Bruises From Using Crutches

in "campaign" in the electoral

I happens in these weeks to meet with candidates at the next election ( therefore potential future directors of Municipalities and Regions) asking me cosa sia EMAS o cosa fare per caratterizzare meglio la propria Politica ambientale di cui si fanno promotori in questo periodo.
La “cosa” non mi lascia indifferente e da un lato la trovo stimolante e positiva ma dall’altra mi suscita un nutrito carico di dubbi e di preoccupazioni e, se posso, anche sensazioni negative.
Vorrei allora proporVi un elenco di 10 microconsigli (“istruzioni per l’uso” direbbe qualcuno al mattino presto…), per evitare di trovarsi poi impantanati in situazioni assai disagevoli.

1)
EMAS è uno strumento straordinario per la gestione di ogni organizzazione in chiave ambientale, which enables a recognition of excellence by the EU .
should make people understand what we are talking about: not a mark as others.

2)
system is a "major" which enables recognition of "high", is unthinkable that the task that requires both unimportant .
well Evaluate the resources to put in place before leaving (sometimes happen to listen to "... how much does it cost to EMAS" when in fact you would say "how much it costs to get ... right with the applicable environmental law "

3)
EMAS requires a minimum compliance with environmental laws applicable . No matter if someone has ignored in an unconscious way or the other relevant local PA (but interesting in its own territory) is the first not to comply with the law!
Now: patience and skill, first of all! Sometimes the path of EMAS should shed light on many issues, which have many responsibilities and action games for a long time.

4)
EMAS is a political tool (non-party ...) namely, given the previous point, the path of a PA on their way to EMAS must be of "stimulus" (but also challenge the complaint and almost ...) for our local context.
worth internally verify to what extent we are willing to solicit other PA ...

5)
the EMAS accreditation system is kind of audience. This means that the verifier is tested by the independent higher-level (which is EMAS Committee and working through ISPRA). This system requires that the verification of compliance made and guaranteed by EMAS verifier must be confirmed by the competent ARPA : if the outcome is negative (ie emerging elements of non compliance), it is clear that the client is initiating the procedure provided by law (criminal, complaint, penalty, ...) and for verifier begins the procedure for the possible suspension of the accreditation itself.
The EMAS verifier must be able to know everything and more: you are available for this?

6)
The external communication is likely due and not only for good deeds to be proud of and proud but also per situazioni più “grigie” e negative, che spesso rimangono nell’angolo più nascosto e più riparato…
Siamo predisposti a comunicare verso l’esterno in modo serio ed equilibrato?

7)
in EMAS il miglioramento deve essere caratterizzato dal miglioramento della prestazione ambientale e non dalle azioni per ottenerla (esempio: la diminuita concentrazione di COD , da 200 a 150 ppm, di uno scarico di depuratore civile rappresenta un miglioramento di prestazione ambientale mentre la serie di azioni, pure meritevoli e necessarie, per la costruzione e ottimizzare l’impianto di depurazione, magari con ingenti risorse impiegate allo scopo, non sono una migliore prestazione ambientale. Infatti, il depuratore potrebbe essere stato costruito ma potrebbe non essere efficientemente in funzione, magari perché non c’è il personale necessario oppure perché non c’è corrente elettrica sufficiente …)
Dunque, solo un SGA avviato da tempo può pensare di migliorare ciò che sta gestendo (e sorvegliando) da tempo. Se non lo puoi misurare, non lo puoi migliorare (dicono i colleghi) e la fretta non è amica di EMAS.

8)
EMAS è un modello di gestione organizzativo e non può prescindere dalle persone , whether they are Politicians, Managers, Operators and ordinary citizens or members.
We intend to involve as much as possible and appropriate, people or just want to write dozens of pages of procedures (self-glorifying and self-referencing)?

9)
EMAS is a voluntary standard and wants to be constructive element of innovation, whatever strategy the Administrator (right or left) wants to pursue.
Have you thought about what matters "strong" invest? (because the environmental issue is serious and you intend to propose a medium-term plan and not a tactical adjustments or adjustments to sob after more inclined to listen to those cries more

10)
Ultimately, you are willing to grant EMAS companies in your area a "recognition " in terms of facilitation and simplification?
We need coherent dissemination of EMAS actions point to the substance! And I think that the EU and Italy across the country look very carefully at these cases and estimates very virtuous!

Still undecided?

MiniSuperVeloxConcentrato Contest - M'illumino less ...

Torno a bomb between the busy schedule! Dall'Erasmus I returned, and I would have plenty to say, tell, a thousand conclusions to do so ... But not easy!
So I propose a mini contest super volocissimo recipes and tips that will expire at midnight on 12, the date " M'illumino less " event launched six years ago from Caterpillar , more later.
E '2 years who participated in this initiative with theme dinners with friends etc, but Radio2 the play for years (remember the voice of Rabbit over lunch before going to school at 6 years ); and then I wanted to offer a play on the same wave, but in the kitchen!

