Calves Ache When Sitting

TARSU / TIA - PRGRU (a breeze that should involve all)

In recent days, the citizens of San Salvatore Telesino are receiving requests for payment to the Tax Municipal Solid Waste (TARSU) of 2009.
After the already substantial increase "immediately" last year, there is a further increase in the rate of 23% in two years has almost doubled!
E 'useless now discuss the responsibilities and omissions that led to the current emergency situation (1), while the upcoming "re-start" the service of waste collection in our common calling once again we citizens make the "our side".
We are confident that there will be full cooperation of the citizens of San Salvatore Telesino which, while rightly annoyed folders for payment of the waste tax in 2009 (delivered with a singular coincidence, these days), are aware of their individual responsibility, regain confidence and to separate the wet paper, plastic, glass, etc.. dall'indifferenziato.
In fact, we know that giving less waste and mixed organic is the only way to hope for reductions in the tax and waste fee in the future, or at least to prevent further increases.
However, it is also now clear that the administration procedures implemented to manage the emergency phase, and their prices until the start of the new collection, and system costs and procedures, which will continue until the opening of the provincial administration.
Moreover, the Ministry for Environment had reported that, although it is a service that must be paid entirely by the citizens, there would be no tax increases in waste.
So it is only right that citizens are informed, with an analytical statement of all costs related to the service, on revenues related to TARSU. It should also be clarified whether the increased burden on TARSU 2009 is necessary to pay off old debts with the Consortium object a recent transaction.
Furthermore, it is time to demand strongly the initiation of procedures for the transition from TARSU the Environmental Health Fee (TIA), as provided by law for many years, and also as promised in the election program of the current council majority.
In this way, being a part of the tariff exclusively linked to the quantity and quality of waste delivered by each household, this would lead to a further incentive to make a collection of quality, and reduce with simple behaviors as appropriate or the quantity absolute rejection of undifferentiated given that the absurd waste of our hyper-consumerist society.
By ensuring that everyone pays the "right" without the "distortions" of the current system, where you only pay in proportion to the area of \u200b\u200bour homes, although uninhabited or inhabited by a single person, will be "rewarded" economically virtuous behavior.
Besides the economic aspect of the matter, then there's the environment, which for us is even more important.
Always in these days, in fact, the Region of Campania on its corporate website, and in particular in the environment Councillor pages, published PAPER FOR THE PROPOSED REGIONAL PLAN OF MANAGEMENT MUNICIPAL WASTE IN CAMPANIA (PRGRU) and PRELIMINARY REPORT ON THE POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS ARISING IN THE PRGRU.
Well, these documents, which form the starting point for the preparation of Regional Plan WASTE, unfortunately, always include the incineration of construction and even the other two plants, one in Naples and one in Salem, besides the two already planned by Bassolino. The first is already operational in Acerra, and its emissions regularly exceed the limits of the law, so much so that many times it was necessary to block its activity, we speak of "poisons" extremely dangerous: nano particles, dioxin, ..., with very serious health consequences, as we have repeatedly documented .
We are very disappointed with the Councillor for the Environment, John Romano, a former mayor of the town of Market Sanseverino (SA) and "champion" of the collection.
As we shared previously acknowledged the waste plan prepared by the province of Benevento, the choice of incineration, the emphasis on recycling, reuse and recovery, and reduction of waste at source (although she critical issues concerning the feasibility of the plan in a short time), so now criticize the decision made different choice regions, which, beyond a merely formal application of EU directives and national, openly and decisively tip incineration (though cleverly call it "energy recovery").
Even if at this moment, while "pushing" on the very different, however, a certain amount of residual waste from "destroy" the Acerra incinerator already in operation would be more than adequate for this purpose, provided that it shall definitely at all levels to achieve higher and higher percentages of recycling, reduction, recovery, reuse, recycling is taken to refer Vedelago, and work to turn even the "monster" of Acerra, rather than making others.
Citizens of Picentino where Salerno incinerator would be built, have long been in mobilization, but it is the case only when activated to stop the "threat" includes the territory, and instead stand up for the entire region and across the country, refuses the logic of the incinerators, which serve only to larger companies that we are enriched, and you only want to reduce, reuse, recovery, recycling, re-design of products, also relying on ... taxation related to the impact of such products and the conduct of companies on the waste cycle, encouraging virtuous practices by both citizens and companies.
also the region of Campania, as was done with the Province of Benevento, ask to value above all the responsibility of municipalities, providing that the provinces and the management of the plants, take only the tasks of planning, coordinating and monitoring the effectiveness of municipalities acting with the "powers of call-back" when municipalities do not meet the "standards" set out in the regional plan and in their provincial plan.
must become active citizens with its directors because undertake a more decisive steps towards the region to demand a different management Waste from the one described by PRGRU and at the same time, exercise a more active role in managing the same path and require a part of the process as an indispensable condition to start more sustainable and environmentally friendly policies.
behaviors and conscious and informed participation of citizens, and their ability to be responsible and to make themselves "feel" from the institutions, can and should influence the choices of the different administrations.

(1) To Rakes (center) to Bassolino (center) to the Head of Department "Protection uncivilized" (the title of the book of Piero Messina - Rizzoli BUR - 2010) Bertolaso, through the consortia and their respective directors, not to mention all the local administrators who are happy to be able to delegate, and with rare exceptions, have always been "overlooked" the obligations relating to recycling, with clear profiles of damage state representative, as well as injury to public health.
