ECO HVAR UDRUGA ZA DOBROBIT LJUDI, OKOLIŠA I ŽIVOTINJA

Dobrodošli na internet stranice Eco Hvara.

Otok Hvar, na dalmatinskoj obali u Hrvatskoj, jedan je od najljepših mjesta na svijetu - izgleda kao raj na Zemlji. Otočani se već odavno hvale čistim zrakom i morem, netaknutom prirodom i zdravim načinom života temeljenog na dobroj prehrani i boravku na zraku.

Turizam je glavna ekonomska aktivnost otoka. Grad Hvar osnovao je prvu profesionalnu turističku organizaciju u Europi kada je osnovano Higijeničko društvo Hvar, davne 1868. godine, pod vodstvom Biskupa Juraja Dubokovića. Cilj društva bio je privući goste kojima bi koristile blagodati klime, posebice blaga zima i čisti zrak. Ovi “zdravstveni” turisti dobro su bili zbrinuti u svakom pogledu, s dobrom hranom i zdravim aktivnostima. Oni su napravili temelje kontinuiranog uspjeha hvarske turističke industrije. Tijekom godina stil turizma se promijenio. Osnova otočkih atrakcija ostao je isti. Mnogi i dalje posjećuju ili dolaze kako bi uživali u čistom zraku, moru i selu. Nitko nije razočaran njegovom prirodom ljepotom. Postoje i druge atrakcije - uz bogatu i šarenu povijest otoka te njegovu kulturnu baštinu ne smijemo zaboraviti dobru hranu i visoko kvalitetna vina.

Ipak, otok nije savršen. Određeni aspekti se mogu i morali bi se promijeniti. Na otoku je iznenađujuće visok broj bolesti povezanih s pušenjem i lošom prehranom, kao što su dijabetes tipa 2, bolesti srca i pluća. Liječnici imaju posla sa smetnjama vezanim uz štitnjaču i hormone, osobito kod mladih djevojaka te rakom kod svih dobnih skupina. To su pokazatelji da otočani trebaju bolje shvatiti zdrave životne navike a isto tako i osvijestiti ih o posljedicama korištenja kemijskih pesticida i gnojiva.

Način na koji se postupa sa životinjama, ljubitelji istih također smatraju razlogom za zabrinutost. Na otoku ne postoji objekt za spašavanje životinja a skloništa za pse i mačke hitno su potrebna kako bi se osigurala pravilna skrb za potrebite životinje.

Registrirana, neprofitna, dobrotvorna udruga Eco Hvar osnovana je 2013. godine kako bi unaprijedila uvjete ljudima, životinjama i okolišu. Detalje o ciljevima udruge u svim kategorijamamožete pročitati klikom na ove poveznice: Okoliš, Zdravlje, Životinje.

Sveobuhvatni ideal jest stvoriti istinski zemaljski raj na čudesnom otoku Hvaru.

Eco Hvar sa zadovoljstvom surađuje s istomišljenim organizacijama te je član PAN Europe i LAG Škoji, te podržava Zemljane staze - Earth Trek (Facebook stranica), Održivi otok, Dignitea i Pokret otoka.

  • Critical Atlantic current significantly more likely to collapse than thought

    Scientists say finding is ‘very concerning’ as collapse would be catastrophic for Europe, Africa and the Americas

    The critical Atlantic current system appears significantly more likely to collapse than previously thought after new research found that climate models predicting the biggest slowdown are the most realistic. Scientists called the new finding “very concerning” as a collapse would have catastrophic consequences for Europe, Africa and the Americas.

    The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (Amoc) is a major part of the global climate system and was already known to be at its weakest for 1,600 years as a result of the climate crisis. Scientists spotted warning signs of a tipping point in 2021 and know that the Amoc has collapsed in the Earth’s past.

  • MSC’s ‘blue tick’ scheme creates illusion of ethically sourced fish, study claims

    Sustainability certification by Marine Stewardship Council may be obscuring labour abuses in seafood supply chains, say researchers

    The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), which operates a “blue tick” scheme to indicate the sustainability of fish, has been accused of creating an “illusion” of ethical sourcing, after a study reported that widespread labour abuses have taken place on the fishing vessels it approves.

    One in five vessels where the crew reported abuses to the International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) over the last five years took place on ships catching seafood certified as sustainable by the MSC, researchers found.

