Within this event, for decades, the Archdiocese of Milan, the Italian Episcopal Conference and the Pontifical Council for Pastoral Care of Migrants and Itinerant People, have found a place, bringing its specific sensitivity. In particular, by organizing a conference on a regular basis now entered its national tradition. And this year the program is enhanced.

A subject dear to the pure teaching of Benedict XVI as evidenced for example, the message for World Day of Peace 2010, If you want to cultivate peace, protect creation. There the law include: Respect for creation is of great importance, not least because "creation is the beginning and foundation of all the works of God" and its preservation has now become essential for the peaceful coexistence of mankind. (...) No less troubling are the threats arising from the neglect (...) in respect of land and natural resources which God has given us. For this reason it is imperative that humanity renew and strengthen "alliance between human beings and the environment, which should mirror the creative love of God, from whom we come and towards whom we are journeying."
And in this direction arises in the conference program at the BIT 2011. The theme of biodiversity will be here declined, in particular, with reference to the singular experience of welcoming hotel type practiced by Church people, united in harmony with nature, with the Creator and with the brothers.
P. Ottavio Fasano, Capuchin friar, will present the experience of a particular holiday village in Cape Verde: Houses do Sol to live in these complexes - sober, but well equipped swimming pool surrounded by nature - you need to sign a contract time sharing which entitles them to receive a housing unit for a period from two weeks to ten years. All in a donation. The time-sharing, rather than a timeshare, call the membership of an association, because it involves only the transfer of a share of the real right of use. The initiative was established to financially support the Center Social Health Saint Francis Hospital, which is also present in the archipelago, and would like to consolidate with the offer of a hotel school for local youths. The task of the missionary on that island, however, extends well to the drinking water research through the involvement of many people, education and respect for creation. By both local and from visitors.
P. Mauro Maccarinelli, Benedictine, attending instead the reasons that led to the abbey of Praglia to make difficult choices with respect for nature. Above all, the energy upgrading of the great monastic monument with modern technology the environment. The boiler feed, for example, begins with wood chips coming in part from the forests owned and partly purchased from local producers. This type of heating can prevent the annual emission of 480 tonnes of CO2 compared to fossil diesel fuel and 367 tonnes of fossil CO2 than methane. The choice has undoubtedly also copy a relapse of acceptance that traditional activity in the abbey is practiced according to the rules of the Benedictine religious family. In addition to traditional items then, that many monasteries were made up, there is also Praglia attention to cosmetics. On the basis of archival documents of the ancient apothecary monastery, monks prepare creams and ointments only natural, using herbs and products from the hive.
