Non possiamo cambiare il passato ma possiamo cambiare il futuro, per il bene dei nostri figli e nipoti.
Se il Green Deal ha un senso, lo ha qui più che in ogni altro luogo. Mi impegnerò sino all’ultimo perché la via intrapresa diventi realtà.

Sin dall’inizio del mio mandato ho voluto parlare di #Taranto perché qui si mostrano in tutta la loro drammaticità i lasciti di un modello di sviluppo esaurito. E qui si può dimostrare come il futuro possa coniugare industria ed ambiente, lavoro e salute.

🧵 Time to debunk more myths about Nature Restoration Law.
Myth 1: Restoration means more protected areas & no economic activities. NO!
Restoration is not protection.
Economic activities are NOT prohibited & will on contrary benefit from healthier, more productive ecosystems.

RT @VSinkevicius: 🧵1/5 Let’s put things straight about the Nature Restoration Law:
Restoration gives Nature a chance to be the vital force we need for our future & economies.
This law responds to science’s alarming calls, seen in @IPCC's latest report, & peoples' demands to bring Nature back. https://t.co/vDT6sVgIQq

Thank you @moniquegoyens for presenting @beuc's study on energy savings at home 🏡
Ecodesign measures clearly help us save plenty of energy. Less energy consumed is less money spent and less CO2 emissions leading to less harm to our climate 🌍
