13 La buona riuscita del servizio di raccolta differenziata dipende dall impegno e dalla partecipazione di tutti. Recuperare gran parte dei rifiuti raccogliendoli in modo differenziato: è utile per l Ambiente perchè ritardiamo il più possibile l apertura di una nuova discarica sul nostro territorio. perchè riduciamo l emissione dei gas serra. è utile per tutti Noi perchè riciclare i rifiuti costa meno che smaltirli in discarica. per preservare la qualità della nostra vita e quella delle future generazioni. Stampato su carta riciclata Dobbiamo imparare a restituire alla natura la ricchezza che le chiediamo in prestito.
