Organizzatore
Legambiente mission is to denounce any abuse and damage to our ecosystem, the thoughtless use of resources and any pollution. We combat nuclear and favour clean and renewable energies. We oppose GMO and propose new life styles with less hothouse effects. We protect the land's Heritage of Art and Culture and propose alternative ways in schools to raise more aware and informed generations. We stand against any form of discrimination and social injustice and promote the values of solidarity and peace.
Our local group Legambiente Rovigo was born in 2017 and has carried out many environmental information and awareness activities and participated in integration projects that involved foreign people and local citizens, committees and other local associations.
In collaboration with other local associations we take care of the management of Parco Langer, the historic park in Rovigo city, where citizens have been able to cultivate their own vegetable garden by adopting a small part of it. We also carry out environmental education activities in schools and promote citizen science actions.
