			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This week Elisabeth Rosenthal wrote an informative and interesting <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/12/world/europe/12venice.html?scp=2&amp;sq=Venice&amp;st=cse" target="_blank">article</a> for the <em>New York Times</em> about official efforts underway in Venice to persuade the locals to drink tap water rather than bottled (&#8220;City Known for Its Water Turns to Tap to Cut Trash&#8221; June 11, 2009).</p>
<blockquote><p>Italians are the leading consumers of bottled water in the world, drinking more than 40 gallons per person annually&#8230;</p></blockquote>

<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Questa settimana Elisabeth Rosenthal ha scritto un articolo molto informativo e interessante sul <em>New York Times</em> riguardo sforzi ufficiali in corso persuadere i veneziani bere acqua dal rubinetto invece dell&#8217;acqua in bottiglia.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;Gli italiani sono i consumatori principali nel mondo dell&#8217;acqua in bottiglia, bevendo più di 151.6 litri per persona annualmente&#8230;&#8221;</p>

<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Questa settimana Elisabeth Rosenthal ha scritto un articolo molto informativo e interessante sul New York Times riguardo agli sforzi che il Comune sta facendo per persuadere i veneziani a bere acqua di rubinetto invece che dell&#8217;acqua imbottigliata.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Gli italiani sono i principali consumatori nel mondo di acqua imbottigliata, con una media annuale procapite di più di 150 litri&#8230;</p>
