to win if it bears a basket enter the museum free

Comune e Publiambiente insieme lanciano un progetto e un concorso: dopo 50 acquisti con la sporta in omaggio biglietti per visite ai musei della zona.

Con l'avvio della raccolta differenziata dei rifiuti "porta a porta" l'amministrazione comunale di Vinci, insieme a Publiambiente, ha sentito l'esigenza di mettere in atto alcune azioni positive per agevolare la riduzione dei rifiuti con la collaborazione delle attività commerciali.
"Porta la Sporta" è una delle azioni intraprese che si svolgerà dal 13 settembre 2010 al 31 gennaio 2011.

L'obiettivo è, naturalmente, quello di ridurre il più possibile l'utilizzo dei sacchetti di plastica. Le attività commerciali che aderiranno all’iniziativa saranno pubblicizzate a mezzo stampa e sul sito del comune, gli verranno inoltre consegnate una vetrofania ed una locandina quale riconoscimento di adesione alla campagna oltre alle "sporte" che dovranno distribuire ai clienti.

La sporta è di tela ecologica, prodotta con plastica riciclata e juta leggera e ripiegabile, può essere facilmente portata dietro e utilizzata tutte le volte che ce ne sarà necessità.

La borsa sarà inoltre corredata di un depliant che spiega le modalità dell'iniziativa e di una tessera dove sarà apposto un visto dai negozi aderenti ogni volta che i clienti utilizzeranno la "sporta"; al completa mento della tessera (50 visti) il possessore lo comunicherà all'ufficio Ambiente del Comune ed avrà diritto al biglietto di accesso per tutta la famiglia ai Musei del circuito "Le Terre del Rinascimento" (che comprende la visita dei musei pubblici dei Comuni di Vinci, Empoli, Montelupo Fiorentino, Capraia e Limite, Cerreto Guidi e Fucecchio).

Il premio verrà consegnato nel mese di febbraio 2010 in una cerimonia pubblica organizzata dal Comune alla presenza del Sindaco, del Presidente di Publiambiente e della stampa.

Nel frattempo sono state spedite 70 lettere ad altrettante attività commerciali per aderire al progetto. Quattromila le sporte available: a lot, considering that families residing in the territory win are 5,500. Non-residents can still participate in the competition: the invitation is addressed primarily to the citizens of neighboring communities. Adapted from

It was concluded today in the U.S. on Sunday, August 22 " Weekend Without Oil" a 'initiative aimed at young people but open to all to realize how our styles of life and consumption are related to the use of oil.

when the teaching of religions?

Articoli e servizi sull'ora di religione in rete ce ne sono a bizzeffe.
L'intenzione, era, molto sommariamente, quella di scrivere un post proponendo l'ora di religione NON ovviamente di stato, ossia cristiano-cattolica, bensì un momento di conoscenza delle religioni del mondo nella storia; ma neppure qui, niente di troppo nuovo, considerando la mole di materiale riscontrato on-line (e non solo).
Uscendo, dunque, decisamente sconfortato da questa ricerca, avevo quasi deciso di demordere, quando mi sono imbattuto nell'ultima parte del libro che stavo terminando.
Lì ho trovato ciò che difficilmente avrei potuto scrivere da solo o however, certainly not in a manner so clear and incisive (characteristic of prof.Cacitti, author of the above) both their expertise and culture with a capital.
The book in question is the excellent "Survey on Christianity" by Augias-Cacitti, after which the professor gives free rein to his thoughts concerning the issue of school teaching of religion (or religions) in my opinion a small gem (among many of the same author) in an increasingly chaotic world of thoughts, unfortunately, more often than not copies of copies of copies that really adds very little.
I have therefore decided to bring it back in full (I hope that the prof.Cacitti Augias me I want to) considering that this is enlightening

