The petition continues to ask the government to change the system. A 2018 EU decision is being resumed. Minister Cingolani's perplexities

Daylight saving time all year round: the petition to keep it is progressing. 50 people have already signed up

If you really will save 1 billion euros and 200 thousand tons of CO2 in one year petition to hold thesummer time all year round will have given Italy an absolute primacy. An environmental record that other countries will be able to imitate. The fact is that in just 7 days the petition launched by Non-Profit Consumerism e Chasm (Italian Society of Environmental Medicine) has already collected 50 thousand signatures. It matters little that the government has resigned and is in charge only for current affairs. The recipient of the signatures that increase day by day is Palazzo Chigi. The government should in practice decide to abandon thewinter time in the face of economic and environmental benefits. Dusting off an old provision from 2018. There is a platform to join change.org, whose signatures will be brought for examination by the executive. The request, however, must also take into account the projects included in the ecological transition, because the mere remodulation of summer/winter time involves adjustments to working hours in many production sectors.

Year-round summer time possible as of 2018

“'The initiative is gaining momentum on the web and social networks, where it is one of the most discussed topics – they say Louis Gabriel (Consumerism) e Alexander Miani (Yes but)" . The high number of adhesions collected demonstrates the interest of citizens in a measure that could actually lead to immediate savings on the energy front and benefits on the environmental side. There collection of signatures it has also found favor with political parties, which makes the promoters very optimistic. Consider that the possibility of extending thesummer time all year round already exists since 2018 In that year it was the European Parliament that approved by a large majority the abolition of the obligation to change the timetable twice a year, effectively leaving governments free to choose what to do. However, many climate scientists said they were in favour, as - add the environmental doctors - one hour of light and more solar heat would be gained every day.

the circumstance ofincrease in the cost of gas did the math: 1 billion euro less in the first two years alone. While working at consumption cut in the short term, both Sima and Consumerismo would like to meet Draghi but with a greater number of signatures. On the other hand, the relationship between the collection of signatures and the current electoral campaign is not entirely clear. We are moving in the technical times of the elections and in the event of failure to hand over to this government we will proceed with the new executive, the two organizations say.

Summer time all year round: Cingolani doubts its effectiveness

Savings for the environment and better quality of life? With the'daylight savings time all the year 200.000 tons of CO2 will be cut, the signatories are convinced "with positive consequences on human health as well as economic savings due to the reduction of the combustion of fossil fuels for lighting and heating".

An initial response, meanwhile, comes from the Minister Roberto Cingolani for which the benefits supporting the petition would not be so important. The Minister is not enthusiastic about the declining energy values, as the time gained in the evening is lost in the morning. You wake up in the dark and the day gets shorter. However, environmental quality remains an important requirement because, as the World Health Organization maintains, still today 24% of all diseases in the world are due to exposure to environmental factors. In this case combined with solar time.

  1. Does anyone consider that today everything is on twenty-four hours a day? Daylight saving time was conceived in eighteenth-century America, when electricity consumption was almost exclusively devoted to lighting Benjamin Franklin's industrial warehouses. Our little modernist minds try to pass off as current a solution conceived for the world of three centuries ago. But what animates them from the bottom is much worse, the general hatred for nature seasoned with the pride of those who want to dominate it extensively, even to the point of deciding how to measure time. Instead, let's go back to living according to reason and according to nature, reducing the summer time period to no more than four months a year or, if I may dream, abolishing it altogether. But for the short term I don't trust: the evil empire built by these wretches is still very pervasively rooted.
