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.

  • Forecasters say 2025 ‘more likely than not’ to be UK’s hottest year on record

    Met Office says temperatures are tracking ahead of 2022 after year of heatwaves and drought, though late cold spell could yet intervene

    Forecasters say 2025 is “more likely than not” to break the record for the hottest year in the UK since records began, after a summer of heatwaves and drought followed by a mild autumn.

    According to the Met Office, the official forecaster, the mean temperature for 2025 is tracking well ahead of the previous highest year, set in 2022. However, a colder spell expected from Christmas until the new year makes it too close to call definitively.

  • Fatberg weighing 100 tonnes discovered in east London sewer

    Mass of congealed fat, oil and grease 100 metres in length found blocking sewers in Whitechapel area of capital

    A “fatberg” weighing an estimated 100 tonnes has been discovered blocking sewers in east London, officials have said.

    The mass of congealed fats, oils and grease measures about 100 metres long (328ft) and weighs about a third more than the heaviest of the British army’s battle tanks. It has been called the grandchild of the 2017 Whitechapel fatberg, which weighed 130 tonnes and stretched for more than 250 metres (820ft).

    Speke, Merseyside: Walking through Stockton’s Wood today, you’d never know it played such a vital role in the second world war

    For most visitors, the Tudor house of Speke Hall, with all its rich history and magnificence, is the star of the show here. But right next door, Stockton’s Wood has a history all of its own.

    Today, on a chilly winter day, there’s no escaping that right now this ancient woodland is an important “deadwood” site. It’s rich in veteran trees and fallen branches, and has a stunning diversity of mosses and fungi. Pausing by a fallen oak, I count slime mould pimpling the bark, several species of small but perfectly formed bracket fungi, and candlesnuff fungus, fungal mycelium lurking where once sap flowed. A wind-thrown silver birch is caught in a sycamore’s embrace.

  • ‘Unashamedly capitalist’ rewilders claim ‘Moneyball’ approach could make millions – but experts sceptical

    Rich Stockdale says model of ‘regenerative capitalism’ would maximise profits by planting trees, restoring peatlands, and installing windfarms across its estates

    The founder of an investment firm buying large estates across Britain to restore woods and peatland has said it is “unashamedly and proudly” capitalist, and plans to make tens of millions of pounds in profit.

    Rich Stockdale, the chief executive of Oxygen Conservation, said his model of “regenerative capitalism” was a “force for good” because it would offer investors significant profits by planting trees, restoring peatlands, operating solar farms and holiday homes and installing new windfarms across its estates.

  • Organ-tuning books in English churches provide notes on a warming climate

    Researchers have realised the records are a ‘goldmine’ to study changes in environmental conditions

    Yangang Xing had never heard of organ-tuning books, but his colleague Andrew Knight often played the pipe organ at churches as a teenager.

    When the pair, who are researchers at Nottingham Trent University, set out to study how environmental conditions in churches had changed over time, Knight explained that all over the country many organs had notebooks full of data tucked away in their recesses.

  • 2025 is ‘year of the octopus’ as record numbers spotted off England’s south coast

    Milder weather led to a bloom in the invertebrates in south Cornwall and Devon, wildlife charity says

    Record numbers of sightings of one of the world’s most intelligent invertebrates over the summer have led the Wildlife Trusts to declare 2025 “the year of the octopus” in its annual review of Britain’s seas.

    A mild winter followed by an exceptionally warm spring prompted unprecedented numbers of Mediterranean octopuses to take up residence along England’s south coast, from Penzance in Cornwall to south Devon.

  • ‘The anxiety never disappears’: Monmouth businesses recover from severe flooding

    Restaurants, bars and shops are happy to be back after Storm Claudia – but there are fears for the future

    “It was heart-wrenching,” says Andrea Sholl, recalling the Friday night last month when flood waters started rising inside Bar 125, the restaurant she and her husband, Martin, own in the Welsh border town of Monmouth.

    The Sholls and a couple of colleagues were still clearing up after a busy evening serving diners when the building started to fill with water at about 1am.

  • Something gnawed your oak tree? Sink hole in your road? How Zurich’s beaver hotline is reassuring residents

    As the number of the semi-aquatic creatures soars so can tensions. But the Swiss have a tried and tested system to calm the neighbours and restore harmony

    “I hate beavers,” a woman tells the beaver hotline. Forty years ago she planted an oak tree in a small town in southern Zurich – now at the frontier of beaver expansion – and it has just been felled: gnawed by the large, semi-aquatic rodents as they enter their seasonal home-improvement mode.

    The caller is one of 10 new people getting in touch each week at this time of year. Beavers, nature’s great engineers, can unleash mayhem during winter as they renovate their lodges and build up their dams. For people, this can mean flooding, sinkholes appearing in roads and trees being felled. A single incident can clock up 70,000 Swiss francs (£65,000) in damages.

  • US farmers say Trump’s $12bn package not enough to undo damage from tariffs

    Thousands of farms set to go bankrupt as grain farmers in particular hit by trade disruptions caused by price hikes

    Donald Trump, having promised to “NEVER LET OUR FARMERS DOWN”, appeared to come through for them this month when he unveiled a $12bn aid package. Industry leaders say thousands of farms will still go bust this year.

    While the US president has vowed to increase domestic farm production, and even claimed this formed a “big part” of his plan to lower grocery prices for Americans, many US farmers are grappling with mounting financial issues – compounded by Trump’s agenda.
