(Italian:) IL MARE- Perche' ci Piace?
Let's take a look and find out in more details. Scopriamolo insieme con piu' attenzione.
In this large post you'll learn about the ocean, how it SUSTAINS life- hence how it helps us live on Earth- but also how we're polluting it with plastic trash and other threats
and hopefully how we can help save it. You will also learn about the Voyage of The Plastiki- the boat made of 12,000 plastic bottles and sailed the Pacific in 2012!
In questo blog scoprirai il mare, come SOSTIENE la vita sulla terra, e quindi come ci aiuta a vivere- ma anche come lo stiamo distruggendo con l'inquinamento di plastica e altri prodotti dannosi. E infine come speriamo di salvarlo. Scoprirai anche il viaggio di "Plastiki", un vascello costruito con 12 mila bottiglie di plastica, che nel 2012 attraverso' il Pacifico per sensibilizzare e informare sul problema dell'inquinamento della plasica nel mare.

Introduction - what's this about? / Introduzione di che si tratta?
OCEANS are BEAUTIFUL and ESSENTIAL (very important) FOR our LIFE on Earth, BUT they are at RISK, they are...IN DANGER because of trash, pollution (smog, dirt, trash, poison), which is mostly made up of plastic trash, abandoned fishing nets and CO2 (carbon, smog, air pollution), micro-plastics and sewer waste. However, we can help! If we all work together! Then, let's all work together to save our oceans!
Introduzione
GLI OCEANI SONO MERAVIGLIOSI, e ESSENZIALI per il sostegno del pianeta, e quindi la vita terrestre, ma purtroppo oggi i mari sono in pericolo- a causa dell'inquinamanto di tanta robaccia, dalle plastiche, alle reti da pesca abbandonate, CO2 (carbone, smog, inquinamento dell'aria), micro-plastiche e rifiuti di fogna. Ma tutti- se vogliamo- possiamo fare qualcosa! In questo post, scoprirete come stiamo inquinando il mare, ma anche cosa possiamo fare ora per salvarlo. Troverete suggerimenti, azioni efficaci, e infine il viaggio di Plastiki, la barca con la stiva sostenuta da 12 mila bottiglie di plastica!
Tutti possiamo far qualcosa, se lavoriammo assieme per la salvaguardia dei mari! Incominciamo subito!
A. How the Ocean Sustains (supports, helps) Life on earth
Come il mare sostiene e contribuisce alla vita sulla Terra
FACT # 1. THE OCEAN IS THE SOURCE OF ALL WATER... ON EARTH!
FATTORE n. 1- Gli oceani e i mari sono la fonte di tutta l'acqua sulla terra!
FATTORE n. 1- Gli oceani e i mari sono la fonte di tutta l'acqua sulla terra!
The water starts in the ocean, it evaporates, forms into clouds and then it comes down as rain, snow or ice. And it finally floats back into the ocean and carrying salt and minerals.
L'acqua si muove dal mare, evapora e si forma in nubi che poi formano la pioggia e la neve. E infine l'acqua ritorna di nuovo al mare e portando con se sale e minerali.
FACT # 2 - The ocean effects (regulates, controls) the weather. It cools the land and the air in the summer, and warms up the land and the air in the winter.
FATTORE n. 2- Il mare regola il tempo. D'inverno riscalda l'aria e la terra, e d'estate li rinfresca.
FACT # 3 - The oceans provide the vast majority of from the oxygen on earth, from 60-70%!
FATTORE n. 3 - Il mare crea la maggior parte di dell'ossigeno sulla terra, dal 60-70%
FACT # 4- The ocean is full of life! Many animals live in it!
FATTORE n. 4 - Il mare e' pieno di vita! Di tanti animali!
Dolphins are beautiful, smart and playful mammals!
I delfini e le balene, non sono pesci, ma mammiferi! Come noi!
I delfini e le balene, non sono pesci, ma mammiferi! Come noi!
WHALES are also mammals.
Le balene sono anche mammali.