L ' idea is to first cook / appetizers / desserts / interludes / vegetables and so on and so forth with the least possible use of appliances ( burners, ovens, blender, electric whips etc.) , experiment with new types of "cooking", type in brine, lemon, etc., and also be able to recycle the energy in the kitchen: reuse water from the pasta and cook more things at once ...
E 'a particular context, and very short, but hopefully in a bit' of membership, can I? Here is a miniriassuntino:

  • end of the contest: February 12 at midnight
  • accepted is recipes ( of every type, size, even if already posted and tested ) both straight for saving cooking, without too much trouble!
  • the aim is to bring some 'energy saving in the kitchen: we accept the use of the fridge (because it's always stuck ) and fires (in moderation ), but not all: the real keyword is alternative energy: sbizzarritevi
  • Sprinkle a little 'voice:-D to join the contest just post the logo with the link!
In any case, I advise you to subscribe M'illumino to less formal than that of Caterpillar true, it's simple and quick and it's a great opportunity to spend a different evening with an eye about saving energy and recycling:-D!
Spread the voceeeeeeeee!!
A big kiss to everyone and very soon ( few days, I start to be present in a somewhat 'more consistent! Wait! )

EMAS VALLEY BIODIVERSITY CEMBRA

The experiences of EMAS in two small towns of the Val di Cembra have come at a good point and, although they are not yet registered to EMAS, the conclusion of the validation phase of the Environmental Statement by the verifier, and allows some assessment of the first partial budget.

The City of Sover stands for the precise and accurate determination of "show" the ability to manage the forests in its territory (PEFC certified forests as most of Trento) starting from the sales stage "standing" of the trees because this way the territory is likely to essere più tutelato (diminuzione dello scarto, costruzione vie di accesso a minore impatto). Il tutto da comunicarsi in modo efficace ai Clienti a valle: anche questo è un servizio alla Cittadinanza.




Il Comune di SEGONZANO ha utilizzato lo strumento dell’EMAS per pianificare, con tempi e modalità certe, le principali attività con impatto ambientale, quali la gestione dell'ACQUA (risorsa preziosa anche per questo territorio), dei RIFIUTI e della manutenzione degli EDIFICI PUBBLICI.




Beautiful relationship with the people: direct and clear!
A photograph on the first day of school, the Mayor meets the children in his office for a friendly greeting that becomes, in the following days, the fun and confident "Hello Mayor!" Of children to their first national.

Humanity and the direct contact that is breathed in these places should be better known and enjoyed by all.
Even "our" world EMAS needs this heat and this sense of civic duty, sometimes lame. Really

: CONGRATULATIONS!

Among the innovations introduced by the EMAS Regulation III, point out the obligation imposed on the part of EMAS organizations to pay attention to the issue of BIODIVERSITY ' and therefore the need to measure the area built by the indicator-square meters (m2).

This new "measure" requires all EMAS to deep reflections that are no doubt very different depending on the type of organization, as well as its extension.

The biggest impact I think is expected in the government of the territory and therefore in EMS EMAS of public bodies, such as a municipality or a province. In practice, we would have to wait for such environmental requirements are been included in the PRG or Structural Plan or PTCP or other land management tools , to demonstrate what the extent of the territory of what will be built and still available for future generations.
But the new Environmental Statements will bring a new and challenging message?

For now I like to remember the example of a municipality to another is not registered nor certified ISO 14001 and EMAS, sensitive to the protection of the territory.
It 's the City of Cassinetta Lugagnano , which won the National Association virtuous community, in the category 'land management', for having approved a Municipal Structural Plan at zero growth, and that experience is an absolute first of its kind in Italy (for more details see also http:// www.comunivirtuosi.org ).

If you know of other situations "virtuous" or otherwise alert and "measured", tell. Thanks

APO EMAS EMAS SOLOFRA







The district Solofra shows care and sensitivity to the environment
( www.distrettosolofra.com ).

In July 2009 he received the recognition of Homogeneous Production Area (APO EMAS) EMAS by the Committee.

is the attainment of a prestigious award that was initially difficult to imagine but that, by the wise and effective intervention Implementing body, ie the Chamber of Commerce Avellino, and the active participation of Organizing Committee (formed by Regione Campania, Provincia di Avellino, ARPAC, Sarno Basin Authority, Municipalities of Solofra, Montoro Superiore, di Montoro Inferiore and Serino, Consorzio ASI, representatives of businesses and unions ), allows the definition of a path of improvement of land for the benefit of citizens and businesses.
This commitment, which is periodically validated by an external institution accredited by the EMAS ( Bureau Veritas), must show evidence of progressive improvement for the benefit of the territory.

The recent audit (January 2010) has occurred then the validity of certain actions and commitments stated in the future but also the practical management of the current critical locations such as: air pollution •
;
• pollution wastewater;
• disposal of hazardous waste;
• management of fire hazards.

It 'definitely a challenge for all of the need to pursue the improvement expected in the coming years should only be done through a systematic, not improvised or hiccups and witnessed the events, time-definite and supported by measures of environmental performance.


Among other actions, we note the commendable actions of some employers who voluntarily adhered to the guideline of the Environmental Quality Mark, which requires compliance with some "simple" and demanding requirements that must be checked by competent staff of the Chamber of Commerce Avellino ( Trustees of the Mark ). The answer, after a moment of reflection, the response has been confident of a small group of companies, most innovative and eager for new markets, which could bring the brand, a concession to use the AV Chamber of Commerce, already at next fair in Hong Kong in March 2010 , where there is a niche reserved for environmentally friendly products ( http://www.fashionaccess.aplf.com and then SustainableWorld ).

Greetings to you who represent the reality of the challenge of green-economy !

path obviously does not end there: the stated commitment by all public and private institutions requires the progressive implementation of effective tools, ascertainable by third and really appreciated both from individuals and from customers.
So the focus will be on increasing PA on the tools of government land (eg: planning and monitoring in the field by the competent authorities) and the companies for the gradual extension of use of the eco-environmental and then environmental certification ISO 14001 and EMAS.

The world of environmental certification is watching with interest, wait a few legitimate questions, but also profound prediction: soon for new updates to the project.
