Italian City Relapse into the Environmental Crisis
|
Picturesque Naples Bay, is no longer the recent dramatic scenery under Vesuvius, but the city garbage crisis in deep again. October 22, Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi presided over a cabinet meeting devoted to discuss the garbage crisis in Naples. Finally, the meeting decided to send the event of crisis experienced person in charge of civil protection agency, Guyana sits Naples garbage crisis resolved within 10 days. Recently, the European Commission warned Italy that if it does not pile up as soon as possible on the street in Naples about 2,400 tons of garbage removed and Italy will likely face legal sanctions.
Police to clear the way for the garbage trucks, blocked by the public, the conflict fierce
Two years ago, the Naples garbage crisis had occurred. According to local media reports, two years ago, the problems are not completely resolved, then part of the accumulation of garbage transported by sea across the sea of Sardinia to the treatment, the other part of Germany by train to deal with. At that time, developed a measure to strengthen the waste separation and recovery, reducing landfill volume, and plans to build a fire near Mount Vesuvius plant. May be after two years, the ideal treatment programs are not effective, the garbage crisis in reproduction.
Since late September, on both sides filled the streets of Naples garbage bags. Vesuvius is located around the town garbage dump near the park residents took to the streets to protest, to prevent garbage trucks from the Naples rubbish destined for landfill, because they can not stand the smell of suffocating. The local government sent the police to clear the way for the garbage trucks, hundreds of refuse collection vehicles, escorted by police cars bound for landfills, battle is quite spectacular. However, local residents young and old together into battle to prevent garbage trucks moving. In order to ensure that vehicle traffic police, and demonstrators clashed, resulting in injuries on both sides. The situation is getting worse, more violent conflict, the number of daily refuse collection vehicles were burned. Out of distrust of government, the Italian flag was also burned, the police also seized in the parade crowd of some home-made Molotov cocktails. People protest in front of the camera lens media outcry, they "do not want future generations to live in the garbage pit."
Poor recovery, poor management, inadequate facilities, planning can not be implemented
Lead to the garbage crisis for three main reasons. First, waste separation and recovery with little success. Was enacted measures requiring the separate collection of waste in 2010 to reach 40%, according to a daily 7,000 tons of garbage generated by calculation, should reach 2,800 tons, the best of times but can only reach 1,400 tons of garbage from landfill ratio is still quite high, especially in the northern region greater than the gap. Milan landfill waste now need only 8% of spam, and Naples 75%. Second, the local sanitation department to poor management. Naples trash clean-up phenomenon of the existence of layers of subcontractors, poor management, poor economic conditions, serious deficits, resulting in full-effect device can not operate. Third, imperfect matching of waste incineration facilities. According to the plan, in the vicinity of Mount Vesuvius should be classified off a garbage incineration plant, but a few years later, the planned three production lines and not really operational.
"Imperial" can defuse the crisis, the community feel doubt
October 22 after a cabinet meeting, Italy, "imperial" Bertone cable immediately by helicopter to Naples. In the 10 days he would give about 20 km southeast of Naples town back to normal order. As a total solution to the crisis coordinator, he will have to temporarily take over a team of experts, clean sanitation management, and funding specifically for town of 14 million euros in compensation, the final implementation of a landfill of today field into the woods or the park. Bertone cable guarantee, 11 assurance program before the end of the waste incineration plant in full production. Can long-running garbage problem is resolved within 10 days, all walks of life feel doubt.
Bertone cable to reach Naples, the first and in several towns near the sites meeting the mayor, made two observations: First, the new landfill will be temporarily shelved the issue; the second is immediately organized personnel to the existing landfill is causing the surrounding air and water pollution monitoring, asked for the restoration of normal social order, the school returned to normal classes. May still have doubts about the local residents are unwilling to compromise, requiring the local government does not give clear answer in the new landfill. On the surface, after the arrival of cable Bertone, the situation stabilized. But Bertone cable can be completely resolved within 10 days of the crisis, and ultimately will depend on the attitude of local residents. |
