Nėse do tė vazhdohet me kėto ritme, do tė prishet ekosistemi si dhe do tė vihet nė pikėpyetje suksesi pėr sezonin e ardhshėm turistik. Situata vazhdon tė jetė shqetėsuese, kur askush nuk reagon.

"L'Italia ha perso in un anno il 4,5% di acque blu, passando da un lusinghiero 92% del 2004 all'87,5% della stagione in corso, a dimostrazione di uno stato di salute della depurazione degli scarichi fognari ancora molto precario. Il cemento continua a spuntare come i funghi: oltre 3.300 i casi di abusivismo costiero accertati. E l'illegalitą da quella dei natanti e delle moto d'acqua non in regola, a quella degli scarichi abusivi e della pesca selvaggia". E' l'estate analizzata da Goletta Verde di Legambiente, arrivata ieri in porto dopo che le tre imbarcazioni che hanno partecipato alla ventesima edizione della campagna hanno percorso in due mesi tutti e 8.000 i chilometri di coste italiane e anche qualcosa di pił. Nell'ambito di un progetto Unep Goletta Verde si č infatti spinta anche in Croazia, Francia, Spagna, Tunisia, Malta, Albania.

L'inquinamento da polveri sottili riguarda anche i centri di montagna come Cortina e Courmayeur dove le pm10 hanno superato 50 e 59 microgrammi al metro cubo, contro il limite di 40. E' quanto emerge dalle prime rilevazioni della campagna di Legambiente, la Carovana delle Alpi che chiede alle amministrazioni e gli operatori un investimento in proposte e progetti capaci di ridurre drasticamente il traffico e lo smog. E mentre il Governo ha chiesto alla Commissione Europea di rendere flessibili i limiti delle micropolveri, la commissione Ambiente dellAnci - lassociazione nazionale Comuni italiani ha aderito alla giornata internazionale senzauto del 22 settembre. Una giornata di blocco delle auto per sensibilizzare i cittadini e il Governo che finora non ha dimostrato un forte impegno sul tema dello smog.