[...] Anyone who plays in college history teacher in the profession of religious belief agree in opinion concerning the almost total lack of preparation with which students arrive in our classrooms.
This is not a downturn, another question for its systematic recurrence, but the emergence of an objective fact: No one in the front training of these students, taught them, but only in one of its manifestations, religious history.
Ideally, a teacher may have touched on these very sensitive issues in the performance of programs of letters, history, philosophy or art, but the religious phenomenon in itself is not considered to be covered in the didactic of our country.
This is a serious and no longer tolerable fault of our education system, in which - under the agreements governing the relations between the Italian Republic and the Holy See - the teaching of religion, called the "teaching of the Catholic religion," is disposed of by the state and contracted to the Roman Catholic Church in all schools of all levels, with the exception of the university.
It is up to each diocesan ordinary formulation of programs, teacher recruitment, and even the vigilanza sulla condotta privata di questi ultimi, per cui, se essa viene ritenuta incompatibile con la morale cattolica, il docente può venire rimosso.
Al di là degli aspetti giuridici della situazione - la Costituzione garantisce, all'art. 33, che «l'arte e la scienza sono libere e libero ne è l'insegnamento», mentre spetta allo Stato dettare «le norme generali sull'istruzione» -, l'insegnamento della religione cattolica si configura come l'estensione in ambito scolastico della catechesi di quella Chiesa, garantita, al pari di ogni altra forma di fede religiosa, dall'art. 19 della Costituzione stessa.
Qui sta il punto: ovviamente, se nessuno contesta questo diritto costituzionale, ciò che appare del tutto indebito è che la catechesi confessionale si sostituisca all'insegnamento pubblico, poiché la prima deve conformarsi a un sistema teologico (il dogma), l'altro è, come sancito nella Carta fondamentale, assolutamente libero.
Che non si tratti di sottigliezze lessicali possiamo constatarlo con un esempio: di fronte alle attestazioni evangeliche secondo cui Gesù aveva quattro fratelli e alcune sorelle (Mc 6,3, Mt 12,46, Gv 7,3, At 1,14), il docente di religione può, in buona e formata coscienza, farsi persuaso che si tratti di veri e propri fratelli e sorelle, ma non potrà mai insegnarlo, pena la revoca dell'incarico per difformità dalla official doctrine of the Church.
In the order, the student is free to use or not the teaching of religion for those who do not use it, however, there is no other kind of education free of religious history, unless, voluntarism industri not a professor to issue (and I've known good, valid and fans).
There is, in quest'abnorme situation, a further element of contradiction.
In almost all Italian universities have enabled the disciplines of the historical-religious context that in Italy has seen a flowering of absolute prestige, by Baldassarre Labanca Ernesto Good improvement of this situation will not affect the terms of the agreements concordatory which I refer above, you just have to introduce in the current law, a class of help Pettazzoni Ernesto Raffaele De Martino, not to mention the many others who, yesterday and today, they honor with their knowledge of science.
Yet this precious heritage of knowledge, transmitted to generations of students, remains imprisoned in university classrooms, sterile, fruitless, because no degree in these subjects may freely go to teach what they have been formed, with an unacceptable waste of human, cultural, scientific and economic.
If we agree on 'importance of knowledge of religious phenomena, it is indispensable and urgent to overcome this situation will not affect the terms of the agreements concordatory which I refer above, you just have to introduce, in the order, a class of contest of religious history, in all respects similar to those already existing letters or science or history or mathematics, and so declining.
So, to teach religious history teachers in our schools would be judged solely
as to their scientific and their teaching ability, as for all other disciplines, without any ruling of any kind: "Sooner or later," he wrote in the early twentieth century to Salomon Reinach Minocchi Salvatore "the history of religions be taught in secondary schools, alongside the history, philosophy, science.
There will teach neither faith nor skepticism, but certain facts, especially to schoolchildren will be taught to reflect on such serious matters, and to grant them all the attention, I would say better, all the respect they deserve. Instead of saying "I believe" or "I do not think" they can say in a certain way "I know" (Salvatore Minocchi, Religious education in Italian schools, in "The contemporary culture ', 4.1912).
Almost a century by these wishes, the situation has not changed, in fact, is frankly worse: even in the universities the teaching of history and religious literature have seeped into the macroraggruppamenti medievalistica or the science of antiquity, in defiance of their autonomy.
will be more likely, I fear that these disciplines at the university become more or less insignificant appendage of the other stories and other literature, rather than take on stand-alone configuration in different degrees and orders of the Italian school. [...]

Australia, voters concerned about climate change


Labor and the Liberals are "missing on climate"

A poll commissioned in late July by the Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF) and the WWF has revealed that 78% of Australian voters climate change is one of the biggest problems and who think that the choices of the parties on this issue may influence their next vote.

A particularly bad news for the Labour Party that had made the prudent (and review) than its previous one environmental policies of the central points of his campaign. Almost half of Australians thought that global warming and will have a strong influence in the choice of the party to be voted on, with high rates among young people and with a nice piece of the electorate that Labor seems to be ready to hijack their vote on the Greens.

ACF emphasizes that the problem of climate influence the vote of '81% of voters "soft"
(undecided) voters and 84% of young people (18-24 years). Pollution and climate change will also weigh heavily on the voting intentions of electors "Rusted" (rusty, that the faithful), with an unexpected 70% of liberal voters and a high '85% of Labour voters and 90% of Green voters .

The Labour Prime Minister Julia Gillard seems to pay its agreement with the major Australian mining companies and climate change and postponing the adoption of a law sull'emissions trading is proving to be rocks on which the risk of breaking his hopes of election victory . Hardly enough to Gillard the proposal for a climate policy focuses on "Citizens' Assembly" to set a carbon price, because that choice has been criticized by one of the polled citizens. Labor, if it wants to recover, will try to "reassess" his climate policy in the last days of campaigning that remain. It seems possible that Labour propose new incentives to discourage deforestation and increased funding for the "climate schemes".

The only concession to the conservative Coalition Abbott environment is the promise of investing in the storage of CO2 in soil and trees if the Liberals win the election. However, a step ahead of the absolute denial of global warming of only a few months ago.

Referring to the two major parties, Labour and Liberal-Conservatives, the ACF executive director Don Henry, said "This survey showed that public opinion is not satisfied and both parties are" missing on Climate ". Ms. Gillard and Mr Abbott are not taking climate change seriously, but the Australian voters think they should do it. " According to Don Henry "The Australians are looking for leadership to help us make the transition from an economy dependent on pollution in a more clean. The parties have to compete with each other in an attempt to demonstrate how they want to invest in clean, put a price on pollution and make clean energy cheaper. "
