The project, co-developed with the Ministry of the Environment, Land and Sea\u00a0Protection, aims to reduce the consumption of plastic by the average 2,000 employees and visitors that the Ministry hosts every day.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the environmentally sustainable practices put in place at the ministry\u2019s canteen, almost 2 tons of plastic and more than half a ton of aluminium were saved in 2018. This saving avoided the consumption of 10,890 litres of water and of 1,473 kilograms of CO2 necessary to produce plastic and the saving of aluminium produced an environmental gain of 19,618 litres of water and 5,681 kilograms of CO2. By installing drinking fountains and distributing water flasks to the personnel, the goal is to double the above-mentioned savings in 2019. \u201cWe are proud to launch the \u2018Farnesina Plastic-Free\u2019 project as part of the \u2018Green Farnesina\u2019 programme, which aims to gradually abandon the use of plastic by this Administration. This Christmas, our gift will go the Environment,\u201d said Undersecretary Di Stefano.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00a0As part of the \u201cFarnesina Verde\u201d (\u201cGreen Farnesina\u201d) project which sees the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MAECI) and its diplomatic and consular network committed to promoting environmental sustainability, the Undersecretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Manlio Di Stefano, and the Secretary General of the MAECI, Ambassador Elisabetta Belloni, today presented the new [&hellip;]","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[44,25,399],"class_list":["post-21969","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-eventi","tag-energia-ambiente","tag-farnesina","tag-vice-ministri-e-sottosegretari-precedenti"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21969","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21969"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21969\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21969"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21969"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21969"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
