home economics and environmental sustainability – Italian Cuisine


Nothing is thrown away in the kitchen. This has always been our motto. So here are the tips and many recipes to avoid wasting food. Password: recycling

Recycle. This is the word of the present and, even more so, of the future. As long as you want to give back to the generations to come (because we are all just passing guests, let's never forget) a planet, or our home Earth, in excellent health.

Recycling, therefore, anti-waste: a green, sustainable, circular economy. Young people ask us for this with large street demonstrations all over the planet led by Greta Thunberg; the EU has put environmental sustainability in rescheduling the future economy as a condition for allocating the huge financial funds of the Recovery Fund to member states affected by the pandemic.
And precisely in the period of the lockdown, we witnessed how our Earth resumed "breathing" coinciding with the drastic reduction of human activity. And always in that period of confinement many have learned or rediscovered how at home you can reuse foods that, at other times, without too many scruples, they threw in the garbage.

In short, we need to change our attitude to ensure that Overshoot Day (the Day of the Overexploitation of the Earth, or the day in which we have consumed all the available resources that the Earth offers us in a year) coincides at least with the end of the year in course. In 2019 Overshoot Day was July 29: from that moment we started consuming in deficit. In 2020, with the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic and the consequent global lockdown, this deadline came three weeks later and occurred on 22 August. A real demonstration of how rapid changes in the consumption patterns of natural resources are possible with immediately tangible effects. But it is crazy that it must be a disaster and not our ingenuity and intelligent planning of the use of the planet's resources that set us on the road to sustainability.
