Furthermore, ENEA researchers can be asked to calculate their ecological footprint to find out how much CO2 we produce in one day and how each of our behavior can have an impact on the environment and can contribute to climate change.
In the meeting “Friendly microorganisms for good and sustainable food” eco-sustainable solutions and products will be discovered, while “An eco-pillow for Poseidon” will illustrate the various eco-sustainable uses of beached Posidonia.
