Što je inspiriralo ECO HVAR za okoliš

Brinuti se za hvarski okoliš

U usporedbi s drugim mjestima, otok Hvar je čist. Posjetitelji cijene

netaknutu prirodu i često su je skloni hvaliti, iako upravo to i očekuju.

Naravno, uspjeh Hvara kao turističke destinacije uvelike je ovisio o njegovom

ugledu kao otoku čiste zemlje, mora i zraka.

Dobar ugled otoka uglavnom je opravdan, no ima mjesta za poboljšanje. Kad

sam počela štetati ruralnim dijelom otoka prije mnogo godina, zapanjile su

me dvije stvari. Prva je količina smeća u nakupinama na raznim mjestima,

vrlo često skrivena pod grmovima i žbunjem te, stoga, ne jasno vidljiva.

Druga je iznenađujuća količina herbicida koja se koristi u maslenicima i

vinogradima.

Dvije vrste otpada se jasno mogu zamijetiti, kao i drugdje u civiliziranom

svijetu: smeće i krš. Prvo se širi nebrigom pojedinaca, a potonje

neodgovornošću građevinskih tvrtki.

Rečeno mi je da je praksa, prije nego što je postojalo organizirano

prikupljanje otpada diljem otoka, bila da se kućno smeće baci gdjegod je to

zgodno, makar u susjedov suhi bunar ili obližnju urušenu kuću. Sad, kad se

kontejneri mogu naći u svakom naselju, ovaj je problem smanjen iako se još

može naći dokaza da su otočani nespremni promijeniti svoje loše navike.

Zašto ljudi, posebice mladi, oni koji će naslijediti okoliš, bacaju okolo smeće?

Uzmite, na primjer, opuške. Mnogi pušači imaju običaj baciti opušan na

zemlju. Vjerojatno misle kako su mali pa i beznačajni ili da će se razgraditi te

da neće štetiti okolišu. Mnogi pušači bacaju i kutije cigareta na zemlju, koje

se pridružuju općem otpadu kojeg stvaraju pakovanja slatkiša, grickalica i

pića. Pitanje zašto se ovo događa postaje kompleksnije kad se zagađivanje

okoliša otpadom događa od strane mladih ljudi i to odmah pored kante ili

kontejnera.

Kad sam živjela u Londonu, redovito sam podizala otpad šećući pse lokalnim

parkovima. Ljudi koji bi ovo vidjeli su mi ponekad zahvaljivali, posebno

čuvari parkova. Ja činim istu stvar ovdje. Nisam jedina koja miče otpad iz

okoliša kad na njega naiđe. Ljudi koji razumiju koliko je čistoća bitna za

budućnost Hvara kao turističke destinacije zadovoljni su i zahvalni.

Posljednjih godinu u porastu su akcije čišćenja plaža, puteva i mjesta javnog

okupljanja. Sljedeći veliki iskorak bio bi nagovoriti ljude da uopće ne bacaju

otpad po okolišu.

Uporaba pesticida iznenadila me s obzirom na to da su me svi koje znam

uvjeravali da se bave organskom poljoprivredom. Ispostavilo se da ne govore

svi istinu. Imala sam zanimljive rasprave s korisnicima pesticida tijekom

godina. Njihovo razmišljanje varira od „Pa ne radi se o otrovu“, prema

„Dobro, radi se o otrovu, ali je on najblaži mogući i savršeno siguran“, do

„Koristim kemikalije jer je to najlakše i nemam vremena za nešto drugo“.

Međutim, činjenice kažu da su hvarska polje, posebno ono starogradsko,

obrađivana prirodnim putem uspješno stoljećima; kemijsko onečišćenje šteti

zemlji, podzemnim vodama i cijeloj eko-strukturi otoka; i postoji relativno

visoka incidencija bolesti koje se mogu pripisati uporabi pesticida.

Naravno, mnogi ljudi se bave poljoprivredom i ne koriste pesticide. Čula sam

de se o opasnostima uporabe pesticida govorila na televiziji. Sve više ljudi se

okreće proizvodnji organskih usjeva. što ohrabruje druge da razmotre istu

stvar. Divlje cvijeće koje osvježava ruralni dio Hvara tijekom cijele godine nije

samo spektakularno lijepo, već i nužno za ekologiju otoka.

Otok Hvar karakteriziraju zadivljujuće prirodne ljepote te on zaslužuje ostati

čistim. Bilo kakav oblik onečišćenja je neprihvatljiv i štetan na sve moguće

načine. ECO HVAR za okoliš je osmišljen kako bi se pomoglo Hvaru realizirati

vlastite potencijale najčišćeg otoka na Jadranskom moru.

  • Britain will find ‘common ground’ with US on energy policy, says Miliband

    Energy secretary says countries must work together during conference at which US delegate called net zero ‘dangerous’

    Britain will find “common ground” with the US on energy and the economy including on nuclear power, despite differences over climate policy, the UK energy secretary, Ed Miliband, has pledged.

