Sto sfogliando un libretto dal titolo promettente: Come salvare il mondo in 200 piccole mosse (Robert Hamilton, pp.106, leggere editore, euro 10.00): due consigli ecologici per pagina, ognuno illustrato da una vignetta.
Magro e troppo caro, "l'agile libro" dispensa consigli che vanno dal sacrosanto (Buy detergents on tap you do not waste plastic containers), the obvious (turn off the water while brushing your teeth or while shaving in the shower), the dull-impractical (plant a tree to celebrate the birth of a child , and where? nell'inesistente common garden? in open countryside, on land not yours? in a forest, just on the roots of another tree?), the surreal (check that your dog's flea collar is made of ecological materials) . Some suggestions are repeated, others are difficult to put into practice: optimizing air routes (not wipe up the heavens have already visited the same flight) will also reduce the journey to be made and therefore emissions of carbon dioxide, but how do I recognize "companies that adhere to this philosophy?
The exhortations that really annoy me, however, are those like: "nothing is as good as home made food", then you produce in house ... literally everything: bread, pasta, jams, beer, soap, termicidi natural detergents floor made of white vinegar, baking soda and alcohol also choose consciously, carefully reading all labels on any product purchased at the supermarket, take the foam and the energy-efficient lamps in the relevant collection points, leave the change of tires car tire that the only environmentally and recycle fabled street.
Question: But in a family like mine (two adults working and a daughter who attends the last year of high school), who will assume the task of putting into practice all these wise counsel spending the morning to inspect the products in the supermarket, the lunch break to give the designated waste products polluting the AMIAT not even dream of collecting bins in accessible and dedicated the afternoon to cook delicious food and environmental (of course turning off the oven a bit 'first cooking not to waste energy and by placing these foods in the refrigerator after only that have already cooled to room temperature) and weekends at home to produce detergents, soaps and beers and to clean the carpets with baking soda instead of the hated chemicals?
I do not want to accuse Mr. Hamilton of sexism and hypothesize that it is the usual housewife. Certainly the author has thought of a generic human house, male or female. The problem is that we, your family, the human us know we still have to provide. I want to propose to his spouse and daughter to take, or better yet to marry, a man of proven domestic virtues which entrust the salvation of our animaccia label. I do not know how we can keep it with the loss of purchasing power of wages and my spouse. We hope to be satisfied.
way, to capture this ecoumano need a wedding collective, or just declare a de facto union? And for the household, how are we going?

Excuse the outburst, I too would like to be ecovirtuosa, but not at the price of my work (and my salary)