I'm a baby seal! Please, be kind and considerate! Do not pollute the ocean! It's my home! Don't throw your plastic in it.
Plastic trash can kill me!
Io sono una fochetta! Ti prego non buttare la plastica nell'immondizia! Ma mettila nella raccolta differenziata! Perche' la plastica finisce nel mare e mi uccide!

FATTORE n. 5 = Milioni di uccelli vivono nel mare!
Can this bird, a seagull, open a clam and eat it?
Come puo' quest'uccello, un gabbiano, aprire una conchiglia?
Simple! He picks it up with its beak, flies up high and drops on a concrete sidewalk and/or rocks!
"Hoops! I hope I don't hit that guy on his head!"
Semplice! La prende, la porta in aria, e dopo la lascia cadere... ovviamente su una superfice solida e dura...come una roccia, o un marciapiede, o la tua testa dura!! Stai attento! Testone!
Yeah! Don't throw junk, plastic trash in the water! Because it always ends up in the ocean, in addition to polluting/poisoning our drinking water and poisoning the land that feeds us! So, please, no trash in my water! because I'll eat it!... And then ... I'll eat you too! Too bad I can't chew you up into tiny pieces! Because I have no teeth! I Ate too much plastic... and lost of them!
Mi raccomando, non buttare plastica per terra, e/o nell'immondizia, perche' poi finisce sempre nel mare! E inoltre inquina l'acqua che beviamo e la terra che ci da' il cibo. Infatti, guarda cosa succede a quelli come me, che mangiano la plastica! Perdono i denti! Ridi! Ma che cavolo! Se non la smetti ti mangio tutto d'un pezzo!! Preferirei striciolarti e assaggiarti pian pianino... come un bel panino imbottito di pesci, ma purtroppo... non ho denti!
Why are you laughing? I don't look funny!... Do I?
Perche' ridi? Mica sono buffo!?! Ho solo sbattuto la testa su un pesce cane! Porca miseria!
Hey guys!! It's nice and clean here!
No plastic trash...yet!
Hey, qui si sta bene! Non ci sono rifiuti di plastica!...non ancora!
Hey, qui si sta bene! Non ci sono rifiuti di plastica!...non ancora!
Why do you laugh at me?
I'm not fat! I just swallowed some food!
Hoops! I hope it wasn't a plastic bottle?
Perche' ridi? Non sono grasso! Ho appena ingoiato qualcosa!
Spero non sia plastica!
My name is Pinocchio. I come form a family of really long nosed fish! Not because we tell lies, but because we're nosy! We stick our noses everywhere! Do you know someone like me?
Io mi chiamo Pinocchio! Vengo da una famiglia di nasi lunghi- non perche' siamo bugiardi, ma perche' siamo troppo curiosi! Mettiamo il naso dapertutto! Conosci a qualcuno come me?
I'm hungry, but i don't like plastic! to tell you the truth...
I eat it when no one is watching!
Ho fame! ma non mi piace la plastica! A dir la verita'...me la mangio guando nessuno mi vede!
What am I? A sea snail? Or a seahorse?
Cosa sono? Una lumaca marina o un cavalluccio di mare?
Cosa sono? Una lumaca marina o un cavalluccio di mare?

I just like to sleep! I have no time and I'm not hungry!
Thanks anyway!
A me piace solo dormire! Non ho tempo ne voglia di plastic! Grazie lo stesso!

FACT # 6-THE OCEANS ARE A MAJOR SOURCE OF LIFE! We get food, water, oxygen (the air we breathe), beauty and LOTS OF fun things to do! And fishermen make a living from the ocean. They catch the fish, they sell it and make money from fishing.
FATTORE n. 6 - Gli oceani sono una grandissima fonte di vita! Il mare ci da' cibo, acqua, ossigeno (l'aria che respiriamo), bellezza e TANTE cose divertenti! E i pescatori campano con la pesca del mare. Con la pesca loro guadagnano soldi.
Sometimes they catch too many fish! And now the oceans are becoming empty!
A volte pescano troppi pesci! E ora il mare si sta' svuotando!

