Federcaccia Venezia has promoted an editorial project entitled "The bad environmentalism - Chronicle of an ecological day", distributed by the Editorial Program, which will be presented on Friday 14 June at 10.00 in the headquarters of the Province of Venice, which has given its patronage l important initiative. The idea of the "white book" with an intense photographic testimony, came to Luciano Babbo (Presidency Federcaccia VE), who also edited the texts and the editorial coordination together with Giovannella Caruba and Giusi Vianello of the Venetian Delegation of the Sorella Natura Foundation , following the collection of waste along the coast and in the hinterland of Venice during the annual Ecological Day. On Sunday 7 April, four hundred volunteers, organized by Federcaccia Provinciale Venezia, carried out the cleaning of waste abandoned on the banks of rivers, canals and beaches, from the Bibione Lagoon to Valli di Chioggia, passing through the channel of Lova di Campagna Lupia, the Cassa di Colmata 'A' of Marghera, the Lagoon and the canals of Cavallino Treporti, continuing on to the Laguna dei Salsi, the Sile and Piave rivers, the mouths of the Livenza in Caorle Casoni and the Valle Vecchia side; in Portogruarese on the banks of the Lemene, Reghena and Loncon rivers. In Teglio Veneto, on the border between Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia, the volunteers also collected the waste brought into the Venetian territory by citizens of other regions.
About 5.000 plastic bags were collected: 21 quintals in Chioggia alone, with ten tractors and about fifty boats, thanks to the work of over 50 sports and voluntary associations. Among the protagonists also provincial Ekoclub, Legambiente of the VO as well as the volunteers of the Civil Protection. The waste collected is estimated at 20% of what is still lost in the environment.
Considering how the environmental conditions have worsened in the area and at least three additional days of work by the 400 volunteers are required to complete the work, the Sorella Natura Foundation has very favorably welcomed the sharing of a work that remains in memory of what was detected , but also, in perspective, the harbinger of an environmental education activity in the area. Even the provincial councilor for urban planning and hunting, Mario Dalla Tor, sponsored the initiative, considering that respect for the environment is long overdue both in the north and south of the province; with peaks of maximum decline in Cassa di Colmata 'A' in Mira, in the South Lagoon and in Salsi.
