BOTD: American Golden-Plover
Photo: Mick Thompson
"A trim, elegant plover. Swift and graceful in flight, probably one of the fastest fliers among shorebirds, and with good reason: it migrates every year from Arctic Alaska and Canada to southern South America. Flocks of northbound migrants, in their striking spring plumage, are seen mostly in the heartland of our continent, on the Great Plains and the Mississippi Valley; there they often forage in open fields and prairies, far from water."
- Audubon Field Guide

Carbone
Pare quasi ironico che, in passato, fu proprio il carbone a salvare le nostre foreste dall’essere del tutto distrutte dalla sempre maggiore necessità di legna da ardere. A partire dal 1600 la crescente domanda di energia per far fronte al riscaldamento degli ambienti e alla lavorazione dei metalli e del vetro portò alla distruzione di moltissime foreste europee. Poter contare su una fonte di energia, disponibile con facilità e a basso costo, contribuì in modo non trascurabile a diminuire lo sfruttamento della legna da ardere e a risparmiare molte foreste. Oggi, al contrario, dobbiamo fare di tutto per liberarci dal carbone, perché troppo inquinante (il carbone fornisce il 28% dell’energia primaria mondiale ed è il responsabile di circa il 45% delle emissioni di CO2). Il suo sfruttamento è una serissima minaccia per l’ambiente e per la salute degli esseri viventi.
