Sea-watch is a German non-governmental organisation whom founder is Harald Höpper, that rescues refugees in the Mediterranean.

The idea for the Sea-watch project was born in 2014 when more than a thousand people died in the Mediterranean.

In spring 2015 they bought an old cutter and rebuilt it for use in sea. With the help of volunteers they have succeeded saving thousands of lives.

Volunteers provide them with their knowledge and skills in shipping and medicine.

Their crews consist of navigators, physicians and mechanics.

They always take journalists with them on the mission to document the situation and make it accessible to the public.

Sea-watch has several projects, one of them is the “MOONBIRD”: more than 100 refugees and migrants were rescued on Easter after they were spotted by a connaissance airplane car from any rescue ship.

Another project is Mediterranea/Mare JONIO: while some activists were fighting for the release of Sea-Watch 3, others were planning of the Italian Mediterranea sea rescue project.

The result of this work is the mission of the Mate JONIO off the Libyan coast.

Here we report from our missions.

Sea-Watch is vehemently committed to ensuring that no one has to die at Europe's deadly sea border.

In view of the humanitarian catastrophe with thousands of deaths in the Mediterranean, the idea for the Sea-Watch project was born in 2014. In spring 2015 we bought an old cutter and rebuilt it for use in sea rescue. With the help of numerous volunteer activists who set up the project in Germany or who have been crew members in the Mediterranean between Libya and Italy since June 2015, we have succeeded in effectively saving thousands of people.

The voluntary commitment of many is the core of our work. They have provided us with their knowledge and skills in shipping, medicine, mechanics, logistics, public relations and much more.

Greenpeace is a non governmental environmental organisation with offices in over 39 countries and an international coordinating body in Amsterdam. It was founded in 1971 in Vancouver by Irving Stowe and Dorothy Stowe, with some environmental activists. It's famous for its direct, non-violent climate defense action, whales, the interruption of nuclear tests and the environment in general. The organization is funded by about 2.8 million donors and no-profit foundations, but they don’t accept money from the government and big companies.

Greenpeace has 3 simple rules:

-Direct and non-violent actions

-scientificity

-independence

If you respect these rules you can be part of the group of Greenpeace.

Actually the director is Kumi Naidoo.

Some of the states that are part of it are Australia, Belgium, Italy, China, Mexico and many more.

The current fleet is made up of Rainbow Warrior lll, Esperanza, Arctic Sunrise, Beluga ll, Argus and Sirius.

In my opinion I find very nice and brave the work that greenpeace does and I hope that in the years to come he can defeat, even if to a small extent the global warming. But for this to happen we have to help them too.

Greta , a 16-year-old Swedish girl, sat in front of the Swedish parliament every Friday for three weeks, to show her disappointment about the few actions of politicians against climate changing.
At the beginning, her objective was to force Swedish government to cut down CO2 emissions.
Due to her determination, the girl was invited in December 2018 to the COP 24 in Poland, where she gave her meaningful preach dealing with the situation on our planet.
She said that we all have to manifest peacefully every Friday and pressing to obtain more measures to stop global warming.
The objectives to respect were decided time ago by Paris Agreement, in 2015: maintain global warming under  2°C and  commit to not get over 1.5°C. However, not all the governments respected these conditions, and not all the citizens respect the planet: so the Fridays for future association was born.
Greta inspired loads of people, who started to protest in other countries all around the world.
The total number of people who manifested on the two main dates (September 20th and November 29th 2019) was about of 7,6 millions people.
Italy is one of the three more partecipative countries during these “climate strikes” (Skolstrejk för klimatet in Swedish).
In my opinion we all have to do our part to save the planet; we have to recicle and respect the Earth. But if politicians don’t care about the nature and keep on destroying it to make money, we can’t do anything so relevant.

Y-revolution is a non governmental environmental organisation.

It was founded by Deborah Dee Sabbata in 2017, she has proposed to Alessia,Ilda,Max and Joanna, young entrepreneurs to create a team to communicate with the millennial generation.
They decided to create something pratical that everyone can do to help:” ripuliamo udine”,a project where they  clean the streets of Udine from cigarettes.

