For 20 years, Radio Rai 2’s ‘Caterpillar’ programme led the ‘M’illumino di meno’ (‘Dim the Lights’) campaign, which was awarded the Medal of the President of Italy and enjoys the patronage of the European Parliament. The campaign resulted in the Italian institutions enshrining 16 February – the date when the Kyoto Protocol entered into force in 2005 – in law as the ‘National Day for Energy Saving and Sustainable Lifestyles’.
Energy saving plays a key role in the fight against climate change, so it is crucial we spread the word among the EU public, while also highlighting responsible energy use and, more generally, sustainable lifestyles.
In this regard, could the Commission say whether it is considering making 16 February the ‘European Day for Energy Saving and Sustainable Lifestyles’ and complementing the event with relevant initiatives in all Member States?
