's view that the common problems associated with oil and global warming can be solved only from above, by our governments or international institutions like the UN .
We were wrong! problems we can solve them only us ordinary citizens and consumers, radically changing our habits and thus inducing the various economic sectors to elaborate new systems of cultivation, production and distribution.
An example is described in the post of Eco Alfabeta purchase of organic vegetables delivered each week directly from the manufacturer at home.
Alfabeta Eco sums up 8 points, the benefits obtained in this way: - comes from farming, which does not use fertilizers and pesticides, fossil or other treatment agents.
- is part of a short chain, very short indeed, since It is collected in the morning, walk a few dozen miles and reach the recipient shortly after. There are no middlemen.
- are not used disposable plastic bags and baskets are continually reused.
- just a half can deliver the vegetables to a number of people do not have to mobilize other cars.
- The vegetables must be washed, cleaned and cooked, which stimulates the manual work and culinary creativity and eliminates the use of frozen vegetables.
- There is no waste because the amount is right for the weekly number of eaters, so do not throw anything.
- The manufacturer does not intend to deliver the vegetables over a distance its fields and does not intend to grow its business much beyond its current size, which are those of a family business.
- The vegetables are always varied, fresh and delicious, very hearty soup of water and chemicals such as vegetables (fertilization with urea suggests a lot of water to the cells).
- not using the cold chain and means of transport and refrigerated, with lower power consumption.
- is retrained local agricultural land through organic farming will be fertilized only with natural methods.
- We consume only vegetables and fruits in season getting used to the alternation of the consumer flavors in close relation with the changing seasons. It gives new breath to
- a local economy that will no longer be totally dependent on oil prices and international markets.
The last point can be realized only if consumers recognize the added value of organic agricultural products of short chain and if at the same time, the manufacturer gives all guarantees that its products are genuine and most importantly, I will never cease to repeat it, local !
