31.07.2007 Tuhannet ihmiset joutuvat köyhyyden edessä työskentelemään teknologiajätteen kierrätyksen parissa.

Abusivismo costiero
23.07.2007 Oltre 19mila reati, 2,5 per ogni chilometro di costa: è il devastante il bilancio consuntivo dell’illegalità ambientale ai danni del mare italiano, che cresce rispetto allo scorso anno del 19%, riportato dal dossier "Mare Mostrum" di Legambiente. A guidare la classifica regionale è la Sicilia, con 4.472 infrazioni accertate seguita dalla Campania e Puglia, mentre cresce il cemento illegale ed Ischia diventa la capitale dell’abusivismo edilizio. Mare inquinato dagli scarichi illegali e dalle fogne non depurate, cemento illegale e ecomostri sulle coste, proliferazione incontrollata di porticcioli: la Nuova Ecologia lancia perciò un sondaggio sul "peggior nemico dell'ambiente marino italiano". Intanto "Goletta verde" offre informazione in tempo reale sullo stato di salute delle nostre acque, lotta agli abusi edilizi e agli scarichi di sostanze inquinanti, incentivando il turismo sostenibile.