  • Ammonia pollution hotspots found in areas of UK with most pig and poultry factory farms

    Map reveals most severe concentrations of ammonia emissions, which are dangerous to health and environment

    Ammonia pollution hotspots have been identified in areas with some of the greatest numbers of intensive pig and poultry farms in Britain, research has revealed.

    A new map for the first time reveals the most severe concentrations of ammonia emissions are clustered in Lincolnshire, Herefordshire and Norfolk. These regions all have a high density of intensive poultry and pig units that drive dangerous levels of ammonia, according to researchers from Compassion in World Farming (CiWF) and Sustain.

  • In the footsteps of Linnaeus: scientists share their passion for species from tiny wasps to hairy plants – in pictures

    For his project ‘De Oförtrutna’ (The Relentless), photographer Christer Björkman pictured Swedish scientists working in the spirit of Carl Linnaeus, the botanist who created the modern taxonomic system that classifies organisms based on appearance. Each scientist brought to the shoot a book and an item of importance to their work

  • Over-the-counter pet flea treatments could be banned under new UK rules

    Exclusive: ministers consider restricting pesticide-based treatments, which can get into waterways and harm wildlife

    Pet owners across the UK could be banned from buying flea treatment for cats and dogs under new government rules.

    Ministers have begun an eight-week consultation on letting only veterinary practitioners or pharmacists give out the potent, pesticide-based flea treatments, to ensure “correct usage”. At the moment, the flea and tick treatments can be bought from any pet shop.

  • How South Korea plans to use the Iran crisis to spur a renewables revolution

    Energy crisis unfolding in Middle East has added political urgency, and more funding, to transform South Korea’s solar industry

    In Guyang-ri, a farming village of 70 households about 90 minutes south-east of Seoul, people gather for communal free lunches six days a week. The meals are funded by the village’s one-megawatt solar installation, which generates roughly 10m won ($6,800) in net profit each month.

    “Residents eat lunch together every day, so we see each other’s faces, talk together,” says Jeon Joo-young, the village chief. “Bonds and solidarity between residents become much stronger. Life becomes more enjoyable.”

  • Gray whales, once rare in San Francisco Bay, dying there at alarming rates

    Researchers find increase in whale deaths in the bay, largely because of collisions with vessels on busy shipping route

    Gray whales have historically been a rare sight in the San Francisco Bay. They trek from the warm lagoons of Mexico’s Baja California more than 10,000 miles (16,000km) north to the Arctic region to feast on shrimp-like animals during the summers, seldom stopping in the busy shipping corridor for prolonged periods.

    But in recent years, that story has changed in a dire way. A new study, published this week in the journal Frontiers in Marine Science, has found that gray whales in the bay have been dying at alarming rates, largely due to collisions with vessels.

  • After 1,200 years, cherry blossom record to live on despite Japanese scientist’s death

    Prof Yasuyuki Aono’s meticulous work charted shifting bloom dates as a marker of climate change

    Even in his final months, he counted the days until the cherry blossoms. Prof Yasuyuki Aono of Osaka Metropolitan University spent his career gathering data on the spring flowering dates of cherry trees in Japan in what is one of the world’s longest climate records tracking a seasonal occurrence.

    Using sources dating as far back as the 9th century, he revealed that cherry tree flowerings have occurred progressively earlier in recent decades – a now famous marker of climate change.

  • Chiang Mai’s New Year revelry hit by smog and war-related price spikes

    Air pollution caused by wildfires is another blow to northern Thailand’s tourism industry as businesses suffer amid war in Iran

    The Doi Suthep temple in northern Thailand is known for its spectacular views of Chiang Mai and the lush forested mountains that surround it. Over recent weeks, though, visitors can see little of the city beyond a thick cloud of grey haze.

    Persistent wildfires have caused intense air pollution across the north of Thailand, forcing three provinces to declare emergencies and triggering spikes in pollution-related illnesses.

  • Inside a jubilant DC conference where ‘the climate deniers are in charge now’

    Trump’s EPA chief Lee Zeldin’s presence shows how much influence climate deniers now have, experts say

    As scientists confirmed that March was the United States’ most abnormally hot month in recorded history, dozens of climate deniers gathered to promote misinformation and tout their newfound influence on federal policy.

    At a conference hosted by the prominent science-denying thinktank the Heartland Institute last week, a crowd of mostly middle-aged men in suits claimed the world is finally waking up to the idea that the climate crisis does not exist.
