ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES

The project aims at raising awareness in the participating schools about environmental

problems such as pollution, appropriate use of natural resources, respect of nature, etc.

During the first year we analysed our environment from the scientific point of view as

regards air and water pollution as well as the production of garbage. In this second year of

activity we have learnt about European policies and the actions implemented by the local

communities in order to improve and preserve the environment we live in. We have also

tried to study and visit examples of good practice or relevant experiences of respect for

the environment.

We have also carried out a survey about people‟s behaviours and knowledge about the

problem, and we have interviewed citizens of different age groups in all partner

countries.

This material has been explained by students at the latest project meeting (in Balikesir,

Turkey) and is collected in this brochure to provide opportunities for comparing and

thinking.

POWER STATION NOVAKY

The Power Station Nováky ( ENO ) is located nearby the Novaky Coal Mines and the Nováky Chemical Factory in the District of Prievidza. In addition to electricity generation and supply, ENO provides for hot water supplies for heating of the towns of Prievidza, Nováky, Zemianske Kostoľany as well as for industry and other organisations and steam for heat supplies to surrounding industrial enterprises. Slovak Power Stations joint stock company’s environmental policy Slovak Power Stations ( SE ) mission is to generate, sell and trade electricity and heat safely, reliably, efficiently and competitively while continually decreasing its production process negative impact on the environment. Atmosphere Protection The largest investment actions relating to the air protection include :

building up the desulphurisation on the wet limestone wash principle on two 110 MW units at Nováky

building up a fluidised bed boiler featuring a 28 MW turbine at Nováky with the dry desulphurisation method as a replacement of ecologically unfit boilers

Due to the implementation of the cited investment actions, the production of the basic harmful substances into the atmosphere from SE sources has been constantly falling. Advantages of fluid burning :

low emissions of sulphur dioxide ( SO2 ), oxides of nitrogen ( NOx ) low emissions of chlorine and fluorine low operating cost – high effectiveness of boiler reduced water requirement

Benefits from the building up of the desulphurisation unit

lowering the emmisions of SO2 into the air of about 40 000 tons / year lowering dust of about 700 tons/ year catching the harful emissions such as fluorine, chlorine and arsenic dumping the waste and reusing it as an inferior-secondary product improving the environment by the significant impact on our fauna and flora

NOVÁKY CHEMICAL FACTORY (NCHZ)

It produces : Inorganic chemistry - calcium carbide (CaC2), sodium hydroxide,

hydrogen (H2), chlorine (Cl2), hydrochloric acid (HCl), sodium hypochlorite (NaClO), acetylene (C2H2), nitrogen (N2)

Organic chemistry – chlorinated paraffins, glycols, PVAC, etc Powdered PVC – to the production of window profiles and facing

isolating material The biggest pollution is caused by :

Chlorine – poisonous gas. Calcium carbide – its production produces tenths of tons of the waste

like calcic powder per one year. Vinyl chloride – it is carcinogen. PVC is made by the polymerisation of

it. A part of powdered PVC gets into the air. Chlorinated paraffins – they pollute the river Nitra as wastewaters. Calcium hydroxide – Ca (OH) 2 – it is a waste of production of calcium

carbide. The factory can not use it or sell it, so it is exported on the waste dump nearby the town.

Window profiles of PVC – tenths of kilograms of hardly processible waste is created, especially from unsuccessful products.

NCHZ has its own purification plant of waste-waters, which however cannot clean everything. According to an expression of the head of the domain of the natural environment, the company cannot afford to spend much money to satisfy European norms of the pollution of air, water and land. European Union is making stricter norms of the pollution. At present, according to the press, the major owner of NCHZ is looking for an investor, who would buy a company and invest bigger sum of money to the protection of the natural environment in the factory.

DISTRICT HEATING AND COGENERATION IN REGGIO EMILIA

The idea of district heating or centralized community heating in the territory of Reggio Emilia started in the 1980s with the setup of RETE 1 power plant and later RETE 2 which supply heating to the southern area of the town It consists of a network of pipes over 150km long, which starts from cogeneration station and distributes hot water at about 120°C to schools, offices, shops and families. The cogeneration power plants use different types of fuel

Coal (in the past, not now because releases particulate matter in the air) Methane (main fuel at present) Rubbish (using the energy produced by incinerator ).

