Project hosted by

Circolo Ambiente "Ilaria Alpi," is an active environmental association in Brianza that focuses on denouncing land destruction, pollution and cementification. It promotes numerous initiatives, including: the campaign against the privatisation of water; denunciations against the pollution and cementification of the Lambro river and its tributaries; the campaign for waste reduction at source and against incineration. The association collaborates with various schools in the area by organising environmental education courses with the aim of developing a culture of respect for the environment even in the youngest. Transmitting a deep knowledge about territories, environment and ecology to the children and the young people is a good way to improve their quality of life.
