Alcantara Gorge 15, Francavilla di Sicilia, Sicily, Italy

Several thousand years ago, the river bed was blocked by a lava flow from Mount Etna. As the lava was cooled much more quickly by the water than it would have done otherwise, it crystallised in the form of columns. Over the next millennia, the river naturally eroded a channel through these columns, resulting in impressive gorges and ravines, such as the Alcantara Gorges (Gole dell'Alcantara) next to Francavilla di Sicilia, where the Peloritani mountains end. – Wikipedia

Marina di Palma (Agrigento).

Ieri un passeggiata sulla spiaggia di questo posto mi ha costretto a riflettere e mi ha colpito profondamente.

Possibile che una spiaggia così bella sia letteralmente invasa dai rifiuti?

Sono stato colpito profondamente, e naturalmente non lo dico in senso positivo.

Se questo posto si trovasse in un diverso Paese d'Europa, uno di quelli che visito di solito, sarebbe UNA MINIERA D'ORO.

Da noi è dimenticato: le poche persone presenti passeggiavano impotenti, indolenti, rassegnate, come se io fossi il sole a vedere questo scempio: chi ci faceva correre in mezzo il cane (al mio non l'avrei mai permesso), chi pescava in queste acque in cui c'erano anche diversi pesci morti, chi passeggiava guardando l'orizzonte.

Mi piange il cuore, e non riesco a capire perché si consente tutto questo.

È solo una delle spiagge che ho visto in queste condizioni in questi pochi giorni qui.

Qualcuno che vive qui mi dice che la colpa di tutta questa spazzatura è delle autorità che non puliscono. O delle mareggiate che la portano. O dei turisti, perché in Sicilia non c'è l'inceneritore. Insomma, la colpa è sempre di "qualcuno altro", mai di noi stessi

Io penso che la colpa sia degli esseri umani che hanno prodotto, usato e gettato quei rifiuti e che li lasciano lì quando li vedono.

E quindi sì, anche mia.
