CASA NATURALE – www.casanaturale.info

Casa Naturale celebrates its fifth anniversary on the newsstand by becoming a monthly, and with many new topics to propose to its readers through reports, columns and reportages in Italy and abroad. Environmental sustainability isn't just an idea anymore, it’s a very attainable lifestyle; we need only to become more responsible by orienting our choices of products and services in an ethical way. Casa Naturale helps by suggesting “virtuous” choices, often easy to apply, for saving energy at home by using low-impact materials and systems, and when making purchases, by opting for furniture made of environmentally certified or recycled wood, natural textiles, organic food, or by choosing eco-tourist itineraries that are environmentally sustainable. Casa Naturale invites readers into the world of renewable resources by covering architectural solutions that are original, avant-garde and affordable that illustrate the most important aim of all: to have a significant effect on domestic energy consumption and to limit the ecological footprint of our daily lives. Casa Naturale reports on environmental, cultural and social damages to our planet, and suggests possible and practical alternatives thanks to the input of influential personalities from the worlds of science, medicine and culture.
