giuseppe_pasquali 0 Posted February 2, 2010 let me thank you of your attention with a brief quote from some interesting articles strongly linked to this photo:At the Laboratory of Biological Modeling, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, Bethesda, Maryland, United States of America, researchers found "that US per capita food waste has progressively increased by ~50% since 1974 reaching more than 1400 kcal per person per day or 150 trillion kcal per year. Food waste now accounts for more than one quarter of the total freshwater consumption and ~300 million barrels of oil per year." * Same could be said of Italy, where some recent researches have found that each year we waste some 6 mlns of tons of food (5% of bread, 18% of meat, 12% of fruit, bought in stores) and this is due to: overbuying - 40%, unnecessary purchases - 21%, expiration date - 25% ... Thanks again for your attention, ciao, Giuseppe* Hall KD, Guo J, Dore M, Chow CC (2009) The Progressive Increase of Food Waste in America and Its Environmental Impact.

je ne regrette rien 67 Posted February 11, 2010 When I saw it for the first time some days ago I was really, really unsettled.Winter, cold. A socially excluded man, eating his lunch sitting on the dirty pavement. Sitting on a bag with his belongings. It is so strong that I am not able to figure out the relationship with the woman passing by, who probably has not the faintest idea of what she's heading to.When I was a teen there was a verse of a song: "carrying her home in two carrier bags". It comes back into my mind.Rome is our city, Giuseppe, and we know where to find these people. There are really a lot.Thanks for sharing. Link to comment
giuseppe_pasquali 0 Posted February 11, 2010 no better thanks for your words than quoting the song that was one of my favorites:Streets of London" - Ralph McTell, 1969Have you seen the old manIn the closed-down market Kicking up the paper, with his worn out shoes? In his eyes you see no pride And held loosely at his side Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news So how can you tell me you're lonely, And say for you that the sun don't shine? Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London I'll show you something to make you change your mind Have you seen the old girl Who walks the streets of London Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags? She's no time for talking, She just keeps right on walking Carrying her home in two carrier bags. Chorus In the all night cafeAt a quarter past eleven, Same old man is sitting there on his own Looking at the world Over the rim of his tea-cup, Each tea last an hour Then he wanders home alone Chorus And have you seen the old man Outside the seaman's mission Memory fading with The medal ribbons that he wears. In our winter city, The rain cries a little pity For one more forgotten hero And a world that doesn't care May you stay forever young my friend,Ciao, Giuseppe Link to comment
