Contaminated water


Hi to all Comenius friends, how are you doing?
We’re fine and especially because it looks as though spring is arriving already . It’s really warm today-at least 15 ° ! The sun is shining and colourful flowers are beginning to come out. This year we haven’t had any snow here in Vibo, but there has been a lot in the north of Italy. We know we’re really lucky with the weather but we also have some bad problems with the environment. Last Saturday the newspaper headlines were very alarming -  they said that it was dangerous to use tap water for cooking but even for washing ourselves. In fact some lab tests have shown that there could be traces of benzene in the water at source !! The police scientists are investigating. You know, water is life for humans, animals and plants so let’s hope the problem can be solved as fast as possible. We will keep you posted.

 
Il bacino dell'Alaco contaminato dal benzene Divieto dell'uso di acqua potabile nel Vibonese
 





VIBO VALENTIA – Dopo i rifiuti scoppia un secondo più inquietante e preoccupante allarme nella provincia di Vibo Valentia: l'acqua dell'Alaco, il bacino artificale che serve la maggioranza degli acquedotti comunali, è contabinata dal benzene.


We have posted above the headline from an online newspaper. Even if you don’t understand Italian, we’re sure you will get the gist!

Lots of love for now.
