UFFACHE CALDO!
UFFA CHE CALDO!
Per effetto delle nostre azioni quotidiane – spreco di risorse naturali, iperconsumo energetico, inquinamento ambientale –
la Terra si sta surriscaldando e questo renderà la vita molto più
difficile da qui al 2100. Siamo noi le prime vittime della
nostra disattenzione.Cosa possiamo fare per evitarlo?
Possiamo produrre meno rifiuti, utilizzare energie rinnovabili, ridurre i consumi e gli sprechi, usare mezzi di trasporto
non inquinaneti e molto altro....
