Some people tend to worry quite a lot about the future while others seem to stay optimistic.
How come ?I’ll briefly go through the 2 main topics : scientific progress and climate
change,which lay as the cause of the division between the two opposite views mentioned at
the beginning. Let’s start by talking about optimistic people and what enhances their position
: Scientific progress in the health and medicine field. These people believe in a brighter
future thanks to the great progress we've made in the medical field,therefore tend to be very
optimistic about where we are going as a species and believe in healthier longevity.
We all can’t deny this scientific progress and all the benefits it brings to us humans but,
there is something bigger that not even the best medical cures can’t avoid. Climate change
and our environment collapsing . There is people who tend to be very pessimistic about the
future,(if there even is a future they believe in) and started to put the attention on this topic
and worry for the environment .Keep in mind that not everyone is as drastic as it might come
across and that in both alignments people might value pros and cons differently .I myself
stay somewhere in between for example. I believe that we can still save the earth and avoid
drastic changes on a global scale,but at the same time I think that we need to act before it’s
too late and that science isn’t just here to help us live a healthier and longer life,but that we
can exploit it to guarantee a longer life to our planet as well.
I hear about the town council wanting to hear the general opinion from local residents about
what they can do to improve and clean parks and green areas ,and I'd like to give my
contribute.First of all I'll tell you what parks i know : the gagetto is definitely the most popular
one and it's pretty big too. It offers beach volley camps as well as a basketball camp,and it
often welcomes many events on its area.Parco delle Terrazze is actually the biggest park
but it has been closed for 20 years and it has now reopened.It's very beautiful and it has an
itinerary of 4 km .There is a small park with some structures to let kids Play . A similar
framework to the last one I mentioned,is placed at Cittiglio basically and it's part of the
Bicycle lane . This one presents kids structures as well as a couple of workout machines.
The parks I have Just mentioned are the most popular ones and are the ones where I
always see people go. I'd like to shift the attention to the concerns around these places and
what the area is actually like. The main concern for all the parks in my opinion is that: not
only is there a lot of trash that is constantly being thrown around . What I see and that has
been revealed to be a serious problem during the Summer time is that there aren't enough
trees (or plants in general)to offer shade to people and literally 1 or none water fountains.
These beautiful spaces could offer so much more.To improve the general park situation I'd
like to give some of my personal ideas .
First: Start cleaning up the areas from the trash and place more rubbish bins! This is very
important because if we don't start doing this it won't even make sense to plants further trees
as they all might get sick and die.
Second: plant more trees and flowers. Trees are great not only to clean our air,but they
would offer shade during Summer .Also planting some beautiful flower plants would be
amazing .
Third: build more sports structures and add more water fountains.
Fourth: Advertise those places would be a great opportunity for our town to be seen more
and if we start receiving more people within the area,then the City council night finally start to
take seriously care of our parks.
