Energy

Alternative and renewable energies such as wind and solar power are essential to shaping our future. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), in the last 30 years energy demand has increased by 40 per cent in countries such as Italy and by up to 130 per cent in China. How can we meet this growth in a constantly expanding global economy? Clean electricity can be sourced from natural elements such as water, wind and the sun, and from geothermal power, crops, underwater currents, high altitude winds and oceanic waves. Renewable sources are unlimited and can be harnessed through low-impact power plants, causing minimal CO2 emissions. Here you can find transparent and accurate news and information promoting awareness about clean energy and the decline of fossil fuels.

LifeGate
Many believe sustainability is becoming an urgent need, whilst others see it first and foremost as a duty. Often it is brandished as an accessory, sometimes it is used as a gateway, others still it is considered merely a credential. To us, environmental and human sustainability represent an authentic lifestyle that defines our way of being in the world; an attitude centred around conscientiousness and concrete actions. For 20 years we have operated to catalyse social change, to awaken and feed a new state of ecological awareness, to inspire and promote new business and consumption models for people as well as companies. We are the space in which education becomes determination, feeling becomes action, the goal becomes solution and result. We favour those who choose to be guided by ethical values, who respect ecosystems and all their life forms. We are on the side of those who decide to live with passion and purpose, acting to make the world a better place.