FACT # 7 - People have fun on the ocean. They Windsurf! And many other fun things, like...
FATTORE n. 7 - La gente si diverte al mare. Fanno il windsurf! E tante altre cose divertenti, come per esempio...
People go to the beach; they sunbathe, swim, look at the beautiful bodies... and even the not so beautiful!
La gente va alla spiaggia; e si prende il sole... ammira i bei corpi,,, e anche quelli non tanto belli! E fanno anche la pesca subaquea, o semplicemente ammirano i fondali.
You could go scuba diving, they go underwater to look at the fish and the marine (sea) plants.
Anche tu puoi andare sott'acqua e ammirare la fauna marina (i pesci, gli animali e le piante marine).

FACT # 8 - WE CAN SAVE THE OCEANs- Putting into action the 7Rs...actions that protect mother nature- but we must do this right away- now- and all the time 24/7- at home, at work, and everywhere, 24/7, in order to reduce waste/pollution.
The 4Rs are:
1. Reduce products and use of energy (that's our carbon/product footprint).
1. Reduce products and use of energy (that's our carbon/product footprint).
2. Reuse all the products/items we have- before recycling/discarding them. We can make new things (for example, plastic bottles can be filled with dirt and used as building materials, sculptures/artwork, etc.)
3. Recycle all plastic that we can (those that are labeled # 1 to # 7 can be recycled- please do it! Straws, silverware, and dirty bags cannot be recycled! That's why we must not buy/use them!
4. Refuse- means saying no to plastic/Styrofoam single use-items, and/or boycott-stop purchasing/using all kinds of single-use/Styrofoam products. Items like; synthetic clothes (e.g. made from polyester fibers), plastic bags, bottles, cups, straws, stirrers, swabs (aka q-tips), and disposable products, such as cigarette lighters, markers, disposable razors, etc. We can replace all of these with ones that are degradable or natural; made from natural materials, such as fibers (paper, wood, cotton, and wool) and food- such as edible cutlery/silverware, dishes, etc.).
We must start to talk to/involve our local municipalities, in addition to schools, libraries, hospitals, city hall, businesses, county/state offices, etc. ), and kindly demand that they improve the waste collection system to reduce plastic pollution and other harmful waste from reaching the environment.
We must also contact political leaders at the State and federal government, and demand that they do all they fund environmental programs/infrastructure aimed at reducing harmful waste/pollution, and if need be pass new regulations/laws, which will protect the planet from the threat of plastic trash and all other types of pollution that are mentioned above, and threaten our existence on planet Earth- our only home.
TRANSFORM OUR ECONOMY- FROM A LINEAR ONE- TO A CIRCULAR ONE!
The circular economy can save the climate: Italy first in Europe
Italy is the leader of the circular economy in the top five European economies
By Editorial Board March 24, 2021
There can only be an ecological transition with a circular economy. And the possibility of avoiding a climate catastrophe, by honoring the 2050 commitments made at the UN summit in Paris in 2015, is linked to the relaunch of the circular economy on which 39% of CO2 cuts depend. But to achieve this goal it is necessary, on a global level, to double the current rate of circularity of goods from 8.6% to 17%. It is a challenge that sees Italy at the forefront: for the third consecutive year, our country is in the lead in the comparison of circularity between the five main economies of the European Union (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and Poland, which with the UK’s exit from the EU is the 5th economy).

