BILL ON POLLUTION PREVENTION AND BRIGHT. SUMMARY OF PRESS CONFERENCE
"To go back to see the stars. That is also to get a taste of life, nature and seasons. For better living, saving energy and reducing pollution. I like to tell it the way of this bill. " So Nino Boetie, Regional Council and the petitioner, presented the bill of PD for the prevention and fight against light pollution and energy saving.
A proposal that aims to improve the regional law of 2000, "aligning our region with many others that are more advanced, we are the last places in Italy - said Boetie - This is to reduce the spread of light to the 'high, with no practical difference to the lighting of the streets, then no reduction of the livability and safety, but with significant energy savings. A change it does not cost anything, because it applies only to new facilities, but that would help us live better with less environmental and financial costs. After consideration of the budget, I expect that the Regional Council is concerned with the proposal. "
"It 's a proposal for common sense" to Piero Bianucci, a journalist, an expert in science: "They asked many associations and amateur naturalists, but also groups such as WWF and Pro Natura. The starting point is that in our cities, the sky is no more. Today in Torino can be seen 4 or 5 stars, and if the sky is dark, it can count on average between 500 and 800. In the mountains, then, he reaches to 2000 stars. If we continue at this rate, it is estimated that because of light pollution in 2040 in Turin also disappear from the sky Sirius. "
For this reason, according Bianucci, "the sky is now recovering, saving of resources, as well as natural ones. The energy saved will also mean less pollution because they will work less thermal power stations, natural gas, fuel oil, coal, required to turn all those lights. "
"The technology is already in the direction of energy savings and greater efficiency of the plants," said Eng. Bonata Diego, lighting technician, who recalled how the lighting systems installed for the Olympics in Turin are all inside the new standard in the proposed law: "difficult to quantify the savings, but there are already examples of municipalities in Italy (Piedmont Vignole Bolbera) that have cut electricity to more than 40% in lighting. Change the Piedmont regional legislation, following the example of the majority of Italian regions, also means helping the coffers of the municipalities in times of crisis, local finance as these. "
The law is based on five measures: where light, that steer down the beam, as lighting, lighting that is not to exceed compliance with applicable rules; use efficient sources of new generation facilities to optimize, manage the flows of light to suit the real needs.
