Porto Torres Municipality Virtuoso

Friday, June 6th, 2008

It 'an experiment, an attempt ... to try and build projects, develop ideas, improve the city's all done with the aim of making the famous Porto Torres a common virtue. Link to project page: http://www.borraccetti. com / portotorresvirtuoso What it means to be virtuous community?

The City virtuous take all measures that spread awareness and want to meet new needs and practical needs in the field of environmental sustainability, urban and social development.

My experiment is to create a website, or better, a wiki , ie a site where all members can edit and create documents and pages, develop projects and provide ideas. A similar project in wikidemocracy or famous wikipedia but concentrated on the draft Porto Torres virtuous community.

There is no current intention to form policy, encourage or support any of them. The site has the function of concentrating in one place many ideas and make them available to everyone.

I know that Porto Torres is a small town and that statistically there will be many people interested in this project;

I also know that an online always lose a good portion of the willing who have not or do not exploit the network in the best way;

I also know that there are other realities that have brought or may bring the projects themselves, in these cases you can work on a common project and present it together;

It would be nice to Porto Torres demonstrate that there are still people who want to improve!

But we talk about the project: What goals should we ask? From what proposals we start?

The statutory purposes include in particular the commitment to:

* Reduce energy consumption by encouraging the use of bio-architecture, technology cakes, and energy conservation;

* Reduce waste in the consumption of potable water;

* Reduce the emission of greenhouse gases and reducing air pollution;

* Increase the recycling of waste.

Taken from the Communist Manifesto Virtuosi

It was an idea that I hoped to take the foot, which used to design a network to create a critical consciousness on many aspects of their city. Probably little or nothing has been advertised, I may not even dedicated heart and soul into something, probably not interested at all.

The idea of the project will remain active only on my blog, given the fact that we write it just me, my girlfriend and some of my friends ...

Experts speak of the collection, proabilmente our politicians did not hear them.

Wikipedia says:

[...] Other systems have been developed for the destruction of micropollutants such as heavy metals (mercury, cadmium, etc.) and dioxins .

Regarding the former, this is solid phase pressure, most of them is made to condense the system of emissions control and is concentrated in the so-called fine particles (fly ash). Their reduction is then given to the efficiency of collector who comes to ensure removal of more than 99% of PM 10 produced, but nothing can against PM 2.5 and nanopowders . For this reason the dust emitted are considered particularly harmful. [...] (more ...)
