	abstract = {The garbage crisis in Campania, a region of the Southern Italy, is an example of human {\textendash} made enviromental degradation, which determined a sudden drop in the health condition of local inhabitants, with a considerable increase in the number of deaths caused by cancer, respiratory illnesses, and also genetic malformations. Since the mid-1990s the Italian government declared the state of emergency for waste disposal in Campania. During a demonstration against the Giugliano thermovalorizor, a woman said: "Before people leave Naples and Campania, because of unemployment; today people leave Naples and Campania because of ecological disaster. They don{\textquoteright}t want to die"(28th of September 2013). {\guillemotleft}The contemporary garbage struggle reveals that the distribution of power among social groups affects not only their social relations, but also the ecology of the urban/rural enviroments and, ultimately, of the human bodies inhabiting them{\guillemotright}( Armiero, 2008). This reference supports the thesis, developed in this chapter, that ecomigration can be related to human {\textendash} made enviromental degradation.},