After traveling in underground pipelines, hot water releases heat by means of “heat exchanger” in the people‟s houses. Cogeneration is an integrated process for the production of both electric energy and heating, which starts from a single source system. When mechanical energy is turned into electric energy, it always gives out waste heating: here it is recycled to produce hot water for the community. A cogeneration system is composed of two parts. From a single source of energy more turbines are powered directly by the burner or indirectly from the residual waste gases to produce both electric energy and hot water for heating and sanitary use. The aim is to produce as much energy as possible without wasting energy and heat during the process. This system is expanding in town because:

It saves energy both electricity and heating are produced in one

power plant it‟s cheaper because it uses less fuel for each unit of energy produced It’s safer for the environment one power plant for 17000 households, instead of many heating systems and boilers the exhaust gases are controlled frequently and accurately fewer pollutants are released in the atmosphere.

“DOOR TO DOOR” SELECTED GARBAGE COLLECTION IN THE TOWN OF

REGGIO NELL’EMILIA

Reggio Emilia is one of the Italian towns with the highest percentage of recycled rubbish, at the moment it‟s about the 45% of all rubbish produced. To further reduce the disposal of rubbish in landfills, from the 26th April, this new project has started in the district 7, north-east of the town, where there are 14000 people (6100 families) and about 900 small businesses. The project is a “small revolution” because many inhabitants are going to change their routine. This modality will replace the usual gathering with road containers by using small containers to select the garbage at home that will be collected very frequently. The selected collection in Reggio Emilia, at the moment, includes the 44.8% of garbage. With this experiment the municipality wants to improve the results. This is the average production of rubbish each year: The area for the experiment is the district 7 of Reggio Emilia, in the north-east of the city, that has been divided in 4 zones:

Area 1: Cisalpina Street, Adua Street, station Area 2: Gavassa Area 3: Massenzatico Area 4: industrial area of Mancasale

Every area has got a timetable for the gathering of rubbish. The old big containers in the streets are going to be removed. There is a phone number for information about “Door to door” experiment. This service arranges the gathering of:

Organic material (Vegetables, Small bones, Flowers) Paper, cardboard (Newspapers , Copybooks, Paper boxes) Glass, Glass containers, aluminium cans Plastic (water bottles, Containers for shampoo and

detergents, Shopping bags) Bulky objects (TV, Computers, Washing machines) Giroverde: Brushes and branches, Trimming, Large quantity of leaves

directly from houses every day or twice a week. That‟s why people must become responsible of the rubbish they produce and educate to recycle as much as possible. After monitoring the Door-to-Door collection, the result is encouraging, better than the usual collection programme: Selected collection = 59,0%

Quantity for recycling = 237,6 kg per person

The Municipality aim is to make people aware of the amount of rubbish each family produces. People‟s habit will change and they will recycle as much as possible, so that the usual unselected garbage collecting will be eliminated.

WINDMILL FARM The area we live in, Kujawy, is flat. Strong winds blow here very often, so a lot of residents have decided to use them to produce electric power. In order to enlarge our knowledge of electric power made from wind, that is one of the alternative sources of energy, we visited Radziejów on the 27th of April. In Radziejów we met the owner the windmill farm who presented us this issue quite clearly by answering all our questions. We also had a great opportunity to see windmills close-up. It is important to underline that nowadays lots of such windmills are being risen in Kujawy. We are happy to say that thanks to it our territory will be less polluted that leads to a better environment of our Earth.

RECYLING AND RECYLING CAMPAIGN IN BALIKESİR

„ A simple for now but a big step for our future‟ said the mayor of Balıkesir at the beginning of the recycling project. Although the recycling was achieved successfully before many years, it is quite new in Turkey, and Balıkesir was one of the first cities to start projects for recycling. The project of recycling of solid materials was started in 2005 in a pilot region in Balıkesir. As it is new to our town and inhabitants, the Municipality and partner companies, OZNAK and ÇEVKO, have been giving seminars about environment, pollution and how to help the project to recycle solid materials. In addition, university students were trained and they walked from door to door to inform the people, especially housewives in order to get the best result out of the project.

