The video was made in the Endesa wind park in Poggi Alti, and aims to show how the wind industry can blend in with the countryside and exist alongside conventional technologies. The renewable resources, admittedly have an impact on the environment, but they do not produce radioactive waste that has to be kept safe for centuries, and they will not result in irreversible change. Worldwide greenhouse gas emissions must be greatly reduced by 2050, and the only means of reaching this aim is to start a “clean energy revolution”, based on efficient-energy measures and the rapid development of renewable resources. The sun’s photovoltaic energy is a medium/long-term solution, but today we have to concentrate our efforts on wind energy.

His photographic work has been the subject of several personal and collective exhibitions, and as an executive member of RAM he has been active in promoting Sustainable Tourism and worked with GREENPEACE.
“It has been extremely important for me to work with Greenpeace on this project; the effects of climate change are a worldwide environmental priority at the top of agenda of all international conferences. We must move now with all possible determination if we are to stop the effects from becoming irreversible. Through the cinema, people can be made aware of the problem and guided towards a culture that cares for and respects the environment.”
