FIRST REACTIONS - LOOKING FOR A SOLUTION TO THE CRISIS


























In Neaples even priests are asking people to start the rubbish segregation as the only way to overcome the crisis.


In Quarto ( Neaples ) there are about 2900 tons of rubbish scattered along the roads, close to the houses despite the intervention of the army forces.





In San Giorgio ( Neaples ) soldiers have created two special areas for paper and plastics.


The town administration is working on a 5 - point program:


1) opening a site in town for segregated way


2) starting a door-to-door collection system for segregated waste


3) carrying out an information campaign


4) organizing police controls


5) planning regular assessments





In Ariano ( Neaples ) on Friday a protest against the opening of the landfill of " Difesa Grande " was organised. The landfill is supposed to receive 42000 tons of waste.





But the problem is not common to all towns in Campania. The mayors of 150 towns wrote a letter to the President of the Italian Republic, Giorgio Napolitano, to inform him that their administrations started rubbish segregation succesfully years ago. The declared their intention to support other towns in their first steps along this way.
