(ANSA) - TRIESTE, 06 OTT - Students and businesses are in the
spotlight today at the "Barcolana Sea Summit - Towards the
States General of Sustainability in the North Adriatic and
Central Europe." The meeting, underway since yesterday at the
Trieste Convention Center, focuses on "sustainability and
complexity" and is promoted as part of Barcolana 54. About 400
school children from Friuli Venezia Giulia are involved through
the Barcolana Job project. Companies such as Coop Italia,
Unicredit, and Trenitalia will be tasked with telling about the
projects launched in favor of sustainability. Today's program
also includes presenting the national results of the "Piccoli
Gesti Grandi Crimini" (Small Gestures, Big Crimes) campaign
carried out by Marevivo and BAT Italia over the summer to raise
awareness of the need to properly dispose of cigarette butts and
littering.
Also participating in the initiatives promoted by Barcolana are
students from the Universities of Trieste, with a lesson on
board Step Impianti Clean Sport One, and Udine, special
"observers" of the Sea Summit, to analyze live the organization
of an event.
This morning, elementary school pupils participated in the
inauguration of the city trail that stems from the project with
Siram Veolia, "The Sustainable City of the Future."
Until November 25, their drawings will create an open-air
exhibition along the city center streets to tell the story of
"Sustainable Trieste," as seen through children's eyes. (ANSA).
