“Good things to do”, the beautiful independent documentary presented in the competition Cinemabiente 2012 Turin, directed by Barbara Ferrari and Thomas Peres, talks about projects that to some might seem utopian yet the citizens of Samso do not think so.
The authors say: “Good things to do is one for us small window to the future, the story of a special place that could become an eexample of eco-sustainable development no frills, effective and cost-effective "
Seeing it, in fact, we can easily realize that, although the world is not only populated by people interested in eco-sustainability but by people who look at the economy, this does not necessarily have to be a limit, but, if exploited in the right way, it can become an opportunity.
It seems very strange to say but, as we are explained, if we stop for a moment to think, everything becomes clearer: "if we want to do something to combat global warming we must certainly be more aware and responsible, but we must also realize that we will always be someone who will not be driven by the desire to save the planet but by the desire to earn. Then create projects that interest investors, and allow for the development of the economy and that, at the same time, are sustainable sseems to be the best choice to tackle the problem. "
This is just a small drop of the mare di Samso and its wind project.
The most significant sentence that we can grasp? "If you choose to use local energy resources this will allow a better connection with the same consumption, in other words, the closer people are to this topic, the more responsibilities they will take on" nothing more true.
In fact, energy seems to be unreal, while, on the other hand, it is the most real thing that exists, at least as much as its immeasurable consumption and its basic necessity.
But the project that we are told about in Samso is not limited to wind power, it also involves theuse of biomass, being a place of peasants. Also in this case the secret is theself-sufficiency: the entire biomass present comes from the island. Three kilograms of straw gives the same amount of energy as 1 kg of oil but the straw is less expensive and can be produced locally. Here is a good way to bring people and energy together.
The journey continues up to Hjortshoj, a small village "populated by environmentally conscious people", as we are delightfully told, a place where we can discover the Finnish oven and the wonderful smoothie bike.
What we are taught in “Good things to do” is a very strong lesson: “The whole world must be ready for change but Denmark can be the starting point… that's why this is“ Good things to do ”!
Denmark: 100% sustainable by 2030, this is the goal and the start is already excellent.
