National Tuscan Archipelago Park, which is already popular among tourists is ready to become the first National park completely free from oil.
Mario Tozzi, the chief of the Tuscan Archipelago National Park, is preparing to put a proposal to vote in front of inhabitants of the Island to ensure the end of dependency on fossil fuels. Absence of fossil fuels will liberate the island from pollutants mainly responsible for environmental crisis such as global warming and increase in greenhouse gases.
This proposal also includes generation of electricity by renewable sources, switch from gas to biofuels, and increase in recycling of the islands’ rubbish and improve the management of water resources.
Minister Alfonso Pecoraro Scanio, the leader of Italy’s Green Party readily accepted this wonderful proposal without much of thinking.
If everything happened according to the proposal, Elba will make environmental history by being first Park going totally oil free.
With a hope to enhance the beauty of this Italian gem, Tozzi said, ‘It would be the first oil-free national park in Europe, perhaps the first in the world.’
The archipelago, which is of historical significance in the Mediterranean for thousands of years, is made up of Elba, the largest of the islands, – Pianosa, Capraia, Montecristo, Giglio, Gorgona and Giannutri.
This step seems promising and ready to let you experience the tranquil beauty which nature holds for everyone without asking much in return. All we need to learn is that nature has enough beauty to amaze us and need not to be altered artificially.
