After the informative day of projects of the councilors Antonio Navarro and Marco Antonio Fernández yesterday in the Moneo with pedáneos and the complaints of the huertanos, from the formation of lefts the implementation of a municipal plan that ensures a good air quality is demanded at the same time as a viable alternative to the huertanos when managing their agricultural pruning.
The people in charge of Huerta, Urbanismo and Movilidad Liliana Mellado and of Environment and Climate Change Ginés Mirón have affirmed that "From United Left - Verdes Murcia we consider the right of Murcians to be able to breathe a clean air irrevocable. In this sense we support the claims of platforms such as 'Stop Burns' and other conservation groups that have been claiming for months that agricultural remains are managed so that they do not involve a decrease in the quality of the air we breathe. "
However, the formation considers that coercive measures and fines cannot be a solution to the problem, In the words of those responsible for Huerta y Medio Ambiente, "the garden of Murcia has more than 5000 hectares of wooded land and the characteristics of many orchards makes the entry of the podaz crusher tractor impossible due to its dimensions, which is why the orchards and orchards need a viable alternative to manage their agricultural waste other than burning. "
The municipality of Murcia, with thousands of small orchards, many of them near homes and schools needs to have a municipal plan for agricultural waste management that contributes fundamentally to an improvement in the levels of air pollution that for years We have been observing that they continue to deteriorate, mainly due to the intensification of road traffic and the lack of alternatives to the use of private vehicles.
From IU-Verdes they affirm that this plan should contemplate measures such as the installation of containers for the collection of agricultural waste or an information system to the huertanos through the municipal boards so that they know the regulations and the alternatives that exist to the use of fire as a method to remove pruning remains.
"All this should happen to our judgment by the creation of a work table with representation of the huertanos, AAVV, technicians of the city council and conservation organizations in which they explore the different measures that can be put in place adapted to the typology of the garden or if this is a small family-type plot or is dedicated to production. "
Finally, from IU-Verdes Murcia, the fundamental value of the garden and its wooded mass as a CO2 sink stand out.
They also remember that the garden and its associated ecosystems act as authentic natural thermoregulators, reducing the effects of Climate Change by keeping temperatures at bay in relation to urbanized areas.
"That's why we ask the town hall to raise its head from the center of Murcia and look at the garden and the problems of the people who take care of it every day, these people do not need LED lights or lanterns, but alternatives to continue taking care of the orchard without damaging the air we breathe. "
Liliana Mellado and Ginés Mirón finished.
