Tips to do #research on foreign #landscapes

1. Look at the abiotic elements
2. Analyze the biotic ones
3. Study the influence of humans
4. Enjoy the research experience, stick to your research plan and be ready to adapt it in case of unforeseen events, discover things unrelated to the research mission.
5. Have fun with the locals and your research mates. In the end, you’re not just a researcher but a beautiful human being.

Here a couple of photos of my extraordinary and lifetime-memorable university excursion in #Peru. Zoom in the first photo and swipe right to look at the following one.

1. Cusco and it’s magnificent, although intensely deforested, urban-mountainous landscape
2. Inca and Spaniard influence in Cusco merging and clashing
3. Agriculture and animal farming in the highly deforested Peruvian Sierra
4. Beans-Eucalyptus agroforestry system at 3+km a.s.l
5. Astounding vastity of the desertic Peruvian Andes
6. Pan-American highway cutting through the Nazca lines
7. Chilling and sandboarding in the sand desert oasis of Huacachina
8. Paracas Natural Reserve in Peru’s coastal zone
9. Artistic glimpse of the Pacific ocean
10. Colorful traditions, diverse architecture and unbelievably superb food keeping the traffic clogged-up megacity of Lima friendly, lively and happy.

Catching up with last week's missed article 😉 ✒️ 📷

❗️Sei già andato a firmare ❓

GreenMarked sostiene l'iniziativa di Figli Costituenti per ecologizzare la Costituzione italiana.
https://figlicostituenti.eu/la-proposta/

Abbiamo inviato i moduli per la raccolta firma a tutti i Comuni del Trentino. La raccolta termina il 23 ma molti Comuni già oggi chiudono e spediscono il malloppo a Roma.
Fai dunque un salto nel tuo Comune di residenza per firmare! Portati dietro la tua carta d'identità e in un minuto hai già fatto. ✍️

Non riesci a passare in Comune? No problem. Vieni al Poplar Festival stasera a Trento al Parco delle Albere. Ci saranno i ragazzi di +Europa a raccogliere firme. Anche noi saremo lì a dare una mano.
Non sei residente in Trentino? No problem. Corri comunque nel tuo Comune a firmare: l'iniziativa è nazionale. 🇮🇹

I never liked to panic about things but if she says it, I will.
If this "very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future" wants to generate panic to change the global economic system and stop the #climatecrises, I will support that and give my contribution.

However, we should also think of other tools besides panic, since CO2 levels will keep on rising for another 20 years even if we completely stop GHG emissions today. My suggestion is prayers and meditation. Pull out the Bible, the Qur'an or your Headspace app and go to the woods. Pray and meditate for our burning planet.

Sono circa 70 milioni i profughi che oggi stanno scappando dai loro paesi per fuggire dalla fame, dalle guerre e dalla siccità e che, purtroppo, molte volte si stabiliscono temporaneamente in campi profughi.

Vi siete mai chiesti quale sia l’impatto ambientale di tutto ciò? Vi siete mai domandati quali conseguenze ambientali può comportare la mancata organizzazione dei campi profughi o il mancato interesse dei paesi ospitanti? Quali invece potrebbero essere le soluzioni per migliorare i campi profughi e il loro impatto ambientale?

Questo articolo cerca di analizzare alcune soluzioni che i profughi e lo stato possono adottare.

Buona lettura.

Patience, A. S. (2017). How lack of planning in refugee camps damages the environment. Words in the Bucket. [online] Available at: https://www.wordsinthebucket.com/how-lack-of-planning-in-refugee-camps-damages-the-environment (Accessed 2019.10.11).

#Sustainability implies the future. Future generations, future resources, future development.
It implies the present because we must try to live sustainably now, not tomorrow.
It also implies the past because we must compensate for those generations that didn't live sustainably before us.
You see then that sustainability is time dependent. Could time be the key factor to help sustainability overcome the development struggle?

For those living in Mezzocorona, the Festa del Bene Comune will take place again on Sunday 27 October in #Mezzocorona (Piazza della Chiesa, 8AM-1PM). We're happy that this event has become a yearly tradition. It started four years ago more or less after our trash picking initiative in the woods. Happy that we inspired an event that focuses on taking care of the common goods of a community. What about that book about the Tragedy of the Commons? 😉
Alla Ribalta and GreenMarked will be there. Will give out some fliers for the upcoming Detox camp.
If you need more info or want to enroll come over there and let's have an offline chat!
