A new integrated view of the best international practices, applied to greening the planet. How to entertwine education, food self reliance, harvesting water, creating a new economy and a new social structure from which, everyone could benefit from.

1. A new environmental
policy for Nations
Green as a public good: permaculture, an eco-social
solution in the management of the climate crisis

Permaculture
“Permaculture Design is an ethically based whole-systems design approach to
landscape planning that uses concepts, principles, and methods derived from
ecosystems, indigenous peoples, and other time-tested practices to create sustainable
human settlements and institutions. Although rooted in horticulture and agriculture,
Permaculture Design is interdisciplinary, touching on a wide range of subjects
including regional planning, ecology, animal husbandry, technology, architecture, and
international development and can be applied to a large scale farm as well as a home
garden.”

Less spending,
more yield
Through the design of an ecosystem, that collects water
into the ground, enriching the aquifers, it is possible to
conserve rainwater in periods of drought, reduce the
maintenance costs of the greens, develop a new concept
of food production at km 0 2

Climate change
Less rain
It is necessary to plan the
collection of water in
temperate periods
Drought
Introduce the
construction of new wells
and redesign parks to
collect rainwater
Waterless winters
It is necessary to redesign
the "water route" in the
city, so that water is
collected in wet periods
A new urban
landscape
New water conservation
zones to allow soil
penetration
The industrial foot
step
The city re-design must
pass through a “planting
plan” that calculates the
absorption of CO2

• The city parks are arid in summer and winter
• there are no plants that retain water in the soil
• the shade would reduce surface evaporation and allow
greater water retention
• You need to collect rainwater from the roofs for which you
pay taxes

5. The solution
Harvesting water
A water plan that
considers the
international successes of
permanent reforestation
is urgently needed
Smart planting
Today you can schedule
planting with one click
Food for free
Permaculture as an
approach to growing
edible plants to facilitate
access to food

The principles of Permaculture
Focus points:
• The advantages
• Enhancing margins
• Valuing diversity
• Integrating rather than
segregating
• Getting a harvest
• Observing and interacting
with Nature

Key performance
Knowledge of the territory, data analysis, replication of successful results
Education
Short course, to be taken
also at a distance, on the
principles of permaculture
On-site visits and
studies
The entities entitled to
the cultivation and
restoration of greenery,
can sell at zero km
through agreements with
municipal commercial
institutions
Elaboration of estimates and
verification of results
It is essential to trace a
path that guarantees
rapid results and that
guarantees an increase in
reforested areas and
water harvesting

The challenge: to set clear spending targets
and to identify how to finance and deliver
Mile stones
• Thunderstorms: a city reforestation plan must be drawn up,
agile, for the census of green areas and their size.
• Provision must be made for a fragmentation of areas.
• Give the possibility to reforest the green area, also through the
online purchase of the varieties to be planted.
• Provide for the possibility of 'participating' in the purchase of
projects; the municipality can 'sell' a project to citizens; We
finance change "even from the couch“
• We facilitate private reforestation
Costs
• Determine the average cost of reforestation, per reference unit
of measurement (hectare, acre, sqm ...)
• Determine the cost of reforestation for the city and per capita
• Define the feasible projects, through calls and / or, expressions
of interest, proposals for free loan for use or other technical
solutions to be evaluated
• Give the opportunity, in "crowd founding" mode, to see the
redevelopment of parks carried out and zero costs for the
municipality, creating work through ecological maintenance of
the green
• Plan and activate incentives for the collection of rainwater from
city roofs and a redirection in parks, for the construction of new
green oases 18

URP, Costs, Timing
Urban Reforestation Plan
(URP)
• How much green needs to
be planted

activities in case of absence
of interest from private
individuals
• A green budget: by
determining the city's CO2,
we can plan its absorption
and the "social cost"

Training and the new jobs of the future
Projects for schools
• Schools can take charge of the areas to be reforested for internal projects, if there is
at least one student in the school for the class interested in starting the activity
• Projects as multiplier tools for the dissemination of knowledge within institutions
• Unifying function (contrast to bullying)
• Spreading a sense of community through collaborations between different age
groups
26
Fostering a new education system
• Students participate on a voluntary basis; by merit, as the completion of a course of
study, or by personal choice through an expression of interest;
• The projects are developed so that an opportunity to have food directly from the
earth can be guaranteed and develop professional opportunities, in the care of the
green, with particular attention to the REGENERATION of the earth
• Educational spaces may be provided for annual crops
• The Teams are composed in a transversal way, by age and institution of origin. The
components of the Teams are identified on the basis of the complementary
knowledge required. Conceptual examples;Liceo Scientifico – supporto all’ analisi dei
terreni
• Liceo Classico – supporto nell’ elaborazione degli scritti per il tracciamento dei
progressi
• Liceo Tecnico – supporto nella realizzazione tecnica dei progetti
• Scuole professionali – fonte di creazione di nuovi professionisti per progetti ad
hoc
• Ecc….
• All members are involved in the activities of the team to share experiences, how to
carry out tasks, determination of costs and income; The activity is aimed at the
realization of projects that allow the start of new work activities
