'You might at first sight, not realizing that the your living room is an example of the potential environmental toxicity, but, on closer examination, change his mind. First, think of all the elements it contains: sofas, armchairs, coffee tables and lamps, TV, stereo, curtains, phones, air conditioners, heaters and stoves, ornaments, libraries, and sometimes tools music. Do not forget that there may be even toys if you have young children. If these components do not have the certifications that can prove that they do not contain toxic materials, the list of items potentially "hostile" is long.

The many hours you spend in your living room and the large investment that typically have done - or are about to do - show that the efforts towards a more environmentally friendly home can have a significant impact. The question to address is that of determining which of the assets in your possession can be environmentally unfriendly. If you have decided to create a living more green, it is worthwhile to classify the items currently present and to replace those that create problems to health and the environment.

For example: carpets, which also help reduce heat loss, are collectors of natural organisms that are often not respected nor man, nor the environment: for cleaning, vacuuming, sprinkle with baking soda, let stand overnight Finally wipe and a vacuum cleaner instead of industrial action which adds to the pollutants, and if you can, as you prefer natural fibers, distrusting of those cheap but full of synthetic and chemical dyes.

How to create a living ecological

compose or rearrange a living room that is more environmentally friendly is not necessarily expensive and can be a challenging and creative. It is very important to enjoy the project, the fun improves your efforts and tends to minimize the financial problems or creative. The following are some tips, but over time, we are confident you will become very good in inventing new ways to reduce domestic pollution!

• Consider buying second-hand furniture: there are excellent variety of wood furniture and natural fibers available in stores and the antiquarian. Unlike new furniture, which are killed other trees, that the fibers (natural or not) are handled and assembled the furniture used do not harm the environment.
• search for items that contain only natural ingredients : cotton, wool and hemp are eco-friendly. Or, check that your supplier uses only wood from certified forests.
• Fate alone. If you have this secret ambition and a bit 'of manual, you can buy wood or other recycled materials and build a few pieces of furniture or accessories that are environmentally friendly. You do not need to be Michelangelo to create simple furniture that are tasteful and environmentally sustainable.

Incentives photovoltaic and does not end here ...

Italy is a Republic founded on bureaucracy and the patience of those who, despite himself, is forced to move in this labyrinth of cards (absolutely anti-sustainable!), laws, decrees and so on. The area of \u200b\u200bphotovoltaic incentives is the latest victim of the typical Italian bureaucracy: the Romans were introduced by the Decree of the changes to the incentives.

would like to understand better, not technical, but as a citizen: the link from which I stole is http://www.greenme.it/approfondire/come-e-andata-a-finire-/4284-decreto-romani-rinnovabili-incentivi-fotovoltaico

'in the text of the Decree Romans, composed from 43 articles and four annexes, is gone, ..., the limit of 8 Gw, while the new system of incentives for solar will conoscibeli with subsequent measures to be launched by the Minister of Economic Development with the opinion of Minser 's Environment and the contribution of the Conference of State within the month of April. The new system will be valid for installations connected to the national grid after May 31, 2011. In any case the new decrto be determined " a maximum annual cumulative electric power of photovoltaic systems that can get the feed-in tariffs, in turn indivduate "taking into account the reduction in technology costs and equipment costs and incentives in the Member States of the European Union" as well as differentiated "on the basis of the nature of the airbase.''

on agricultural land, then, will 'can produce up to 1 MW of photovoltaic energy and use no more than 10% of arable land for production facilities. One solution advocated by the Minister of Agriculture, Giancarlo Galan, but also a dear Paolo Romani, the Minister of the decree is named, who had more repeatedly denounced the danger, in his view, of being involved in speculation in the field of photovoltaics.

An important innovation of the decree, also of direct concern to all citizens by 2017, in fact, in new buildings or for renovations, will be required to use green energy, at least 50% for consumption hot water, heating and 'cooling'. A rule, the latter, which could give a little 'respite to industries of construction, one of the areas that have suffered most from the economic crisis. The annexes, then, will explain the various steps, with different rules and deadlines, portranno requirement of 50% by 2017: in fact installations for the production of thermal energy''must be made to ensure the dual interest coverage of 50% of expected use for water heating and the following percentages of the sum of expected use for hot water, the Heating and cooling:

a) 20% when the construction and application of the relevant title 'submitted by May 31, 2012 December 31, 2013;

b) 35% when the construction and application of the relevant title' presented 1 January 2014-31 December 2016;

c) 50% when the request of the relevant title and building 'issued by January 1, 2017.''

In particular, these obligations, the text says,''can not be carried through plants from renewable sources that produce only electricity which foods, in turn, plant for the production of hot water, heating and cooling.'' Failure to comply with these obligations, said the decree,''involves the denial of the issuance of the building.'''

All clear? What do you think?
