After the <strong>first Lockdown<\/strong>we realised how different the air smelled from the past and especially in big cities.<\/p>\n<p>It is pointless to point the finger at anyone or anything. It is the <strong>lifestyles<\/strong> to impose on us certain tight rhythms and often <strong>unhealthy,<\/strong> that finding a viable alternative is a very complicated job.<br \/>\nWe have driven polluting vehicles out of necessity. We have unwittingly neglected recycling collections, and perhaps left a few too many lights on unintentionally. We have done so and continue to do so, sometimes even and without realising that this is deeply damaging to us.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-25927 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/donnobikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2-1-1024x576.png\" alt=\"Cities are demanding clean air and smog is not letting up\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Smog does not give up causing victims every day<\/h2>\n<p>Numerous studies have clarified the correlation between <strong>pollution and health<\/strong>. According to data from the Ministry of Health, in Italy more than <strong>40,000 Italians a year fall ill<\/strong> of lung cancer. And among the best known causes is air pollution. And yet, the idea of change seems stronger than life itself.<br \/>\nAnd when they tell us that we Italians<strong> we are a very careful people<\/strong>. Confident and proud, I am reminded of how many times we have forgotten our great pride <strong>and sense of belonging<\/strong> to the earth and life just because we are too caught up in the frenzy around us.<\/p>\n<p>Many have tried, and with poor results because: <strong>not polluting is not easy<\/strong> for nothing. Being careful and respecting the environment, if you are the only one to do so, is almost a folly that will achieve nothing.<br \/>\nFortunately, we are also the people who know how to say no. And thanks to some help (state mobility bonus), they found the courage to change.<br \/>\nAnd so it is that in less than a year, <strong>over 600,000 Italians said NO<\/strong> cars by choosing green means.  And hundreds of Italian municipalities have increased bike lanes and cycle paths by more than 200 km (March 2021 figures rising steadily).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-25921 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/donnobikes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/3-2-1024x576.png\" alt=\"Cities are demanding clean air and smog is not letting up\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Improvement is possible and thanks to your contribution<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Going to work<\/strong> by car is convenient, but going there <strong>at <a href=\"https:\/\/donnobikes.com\/en\/ahooga-modulare-bike\/\">bike <\/a><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/donnobikes.com\/en\/ahooga-modulare-bike\/\">as well and is <\/a><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ahoogabikes.it\/bici-modulare-elettrica\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">say hello<\/a><\/strong>, <strong>pleasant and economical<\/strong>.