It is a team based on values like:love,freedom,hope,reward,family,respect,equality,sustainability.

Their goals are: demonstrate with facts that our generation can make the difference,to sensitize people on environmental respect and to make people aware that every action of ours has a consequence.

Their name is y-revolution because all of them are considered members of a generation called y-generation  (from 1901 to 2000)

Their motto is: if we all improve we can improve the world(se tutti miglioriamo possiamo  migliorare il mondo) that’s because if we change our attitude,we can change the world  for a better future.

According to a new report the world’s largest polluters  of seas and oceans are plastic and cigarettes.

While government and companies  like Starbucks are trying to reduce the use of plastic the problem of cigarettes isn’t taken into consideration that much.

Maybe not all of you know that every year 10.000 billions cigarettes are thrown away.

They contain 4000 toxic substances and they take 10 years to decompose which is insane.

The citzens of Udine were really happy to see the y-revolution project ,they applauded and many stopped to know who they are.

We must help this good cause.To do it we should buy “il sacchetto del consumatore consapevole” where we can find sustainable products for our homes or ourselves care we also can partecipate  to “ripuliamo Udine days”.

At the “ripuliamo Udine days” there are usually 15 people, they collect 10.000 cigarettes.

They are trying to expand their project in Rome and Anversa.

Until now they have received a lot of awards,the newspapers write about them,the municipality of Udine invited them in their offices, the region fvg gave them a reward.

They are extremely happy and satisfied because many people are becoming more conscious and are changing their actions.

In my opinion this project is unbelievable, these young entrepreneurs are fighting for a better world and a better future.

I think that everyone should help this good cause, we are talking about our earth.

Our politicians are spending billions of €/$ to go to other planets, but how can we live on another planet if we don’t treat ours well?
I‘ve interviewed Ilda Ceka, a member of y-Revolution Team, I asked her a few questions about this project.

The WWF was founded in 1961, the organization’s first seat was in Morges, Switzerland, and was transferred to Gland. In 1968 it changed its name to World Wide Fund for Nature, which still has except in the USA and in Canada. The change of the name has extended its objectives, as well as the protection of animals, also to the issue of global warming.
The WWF logo is the design of a giant panda, it was chosen by Peter Scott, since then it is the animal symbol of the nature conservation. The panda represented is Chi Chi: a panda Who was transferred from the Pechino zoo to London, and was the only giant panda in the West.
The mission of WWF is to stop the degradation of the environment on the planet and to build a future in which man and nature can live together in harmony. To achieve this objective the organization must:
1. Preserve the biodiversity

UNICEF is one of the biggest and most important charity organizations of the world. Its name is an acronym for United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund.

It was created in 1946 by the UN (United Nations) to help children in countries devastated by World War II. Nowadays, UNICEF is still following that mission: trying to help as many children as possible, to give them a better life.

UNICEF concentrates on areas, over 190 countries, in which a small quantity of money can have a significant impact on the lives of the most unfortunate ones.

It supports immunization programs for childhood diseases and programs to prevent the spread of HIV / AIDS; it also provides funding for health services and educational facilities.

UNICEF has established some goals to achieve during next year, 2020, that are: provide help to more counties, help more children and hope to collect more money.

Its activities are financed by both government and private contributions. In fact, you can donate by making a phone call or sending a text message, even a small donation can help.

I personally think that UNICEF, and every other charity organization, is doing an extremely important job. Without them, we would be loosing lives: I am really grateful to see that there are still a lot of people that care about each other.

Friuli Mandi Nepal Namastè is a charity organization founded by Massimo Rossetto in 2005 and consists of a group of about 700 volunteers. The purpose of the association is rise found to build schools and hospitals in Nepal. The first project began in 2005 when the association decided to support the school financially.

To help the organization you can buy calendars, donate some money or you can also adopt a child long distance to pay the education for a kid. I interviewed the vice president of the association, Stefano Toscani, and I asked him five questions about the ONLUS.