FACT # 8 - POSSIAMO SALVARE GLI OCEANI - Mettiamo in atto le 4R ... le 7 azioni che proteggono la natura - ma dobbiamo farlo subito e sempre- 24 ore su 24- e 7 giorni su 7! Per ridurre sprechi / inquinamento.
The 4R sono le seguenti:
1. Ridurre i prodotti di plastica e l'uso di energia, questa è la nostra impronta di carbonio e di plastica.
2. Riutilizzare tutti i prodotti / articoli che abbiamo- prima di riciclarli e/o eliminarli. Possiamo creare cose nuove (ad esempio, le bottiglie di plastica possono essere riempite di terra e utilizzate come materiali da costruzione, sculture / opere d'arte, ecc.) -
3. Riciclare tutta la plastica che possiamo.
4. Rifiutare gli articoli monouso in plastica / polistirolo e / o boicottare-smettere di acquistare / utilizzare tutti i tipi di prodotti monouso / polistirolo. Articoli come; vestiti sintetici (ad es. fatti di fibre di poliestere), sacchetti di plastica, bottiglie, tazze, cannucce, agitatori, tamponi (detti anche q-tips), e anche prodotti usa e getta, come accendini, pennarelli, rasoi usa e getta, ecc. Possiamo sostituire tutti di questi con quelli che sono degradabili (naturali), fatti da materiali / fibre naturali (carta, legno, cibo- come posate commestibili / argenteria / piatti, ecc.).
INFORMARE. Dobbiamo iniziare a parlare con / coinvolgere i nostri enti locali, i comuni (municipio, la regione) e chiedere gentilmente che migliorino il sistema di raccolta dei rifiuti per ridurre l'inquinamento plastico e altri rifiuti nocivi dal raggiungere l'ambiente. Dobbiamo inoltre contattare i leader politici dello Stato e del governo nazionale e chiedere che facciano tutti i fondi per finanziare programmi / infrastrutture ambientali finalizzati alla riduzione dei rifiuti nocivi / dell'inquinamento e, se necessario, approvare nuove normative / leggi, che proteggeranno il pianeta dal minaccia di rifiuti di plastica e di tutti gli altri tipi di inquinamento menzionati sopra e minacciano la nostra esistenza sul pianeta Terra, la nostra unica casa.

Discarded fishing nets destroy ocean life, corrals and animals.
Queste piante, nel fondale qui sopra, sono coralli- sono delle belle piante marine. Ma
purtroppo grandi, e pesanti reti, che vengono abbandonate da pescatori, gli stanno causando assai danni!
Molti di quei pescatori menefreghisti, si
credono furbi- invece sono per avidi - per evitare il costo di ripararle- li
buttano nel mare! Altri pescatori invece sono stupidi, cattivi e
ignoranti! A causa loro danni alla flora (piante) e fauna (gli animali marini).
Delphini, foche e tartarughe spesso volte restano intrappolate in
queste reti abbandonate, e quindi muiono di fame e/o affogano. Scriviamo
e/o parliamo in persona con i nostri leaders politici. Informiamoli su
questo problema, delle reti abbandonate nel mare, della plastica che
uccide milioni di animali marini e che contamina anche noi! Si perche'
noi mangiamo il pesce contaminato dalla microplastica (piccoli
pezzzettini di plastica) che i pesci e altri animali marini scambiano
per cibo! Diventate amici dei pescatori e incoraggiamoli a non buttare
le loro vecchie reti nel mare! E infine, mettiamo in azione subito, ora! Come minimo almeno 4R (4erre); Reciclare, Riusare, Ridurre e Rifiutare (le buste di plastica che ci danno nei negozi).
Allora, procuriamoci subito dei contenitori per la raccolta
differenziata nelle nostre case e al lavoro; per la carta, la plastica,
il vetro e i metalli. E' arrivata l'ora di veramente proteggere il mare e
l'ambiente- prima che sia troppo tardi per i nostri figli. Infatti gli
scienziati predicono che entro 2 generazioni (i nosti nipotini), non
avranno un pianeta sano per poterci vivere... ovviamente se continuiamo
di questo passo. Evitiamo questo disastro ambientale globale per amore
dei nostri figli e del nostro pianeta- la nostra casa!
These are corrals- they are beautiful marine plants that make oxygen and provide a habitat (living place for many sea creatures (animals). Unfortunately, discarded fishing nets, that are thrown away by many fishermen (who think they're smart/efficient), but in actuality they are simply selfish, deficient (not smart)! Because their abandoned (thrown away) fishing nets cause a lot of damage. They rip corral heads and kill marine life. Turtles, dolphins and seals get stuck in them and die from drowning because they can't breathe- since they are mammals, animals that have lungs like us). So they die from lack of oxygen and/or starvation, since they are trapped and can't get any food! Simply sad!
So, let's do something positive! Let's write and inform everyone, our friends/families, the media, and our political leaders, and fishermen. Let's explain this problems, and other marine threats (dangers) to our oceans, and to our planet! We must ask our leaders to protect sea life and our oceans! Let's tell/inform fishermen not to discard their old broken fishing nets into the sea! Because this destroys their livelihood!
And finally, let's take action now! Start now! and as a minimum begin applying the 4Rs; Recycle, Reuse, Reduce and Refuse (say no to plastic bags when they are offered to you at in stores, and reduce and recycle all plastics; bottles, and other plastic food containers. One easy way to do this is to get recycling containers (in your home and your workplace); for paper, plastic, glass and metals (e.g., soda cans and bottles)!
We cam also avoid and/or boycott (stop using plastic bags, and other use-only-once plastics, like bottles, plastic cups, lids, straws, stirrers, etc.) and re-use/recycle all other plastic.
We must do this now, because scientists predict that within 2 generations (our grandchildren) the ocean may collapse, or die! So, we must do it also for our children, and our beautiful planet earth- our only home in this vast universe!

