TO: THE MAYOR OF VENICE, LUIGI BRUGNARO

Please DO NOT ABOLISH the "Park of the Venetian Lagoon". DO NOT REMOVE the protection of more than 16 thousand hectares of this fragile ecosystem.

Why is this important? 

Oh my God, we have got a Trump in the Venetian lagoon. On the Italian news right now, the mayor of Venice entrepreneur Luigi Brugnaro has removed the protected area in the lagoon! This is in addition to the fact, as you probably already know, that cruises are still going through the Venetian lagoon. Only a protected area can really avoid that lobbies destroy this unique ecosystem. Oil tankers, freighters and powerful speed boats carrying hundreds of tourists, create waves that destroy the sandbars and mudflats wiping out the natural movements that once slowed down the advancement of the tides. THEY ACT AS HOT IRONS ON A VERY DELICATE FABRIC, flattening the lagoon bed. 

All these disturbances increase the erosion that is ruining the depths of the lagoon and eating away at the foundations of buildings. Not to mention the disappearance of the sand banks that acted as sponges since centuries, limiting the rise of the water level. Lobbies do not like Nature conservation laws. For this reason, they have just removed the protected area. 

WE ALL LOVE VENICE. Venice belongs to the World. For this reason, please sign this petition http://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/save-the-venetian-lagoon (only for UK) or https://www.change.org/p/the-mayor-of-venice-luigi-brugnaro-save-the-venetian-lagoon and http://community.avaaz.org/petitions/save-the-venetian-lagoon-1 (rest of the world)

I vegetariani vivono 7 o 8 anni in più!

@RedRonnie @La7tv @LaGabbiaTw @gparagone Basta che tu dica che i vegetariani vivono 7/8 anni in più. Detto tutto. https://t.co/hbivFc9ruq

Se qualcuno sparlando ti dice che essere vegetariani significa essere deboli, chiedigli se il bufalo o il toro, gli animali più forti al mondo, sono erbivori o carnivori.

The denial of human rights in American prisons after Iraq's invasion, provided a unique setting for radicalization and creation of the Islamic State.

Guantanamo Bay detention camp

After the disgraceful invasion of Iraq, American prisons provided a unique setting for both prisoner radicalization and inmate collaboration — and was formative in the development of today’s most potent jihadist force. In all, nine members of the Islamic State’s top command did time in one of them, at Bucca. These prisons became virtual terrorist universities: the hardened radicals were the professors, the other detainees were the students, and the prison authorities played the role of absent custodian. So, from the ashes of what former inmates called an “al-Qaeda school” rose the Islamic State.

Do you know that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was detained by the Americans before to become the leader of the so called Islamic State? The denial of human rights doesn't pay. 

Only infinite IGNORANCE can force the mayor of Venice to remove the protected area in the lagoon.

Oh my God, we have got a Trump in the lagoon. On the news right now, the mayor of Venice entrepreneur Luigi Brugnaro has removed the protected area in the lagoon. I dedicated one year of my life trying to promote the idea the only a protected area can really avoid that lobbies destroy this unique ecosystem (the previous Mayor of Venice was arrested in corruption investigation over city's flood barriers). Cruises through the Venetian lagoon!! Oil tankers, freighters and powerful speedboats, that can carry hundreds of tourists, create waves that destroy the sandbars and mudflats, and wipe out the natural movements that once slowed down the advancement of the tides. All these disruptions increase the erosion that is ruining the depths of the lagoon and eating away at the foundations of buildings.
The mayor of Venice replied to my tweet as a lad sending his first text full of emoticons:

@InEsplorazione @DreamOfVenice se non ci foste non ci divertiremmo nemmeno. 😀Grazie per le offese caro Alberto, tutte medaglie. 🌹🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀

Elthon John was right writing about the Mayor of Venice "Beautiful Venice is indeed sinking, but not as fast as the boorishly bigoted Brugnaro". Oh my God, we have got a Trump in the lagoon.

 

Almeno stavolta

Climate change is real, and it's happening right now. Let us not take this planet for granted.

Un cimitero di blog senza vita.

All'inizio l'entusiasmo. I blog brulicavano di vita. I post sbocciavano da soli e i commenti arrivavano come insetti che riproducevano quel profumato tam tam indipendente. I blog suonavano a tamburo. Ricordo ore ed ore, intere giornate a scrivere sul blog, condividendo un libro che mi aveva aperto pagine di vita oppure santificando un posto paradisiaco scoperto per caso. I blog crescevano come creature vive e pulsanti che in qualche modo diventavano l'alter ego di chi vi ci scriveva e collaborava. Leggerli, era come accarezzare delle pagine di vita vera. Poi per quello stesso maledetto processo che vede Amazon mangiarsi ad uno ad uno tutti i negozietti, siamo incominciati a morire. Virgilio.it non c'è più, come non c'è più tempo per dare da bere a quelle piantine dei blog che muoiono assetate di contenuti. Ebay, Google, Amazon, Twitter, Facebook, Youtube hanno asfaltato tutto. Visiti l'Ansa, Il Corriere, La Repubblica, Il Fatto Quotidiano ma poi non sai più dove andare e cosa fare, non hai più quel blog indipendente. Non è morto solo Vittorio Arrigoni. E' morto anche il suo blog. Quanto tutti i negozietti hanno chiuso i battenti, ti resta quel centro commerciale dove van tutti, ma che è anche un'isola artificiale. Per questo, quanti ti imbatti in un blog senza vita, quando vedi un orologio fermo che non batte più le ore, pensa.

Hanno ucciso anche i Blog chi sia stato lo si sa.
