The fight against global warming part of the household every day. It is convinced that the European Parliament yesterday approved new rules to produce more efficient appliances in terms of energy. Through a voluntary agreement with the household appliances industry (manufacturers of computers, stereos, washing machines, air conditioners, heaters, etc) Europe is trying to make it less power hungry future applications. According to the EU Commission, the new rules could save 180 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions by 2010, a result that would help the EU reach its Kyoto targets for reducing pollution responsible for global warming. Directive - which will be implemented in 25 Member States since 2007 - will also help consumers save on their bills.
Too bad that the promotion di una tecnologia più pulita avvenga solo attraverso accordi volontaristici. “E’ il principale difetto della nuova legge – ha commentato Stephen Singer, capo della unità europea del WWF sulle politiche climatiche ed energetiche – Accordi su base volontaria e il rifiuto di un processo di verifica indipendente sulla loro esecuzione sono niente di più che un incentivo per i produttori a realizzare le innovazioni richieste, e fanno male alla protezione del clima”.