Why do you laugh? Do I look like a balloon? That's because I drank too much water...or maybe BECAUSE I ate too much plastic!?!
Help! I'm going to blow up!
Perche ridi? Ti sembro un palloncino? Forse ho bevuto troppa acqua, o forse ho mangiato troppo...plastic!
Aiuto! Sto' scoppiando!

E. OTHER SOLUTIONS by other Countries
SOLUZIONI di altri paesi
Nel maggio 2017 la Germania ha approvato una legge per controllare e ridurre il materiale d'imballaggio.
In May 2017, the German government approved a new packaging law which aims to improve the existing ordinance on packaging by focusing on recycling and prevention of packaging waste. The recycling targets for the different packaging materials will be increased, reaching 63% for plastic and 90% for metal, glass, and paper and board by 2022. Further, there shall be incentives for packaging producers to incorporate recyclability considerations in packaging design. In addition, reusable packaging will be promoted, aiming to reach a target of 70% reusable beverage packaging. According to the German Minister for the Environment, Barbara Hendricks, the new packaging law is an important step in the further development of the circular economy. The law will enter into force on January 1, 2019.

The recycling targets for the different packaging materials will be increased, reaching 63% for plastic and 90% for metal, glass, and paper and board by 2022. Further, there shall be incentives for packaging producers to incorporate recyclability considerations in packaging design. In addition, reusable packaging will be promoted, aiming to reach a target of 70% reusable beverage packaging. According to the German Minister for the Environment, Barbara Hendricks, the new packaging law is an important step in the further development of the circular economy. The law will enter into force on January 1, 2019.

E. The Voyage of The Plastiki- A Sailboat made of plastic - including 12,000 plastic bottles!
Il Viaggio della Plastiki- una barca costruita con 12 mila bottiglie di plastica!
By reading about Plastiki's adventure how I learned about plastic pollution in the ocean.
Leggendo l'avventura di Plastiki ho imparato dell'inquinamento della plastica.
In 2012, Plastiki traveled from San Francisco to Sydney Australia. Why? To show us the condition of the ocean.
Nell'estate del 2012 Plastiki salpo' l'Oceano Atlantico, da San Francisco, negli USA, a Sydney, nell'Australia.
Perche'? Per mostrarci la condizione dell'oceano.
This is David with his boat. He is the designer who came up with the idea of Plastiki.
Questo e' Davide con la sua barca. Lui e' l'ideatore e il progettista di Plastiki.
David and the Plastiki's crew.
Davide con la sua squadra/team.
SO, WHY DID THIS CREW RISK THEIR LIFE CROSSING THE PACIFIC OCEAN?
Answer: TO RAISE AWARENESS and TELL THE WHOLE WORLD ABOUT PLASTIC TRASH IN THE OCEAN! AND THAT WE all NEED TO DO SOMETHING TO STOP THE POLLUTION OF THE OCEANS.
Allora, per quale motivo il team di Plastiki ha rischiato la vita salpando l'Oceano Atlantico?
Risposta: Per aggiornare/informare il mondo sul problema dell'inquinamento del mare con la plastica, in modo che la gente si renda conto dell'immensita' del problema e fermi l'inquinamento.
