerias, can be reduced by half if you are careful to optimize what we have in the pantry? using it for cooking and, in the case of catering users, proposing [...]

How do you write successful articles? The important thing is to understand who the recipient is and modulate the language. Then, always remember the fundamental rules of the five W's: What, Who, Where, Why, When, or rather what, who, where, when and why.  Normally, these five W's are found at the beginning of a text. Inside the piece you will find other outline information, up to the details, usually in conclusion, following an inverted pyramid [...]
