Confirmation Of Volunteering Work

wonderful nature .... Stick to it!

I like reading and sometimes I hardly read a book in one breath.
It happened to me today, "Crystal River" by Sergio Bambarén, a writer who appreciated for his sensitivity, which can be perceived since the cover, below where the title is his quote: "We are the Nature. Learn to read his mood swings and learn to read yourself, "then once you've finished the book, his final quotation reads: "Treasure every sunrise, every raindrop that touches the skin, the feeling of sand between your toes ... Take the time to always stay in touch with nature, because nature is not governed by the laws and traditions . Nature is, and that's it ... "
not want to tell the story of this beautiful book, but think about what gives us the wonderful nature around the world and although we are aware, we still do not respect and sometimes fear it and destroy it . I love
any natural environment, from the sea to the mountains and going up to them I learned to know and respect the flora and fauna.
I had the chance to snorkel in the lagoons Maldives and short skin diving in the Indian Ocean, where I learned, thanks to the marine biologists who accompanied us, not to fear the many fish that we are portrayed as dangerous predators. I still vividly in mind the memory of the feeling of peace and total relaxation in the snorkel surrounded by schools of colorful fish, surgeon and angelfish, butterfly fish, different types of trigger fish, parrot fish el'emozionante meeting with big red grouper, the beautiful wrasse, schools of barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, moray eels and large manta rays encountered in the open ocean, when dropped in apnea a few feet below the surface, I passed by as much curiosity as gentle and elegant in their movements, despite their size.
The same feeling of peace when I find her hiking, where the effort to reach the summit is overwhelmed by the pleasure of living in nature, in her sweet sounds and exciting encounters with the animals that inhabit the mountains, marmots, chamois, ibex and when you look up to heaven to see an eagle.
In recent years I have noticed that there's less and less respect for nature by people who go to sea and mountain areas, leaving trash on beaches and along the paths without considering the great damage that this causes their act, as well as deforestation to build residential and tourist facilities close to ski areas or near natural beaches until recently protected.
time ago, walking on the pedestrian and cycle track to Livigno (So) I saw a little house with a beautiful writing, intrigued by this quote, I researched the web who had written and I found the text that should give pause to everyone:

When the last tree has been felled, the last river poisoned
,
the last fish caught,
you will find that you can not eat money.
Our land is worth more of your money.
It will last forever.
will not be destroyed even by the flames of the fire.
While the sun shines water flow,
will give rise to humans and animals.
You can not sell the lives of men and animals;
was the Great Spirit to bring this land

and we can not sell because they do not belong to us.

You can count your money and you can burn it at a time when a bison head fold, but only
the Great Spirit knows how to count the grains of sand and grass
of our land.
As a gift to you we give all we have
and you can take with you, but the earth never
.

EVER 'attacks on our Christian roots.

The Crucifix not be touched, so are all the Christian symbols that are more than 2000 years in our country. I think this thought is shared by many, whereas that have already been successfully promoted by the Northern League and PDL collected signatures against the ruling of the Strasbourg Court.
Leave aside for a moment the religious symbols and talk about integration, what many call the Italians to help against many non-EU nationals or not, who want to live in Italy.
Well I think that integration is not an issue of the Italian people, but those arriving in the beautiful country together with their family with the intention of finding a regular job and to study their children.
As we in the West we respect the religious symbols of the countries we visit for tourism should, subject to often strict rules of conduct for not going into conflict with the religious beliefs of the people who host us, should do likewise, and especially those who come to Italy to live without no claim to flaunt, as often happens.
Having said that, from an Italian citizen and Christian do not accept that someone who claims to have uplifted the crucifixes from classrooms, hospitals and public places, and I admire the Mayor of Ostra Vetere (AN) Mr. Bello that Massimo has issued an order with which it has ordered a fine of 500.00 euros for those who rob them and I hope that many of his colleagues do likewise.
Going on like this we get to that point? We ask that all be destroyed votive chapels scattered throughout the Italian territory and the various crucifixes that we find on many hiking trails, or the crosses placed on the peaks of the mountains, to also remove them from the tops of the towers, perhaps even changing the look and architectural make them look like minarets, to the delight of the many Muslims living in Italy?
I would not want that in a few years as we were advised not to wish "Merry Christmas" to avoid hurting non-Christians, whereas it has already been granted to an elementary school teacher to replace Jesus with the word "virtue" in Christmas carols and in many elementary schools have already banned the Nativity.
Unfortunately Christmas is becoming a party only consumer, so too the Advent, which begins in a few days and is considered only the period to visit the various markets, which are seen only with a grim look, no understanding religion of those who are in regions such as the South Tyrol and Austria, where Christianity is still deeply rooted.
rivers of words could be written on these issues and these days there are many open and frank discussions are incredulos to realize that there is a large group of Italians who shrugs and does not take sides in favor of the Christian roots of our country.
