Citric Acid And Swollen Ankles

Tons of concrete on the Lecco


I am a citizen of Lecco, in love with my city. Maybe I should say what is left of my city! And so outraged by the infamous urban management that our politicians are working. Who is in Lecco for the first time today can not help but be amazed at the beauty of the landscape: the unbroken chains of mountains, the lake with her breasts and gulfs, the woods of Resegone that still surround the city ( for what?), the water of the rivers flowing into the ... Yet for too long, one piece at a time, batch after batch, the administration is consuming the territory by throwing tons of cement is more crudely fashioned: green spaces removed, cut trees, ugly tower blocks (who in their right mind would have allowed the last "work" Carsana firm in San Giovanni?). Dostoevsky said that beauty will save the world in Lecco ignorance and interest of a few are creating an ugliness that, on the contrary, we condemn. We must put an end to think only in economic terms. The monetization of the charges and order the urban city. The true wealth is the trees, are the parks where our children can run and play, are the rivers puliti che scorrono accanto a noi. E non ditemi che queste cose non possono convivere con la città. Andate a vedere una qualsiasi città del Nord Europa: Stoccolma, Berlino, Oslo, Copenaghen o le città della vicina Svizzera, Austria e Slovenia! Se la la ricchezza naturale e storica del nostro territorio fosse stata nelle mani di amministratori saggi oggi non avremmo da invidiare nulla a nessuna parte del mondo!   Bisogna indignarsi e trovare ogni forma di opposizione per fermare questo scempio. Perchè non concentrarsi sulla ristrutturazione dei nuclei storici dei nostri quartieri, perchè non adoperarsi per aumentare la classe energetica delle case esistenti rendendole più efficienti e meno inquinanti, perchè non iniziare a major campaign in favor of solar, wind and geothermal ... Do not invent anything, they are concrete proposals in the rest of Europe are finding time to implement: the real estate sector declined for "green", which would be a virtually inexhaustible source of income for our local manufacturers.
