Cassandra. Frederick Sandys (1829-1904)

often in recent years sounding the alarm on the issue of the impending peak oil and its economic and social effects, we felt giving the "Cassandras". A force to hear that we are loyal to the true Cassandra, not that which is used as a synonym for a herald of doom, but the beautiful (and unfortunate) that mythical figure, unheard, just threw warnings to their citizens. We fell in love, but unidentified, in fact we have never given up the idea that at least someone is to listen and change their behavior accordingly.

The Fourth Congress of ASPO-Italy will be held in Trento, Faculty of Engineering, Via Mesiano

77 38 050 5 / 6 November 2010, R2 classroom, 2nd floor and will have a theme
summarized in the slogan: "Earth 3.1." In

500 ° issue of "Le Scienze", it was alleged that after a phase 1, in which
primitive man was forced to survive by exploiting the resources of the environment,
lasted until the Neolithic and a second in the last 10,000 years when
has shaped the world around him folding it to your needs, today
open a third phase in which growth indiscriminate as that of the previous 200 years
is no longer possible. Many environmental processes have reached a point of no return
as demonstrated by the climate issue, the
crisis of some resources, but also the destruction of natural environments paroxysmal;
this comes just as the traditional economic development would seem to many
allow poor countries to raise the standard of living of their populations
. In this third phase, Earth 3, however, need to reconcile
human presence and the impossibility of obtaining unlimited resources from the planet.
Not only do we agree in general with this analysis, but as ASPO-Italy
we ask the question of how to effectively address the many questions that start
both in terms of technological, economic and social
. How can we reconcile the need for greater giustizia distributiva e le
dimensioni limitate del pianeta? Quali tecnologie e quale organizzazione della
produzione, della riproduzione e dello scambio sono maggiormente adeguate?
Questo è l’argomento del nostro congresso che vuole entrare nel merito di alcune
almeno di tali questioni. Oltre 40 anni fa fu pubblicato “Limits to growth” che
sviluppò per la prima volta il tema; seguiremo la traccia, per quanto possibile
aggiornata, di quella grande impresa intellettuale.
Il congresso è aperto a tutti gli interessati.
