The confirmation comes from Clara Gonnelli, a member of our District Coordination Group in relation to what is reported in the press:

protect consumers, certainly, but also educate them to consume more intelligently and respectful environment, these are the objectives which has the Document 2009 for the implementation of policies to safeguard and protect consumers, recently approved by the Regional Council of Tuscany, which allocates resources to the promotion of more sustainable consumption. Protecting consumers means to defend them from fraud and abuse, but also help citizens and businesses to understand that with small concrete actions you can reach important goals. Contribute to the construction of lifestyles on a budget of natural resources. of work. Among the actions envisaged in the document for implementation are:

agreements to reduce packaging through dissemination of products on tap, starting with an experimental reusable diapers, drinking water, detergents

increase in the market for products with km zero with the proliferation of so-called farmer's market and the promotion of raw milk on tap;

promotion of scientific research related assessment of the economic, environmental and social aspects of sustainable production and consumption;

In the new document for implementation in 2009 and the recent regional planning of interventions to protect the consumer did la loro comparsa i Gas, i gruppi di acquisto solidale, la cui formazione ed opera la Regione auspica e promuove. La realtà dei Gas in Toscana è molto ricca e varia. Visto che si tratta di gruppi di cittadini auto-organizzati, spesso non di vere e proprie realtà associative, il loro censimento è difficile così come la gestione dei loro rapporti con le istituzioni. Ma la filosofia di fondo che anima i Gas coincide con l'etica del consumo sostenibile e della responsabilità del cittadino che la Regione sta promuovendo e dunque l'assessorato alla tutela dei consumatori 'incoraggia' queste esperienze, mettendo le conoscenze e le competenze del personale degli uffici del Settore a disposizione dei cittadini che vorranno avere informazioni e suggerimenti how to join a gas or start one.
Our District is already opening round tables in this sense, as provided for in the Charter of intent, and will become available for possible synergies.
