In Italy a bad air and pulls in its literal sense: the final dossier Legambiente ("airsickness City 2011") denounces excessive presence in Italy of fine particles, mainly the ones caused by urban transport. And follow-up campaigns and green, these days, abound. They range from classic ecological Sundays, designed to stop the traffic of private vehicles to public transport, to eco-responsible mobilization mold more unusual.
As the recent flash mob "Be Active Be A Tree", which took place last Saturday in Milan. In Piazza Duomo, over 600 people animated by the desire to express their desire to "breathe" and to defend itself from the damage of nitric oxide, have come together to create a performance: all together create a human tree.
But individual efforts aside, what can be done on a daily basis to limit the presence of smog, or even to defend it? To begin with, as the largest source of fine particles are the means of urban transport, you can opt for the 'cycling. Keep in mind even to travel: those who need some ideas take a look at the site "Traveling by bike." Or, you can go to the bookstore and buy some guides, such as that developed by Maurizio Villa: "What's your country? Around the World by Bike" (Aquarian Age Publishing).
Also interesting for those who, pushed beyond the green, you get tired of the mass tourism and desire and pleasure of "self-transported" in a completely new adventure, able to enjoy scenery and routes a different perspective and a slower pace and human. The book also details practices such as travel time and mileage for each single tract.
Not be underestimated, then the chances of saving-related travel by bicycle using the "warmshowers" exist where the host is given free accommodation (including a nice hot shower) for cyclists. Where? Practically all over the world. Info and contacts on the site. And if in the meantime feel like a bike change and opt for a newer model, it should be out on a jump Eicma, the annual fair dedicated to the cycle and motorcycle.
That in addition to presenting news and previews, offers - thanks to the section called "The Green Planet" - an area dedicated to clean mobility. The next edition is scheduled for the autumn (8-13 November). As always, in Milan. Smog does not result, certainly, but also smog from which to defend themselves: the battle green moves in both directions.
So, beyond the obvious attentions of templates or (how to avoid jogging in busy areas) and what can help protect us from the fine? "This is the question that comes to ask, but to define useful everyday gestures and rules to deal with the problem, it would be more useful to ask how the smog does so harmful to our body and our skin, which is what it takes in communication with the surrounding environment, "says dermatologist Mariuccia Bucci.
"Too often - says the expert - you think of smog as a powder that is deposited on our skin and dirty: in fact, its effect is deeper. Smog increases the production of free radicals in the skin at the expense of more exposed areas (face, lips and hands). So, more simply put, accelerates the aging process of those parts of the body.
How to thwart or slow this trend? Taking and implementing - through supplements and topical products, but also from the same power - anti-oxidants and substances that can aerate our skin. " So, to begin by vanity case and cosmetic bag, green light foundation, cocoa butter and hand creams.
"All these cosmetics, in addition to a moisturizing, is a sort of barrier between our skin and the air and help us to absorb less fine particles. All the more so when they contain substances with anti-radical action. " And the gentlemen, because they can not rely on the effect of the shield, make up, how can they defend themselves? "Through the use of creams: now even the male cosmetics has lots of useful products in this way." Attention instead to lend his companion cream: to each his own.
"Men have a seborrheic skin, thus necessitating the formulation of more specific products, lighter" adds dermatologist. So how can you protect your skin from the smog, so you can protect your hair. "They are useful balancing packs and masks. Or creme rinse-free, film-forming effect: it may also be applied to dry hair and help to repair hair from external aggressions, "concluded Bucci.
So, recapping some anti-smog strategy, yes to transport and eco products and food-based antioxidants (especially fruits and vegetables). Now, however, do not panic. The daily struggle to fine dust and, more generally, any form of pollution, you can lead without alarmism: to secure a book just released in Italy for Sonzogno Publisher: Sleeping naked is green, "366 tips for living" bio (and fun) every day of the year, Vanessa Farquharson.
Between humor and lightness, the author tells the story of a girl who will introduce each day requires a change in their economic existence. And it does so without ever losing his smile. Indeed ...
