Butts, litter, chewing gum law and fines for the city clean – Il Tirreno


 Eye to throw crumpled bar receipt for solifo coffee because it could cost anywhere from 30 to 150 Euros. And attention to chewing gum, to tissue or any little waste thrown on the ground, in water, in a drain or in any other place than a basket. But mostly it will be better to forget to throw in the classic cigar or cigarette butt to crush maybe with the shoe: in that case the penalty could reach the remarkable figures of € 300.


 


 Yes, the law on the green economy, a substantial measure consists of 79 items and well on Tuesday approved definitively by the House, is also this: after two years of gestation, as was proposed in the first writing in 2013 on the occasion of the Law stability of that year, has seen the light as Connected Environmental (dry the majority: 169 yes, 32 no, 11 abstentions) and promises to change the way we live with many measures interwoven. “It is a small green that helps financial companies and businesses to go in the direction of a more green and circular, which is the path indicated by the climate conference in Paris – said Ermete Realacci, president of the Environmental Commission and Territory of the House, as well as co-author of the measure -. Attached are the heart of the measures that strengthen the recovery and recycling of raw materials and the second, those for reducing the amount of waste produced and the provisions to develop sustainable mobility with the national strategy for development with the same caratteristichee. Are then introduced funding for activities related to the environment and the green economy, as well as reductions on taxes on waste for municipalities virtuous. “


 


  butts and fines. So, let’s start right from the measure that is already discussed and that the “blow” from 300 Euros for those who, despite everything, continue to throw the cigar and cigarette butts outside special containers that municipalities should prepare in streets, parks and places of aggregation. And here is a question: who will do the fines? Do not you risk becoming merely a measure without the concrete application of the sanction? “It will not be so – the same replication Realacci – although much will depend on what will prepare municipalities. The fines will be raised against anyone and everywhere, thus including beaches (an argument that this last summer has not failed to raise much controversy, ed). I am convinced that the Italians will understand and will adapt. But I wish that there were limited to a few spots, but spoke also of all other aspects. “


 


  The bike as the car. Among these, as we said, it is interwoven a bit ‘of everything, as the fact that those who decide to go to work by bicycle, in the event of an accident, will be Inail covered by insurance, while so far only happened if the person was using their private car or public transport. And then, with the new law, animals are no longer attachable assets by Equitalia, those of affection or pet, “considered incredibly far – adds Realacci – as things like televisions, motorcycles, cars and sofas.”

 


  The return of the “vacuum”. Citizens may be called to bring back bottles of water and beer back in fact, on an experimental basis and on a voluntary basis, the “returnable” in bars, hotels and restaurants, which may decide to ask for a deposit at the time of returning the money if the person returns to deliver the empty container. While in terms of waste the first responsibility will obviously municipalities: the new eco-tax on landfill rewards cities more virtuous and penalizes those who do not achieve the minimum targets for separate collection, with possible positive or negative consequences for the tax on waste. Finally,

the Connected then puts on the plate 35 million euro for projects of sustainable mobility. They could then check to town initiatives of car-pooling, car-sharing, bike-pooling, bike-sharing and walking bus, in the last three cases, in addition to pollution reduction, counter the sedentary lifestyle.
