The Minister in the late morning and early afternoon visited the community, noting the quality of the environment in which it is immersed, a fundamental beauty for the recovery of the residents: “The environment – added the minister – is a great gift that we must keep as we received it from our fathers, so that our children can live in a safer planet. He tells us clearly, addressing to believers and non, Pope Francis in his encyclical “Laudato Si ‘”, gave us a strong push to achieve the great global agreements on climate. We need to focus a lot on environmental culture and everywhere we need to focus a lot on energy efficiency, differentiation, recycling and the fight against waste “.
Among the sectors that Galletti visited, in addition to the medical center, also the alimentary ones: “I visited the bakery and the dairy, I saw a very high quality and the attention to the Italian typicality. I am very pleased – concluded the Minister – may the Italian social system also bring these messages “.
