\nHands up those who, at least once in their lifetime, has not dreamed of living in a small community, in a country or in a place where things are really fair, that is to say truly legitimate. Legitimated from the point of view of ethic, environmental sustainability<\/strong>; a place where policies promote the sustainable and the ethical choices of the citizens, in order to guide themselves in a society inspired by the themes of decreasing (self-production, short chain, organic food or seasonal food, support for the establishment of buying groups, sustainable tourism and hospitality, promoting of peace culture , cooperation and solidarity, “unpacking” of the territories<\/strong>, spread of the fair trade, time banks, self-production, ethical finance, etc.). A society that aims at optimizing the management of the territory, under the inspiring the principle of “no consumption of the land”, with an administrative apparatus which wanted to reduce the waste and to ecologically act through concrete and efficient actions and measure (efficiency energy, green purchasing, organic cafeterias, etc.), to reduce air pollution by promoting policies and concrete projects of sustainable mobility, promoting a proper management of the waste, finding solutions apt of making them no longer a problem, but a resource.<\/p>\n

Read it in full, because it increases the hope!<\/p>\n

However,t he beautiful reality is that these municipalities registered to the network re more than seventy! Definitely there is still lots to do and a long way to run, but what it is important is that small steps are moving: it is by a starting step which begins the journey. The goal should be an administration which would be really able to change and respond to the new (and basically old) needs of either the citizens and the earth we inhabit.<\/p>\n

While visiting these places, let\u2019s keep in mind that, in order to make these projects growing and developing everyone efforts\u2019 is also very important. We should begin to be virtuous citizens who should respect and support what belongs to all of us as it was our property. We should start to be truly civilized citizens: from there the step to be virtuous becomes short.<\/p>\n