This project includes the separation of solid materials at home from domestic wastes and putting them into different plastic bags. Then the company, Öznak, collects these bags on certain days of the week. This company is the only registered and licensed company in Balıkesir for collecting and processing the solid wastes. They carry all the bags of solid wastes to their processing centre. The processing center covers an area of 1500 m2 with 7 different bands and 3 presses. The processing at this center starts with laying the wastes on the bands and the workers there separate them again. Therefore, wastes are separated as paper, metals, wood, electrical materials, glass, huge wastes and dangerous wastes. After this, they are sent to presses to be pressed and baled. Finally the bales are transfered to recycling factories, where they are returned to usage as a great contribution to Turkish economy and environment. With this campaign and project inhabitants of our town began to realize the importance of our wastes and recycling of them as well. To prove the arising of awareness among people, these figures will be helpful; in the first month the amount of recycled solid materials was 18 ton per month, 210 ton per year, whereas it is 3150 tons at the moment. These figures show the people support the campaign and try to help protect the environment as well as they can.

NATURAL GAS INSTALLATION IN BALIKESIR

Once said a dream, natural gas pipe lines are being installed now in Balıkesir. Although it has been used for many years in different countries of the world as an energy, it is fairly new in Turkey. Natural gas is used now in 8 cities and Balıkesir is one of those 8 cities, which is considered as a great success for the government of the town by the inhabitants.

It is not only the water and infrastructure systems that is the criterion for the level of development of a town but the presence and usage of natural gas and other more environmentally friendly sources of energy in the place. Natural gas is a source which is crucial for economy, the standard of life and for the health of people. Therefore, it is necessary. Our town is unfortunately unique in terms of the parameters in air pollution. In winter the level of sulphur and particles, which are quite dangerous for living things, are close to or above the normal levels in the air. This problem has to be overcome. The way to achieve this is the usage of natural gas. The first operation for the installation of natural gas in Balıkesir started in July 2004 with the first

weld of pipes. So far, the installation of about 500 km polyethylene pipe and about 200 steel pipe line was finished. At the moment, natural gas is ready for use for about 64 thousand homes. The target is to make it used by all the homes by making it ready for 85 thousand homes at the end of 2007. The authorities declare that it is still considered as expensive by many inhabitants, but it is just the opposite, it is quite economical and healthy as can be used for heating, cooking and bathroom. The installation of natural gas is a praise deserving action for Balıkesir, which will make it more modern and cleaner as well as more a European town with this improvement.

SURVEY RESULTS


CONCLUSION

Without any claims of statistical reliability, considering the limited number of the sample analysed and the heterogeneity of the respondents, not homogeneously distributed as sex and age groups, the results from the comparison between the different countries of the TE4BE appear rather homogeneous. The main thing that emerges from comparing the survey, shows how the environmental problem is strongly felt in all countries even if there are different feelings on specific aspects. The differences arise in relation to the different uses of the territory, the type of exploitation of natural resources and the economic and social standards of the respondents. Where there is high population density, high level of industrialization, intensive agriculture, the problems of environmental pollution are strongly felt by the respondents, as well as the low quality of life, unbearable level of traffic, exploitation and depletion of natural resources. However, some answers lead to think of some environmentally unfriendly privileges, and the difficulty to decrease them, even though people are aware that they definitely cause pollution (e.g. air pollution because of immoderate use of private vehicles). Moreover, in the countries where priority is placed on increasing the individual welfare, because of geographical, historical and economic reasons, environmental issues are not felt as relevant as in other countries . In all the surveys, however, people lay the blame on the local rulers both on the subject of information to citizens and in terms of operational planning; we hope that the common attitude of blaming others will not prevent all of us from a deep self-examination about changing our lifestyle towards a real respect for the surrounding environment. This is one of the purposes of our project.