    He was speaking at the close of a two-day, 60-country conference in London on energy security, hosted by the government and the International Energy Agency (IEA), at which the US delegate Tommy Joyce attacked net zero policies as “dangerous” and “damaging”, and said it was in the interests of “our adversaries”.

  • Will Cop30 in Belém help or harm the Amazon?

    Trees are being cleared for rainforest mega-event – but state governor says a ‘new history’ is under way

    Fake metal trees have been set into the concrete ground of the Amazonian host city of this year’s climate summit, prompting scandalised contrasts with the once-living vegetation that has been cleared in preparation for Cop30 in Brazil.

    But in an unlikely convergence of views, both the centre-right state governor and leftwing social movements insist this is a storm in a plant pot compared with the darkening geopolitical threats to the world’s biggest diplomatic gathering, which will take place in November in Belém.

  • ‘It shapes the whole experience’: what happens when you build a city from wood?

    Transforming a former industrial area in Sweden will bring psychological benefits for future residents and reduce construction’s climate impact

    Although activity is high, it is surprisingly quiet inside the construction site of a high school extension in Sickla, a former industrial area in south Stockholm that is set to become part of the “largest mass timber project in the world” according to the Swedish urban property developer Atrium Ljungberg.

    Just a few months remain until students enter the premises, but there is no sound of drilling or pounding against concrete walls. The scent of wood is unmistakable, and signs of the material can be spotted everywhere – from glulam (glued laminated timber) columns and beams in the building’s frame to cross-laminated timber (CLT) slabs in the floors, ceilings and staircases. CLT, made by gluing together layers of planed wood into panels, offers strength and rigidity comparable to concrete but is significantly lighter and quicker to build with.

  • Only three people ever prosecuted for covering up England’s illegal sewage spills

    Employees of water firms who obstruct investigations into spills could face jail under new rules that come into force on Friday

    Water company bosses have entirely escaped punishment for covering up illegal sewage spills, government figures show, as ministers prepare to bring in a new law threatening them with up to two years in prison for doing so.

    Only three people have ever been prosecuted for obstructing the Environment Agency in its investigations into sewage spills, officials said, and none received even a fine.

  • Weather tracker: thunderstorms lash Italy in aftermath of Storm Hans

    Authorities warn of mudslides during intense rainfall, as Kenya is hit by deadly flash flooding

    After Storm Hans battered northern Italy in the runup to Easter, severe weather continued to lash much of the country this week. Since Tuesday, the conditions have triggered potent showers and thunderstorms, and yellow and orange weather warnings have been issued.

    With winds generally remaining light this week, the greatest concerns surround the risks from intense rainfall, as slow-moving heavy showers can deliver a prolonged downpour to a fairly localised area. The authorities have warned people to avoid high-risk areas such as roads with steep embankments amid a threat of flash flooding and mudslides.

  • ‘People can’t imagine something on that scale dying’: Anohni on mourning the Great Barrier Reef

    The Anohni and the Johnsons singer is collaborating with marine scientists for two special shows at Sydney’s Vivid festival that will show the reef’s plight

    Anohni Hegarty is about to go to the Great Barrier Reef for the first time. “I feel like I’m going to Auschwitz,” she says nervously. “On the one hand, I’m so excited to go because the landscape is so beautiful, and I know there’s going to be so much that’s gorgeous. And yet, I’m also scared.”

    In a week, the British-born, New York-based avant garde singer of Anohni and the Johnsons is flying to Lizard Island, a paradise of powdery sands on the reef, 1,600km north-west of Brisbane. Its luxury villas and bluest of blue waters are a stark contrast to the grim nature of Anohni’s assignment: documenting the current state of the world’s biggest coral reef.

  • Is it still worth getting a home battery in Australia if I can’t install solar panels on my roof?

    Some households aren’t suited to solar – but do batteries make environmental or financial sense on their own?

    Many people want to reduce their carbon footprint but for various reasons can’t install solar panels. Some roofs face the wrong way, others are overshadowed or subject to heritage restrictions, and apartment blocks often lack space.

    Landlords are also often reluctant to install solar systems in rental properties since the benefits flow to the tenants rather than the property owner.

  • ‘A sweeping catastrophe’: 20 years after Hurricane Katrina, a photo exhibit honors Mississippi victims

    Hurricane Katrina: Mississippi Remembers captures the grief and resilience of survivors in the Magnolia state

    Twenty years ago this August, the United States Gulf coast was irrevocably changed when Hurricane Katrina, one of the deadliest and costliest storms to ever hit the country, made landfall. Making landfall as a strong category 3, the storm, which was so vast it stretched the length of the Mississippi Gulf coast all the way into Alabama, hit the Mississippi-Louisiana coastal border before continuing northward.

    Since then, superstorms fueled by the climate crisis have become relatively commonplace in the country, but the impact of Katrina endures to this day. Immediately following the storm, the country and world were enthralled by tragic stories out of New Orleans, where the levees failed to a catastrophic effect and the local, state and federal responses were disastrous. But Mississippi, which received the maximum impact from the storm surge, was largely left out of the national narrative around Katrina.
