Nature nourishes us and encourages us to live. We are confronted with nature every day, and it is increasingly necessary to strike a balance between the anthropomorphic presence and the sustainability of the world.
The United Nations launched the 2030 Agenda, which contains the Sustainable Development Goals: global guidelines to support sustainable development that benefits people and curbs the catastrophic effects of CO2 emissions. Emissions that cause temperature rises and consequent atmospheric disruption, with all the negative impacts that are no longer negligible as they directly affect the daily lives of every world citizen.
The Sustainable Development Goals are a call to action by all countries - poor, rich and middle-income - to promote prosperity while protecting the planet. The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, in order to support the UN project, has promoted the New Green Deal, the European Green Pact to implement strategies to turn Europe into the first climate neutral continent by 2050.
Implementing this will require the joint effort of every single inhabitant of the planet, and businesses will also have to play their part.
With this itinerary, we want to pay tribute to those businesses that are most closely linked to the concept of sustainability and/or that work directly in symbiosis with natural elements to create creative works and crafts.

Cos'è OVA? Un orto inteso come attività agricola, ma anche una fattoria didattica con gli animali per visite che interessano soprattutto i bambini, sia con le famiglie che con la classe. E poi spazio all'aria aperta, per un pranzo nel verde fuori Firenze ma a due passi da Firenze.
A habitat is an ecosystem consisting mainly of plants, soil and water, carefully constructed and enclosed within a glass container.
You may have heard of them as biospheres or terraria. In any case, it requires very little maintenance and provides for its own sustenance.
In the workshop in Florence, small bottled forests are made every day, perfect for bringing a bit of wild nature into the home or office!
