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.

  • Lobbyists send legal threats to councils over anti-wood burner campaigns

    At least eight councils receive legal threats alleging flyers criticising wood burners are in breach of advertising codes

    Lobbyists for the UK wood-burning stove industry have threatened councils with legal action over public information campaigns warning of the harms of air pollution.

    At least eight councils have received legal threats, according to research by the British Medical Journal (BMJ). The Stove Industry Association (SIA), which represents the UK’s expanding industry around the burning of wood in domestic settings, wrote to the councils, all London boroughs, in late 2023 complaining that flyers stating wood burners were “careless, not cosy” were in breach of UK advertising codes.

  • A delightful day at the dump: ‘The trick is not to leave with more stuff than I arrived with!’

    At the council recycling tip in Chingford, people drop off fridges, dishwashers, mattresses, golf clubs, bicycles and batteries – then head into the shop to hunt through the weird and wonderful treasures

    When an embalmed rabbit in a Perspex box arrived at the dump in Chingford, north-east London, last year, with fur on its head but its organs and skeleton exposed to teach veterinary students about the digestive system, Lisa Charlton knew she had to save it from landfill. She was sure that one of her regulars, a man interested in anything “a bit weird, macabre and bizarre” would buy it. And he did.

    Charlton, who has worked at the recycling centre’s onsite ReUse shop for a year and a half, has salvaged items ranging from furniture, old toys and lampshades to walking frames brought in by local people. She has put aside some cast-iron cauldrons for her sister who is “into crystals and healing” and runs a shop in Cornwall. Items that have come through her shop include vintage crockery, antique crystal vases with solid silver rims, a spindly chair from the 1920s and an old ammunition box.

  • Tiny, lost and constipated: what a baby turtle told Australian scientists about warming seas

    The arrival of loggerheads in New South Wales shows these ‘sentinels of climate change’ are being forced into unknown territory

    When Bulwal Bilima (BB for short) first arrived at Taronga Zoo in Sydney, Australia, she, or possibly he, was lethargic, badly constipated and dehydrated. Named “strong turtle” in the Aboriginal Dhurga language of the Yuin people on whose land it was found, the tiny 110g loggerhead hatchling, no bigger than a bar of soap, had a fight on its hands.

    The baby turtle was found stranded in New South Wales’s Booderee national park last April, much further south than the usual hatching grounds. After days of feeding on squid, sardines and marine vitamins, BB, whose sex cannot be determined until it is fully mature, revived.

  • Will China own the green energy future? – podcast

    The conflict in the Middle East has sent energy prices soaring, and for countries that import a high proportion of their fuel, it’s a reminder of the perils of energy dependence. As the recipient of almost 90% of Iran’s crude oil, China knows this only too well. Which partly explains why the country spent the last decade heavily investing in clean power.

    To find out what else could be driving the strategy, Madeleine Finlay speaks to senior China correspondent Amy Hawkins.

    And energy correspondent Jillian Ambrose reflects on how China’s ambitions could affect the rest of the world

  • Weatherwatch: how a warmer world and more rain could transform Antarctica

    Shrinking and faster-moving glaciers, weakened ice shelves and more icebergs would bring fundamental changes

    You don’t need an umbrella in Antarctica. With an average of just 16cm of precipitation each year, this continent is the world’s largest desert. But all that could change. A study shows that as the world warms, Antarctica is going to experience more rain, bringing with it fundamental changes to the landscape and wildlife inhabiting this unique environment.

    Bethan Davies, a glaciologist at Newcastle University, has been leading a team studying the impact of a warming climate on the Antarctic peninsula. Under faster warming scenarios (2C or more this century) they report in Frontiers in Environmental Science that snow and rain could increase by more than 20%, with increasing amounts falling as rain.

  • Country diary: When wild swans need a human hand | Sara Hudston

    Abbotsbury, Dorset: The swannery has been here since the 11th century, and this winter, after the storms harmed the flock’s feeding, it came into its own

    The sea is rough and turbid, with big, grey waves breaking white all along the pebbled length of Chesil Beach, but the water in the lagoon behind is merely ruffled. Here at the westernmost end, the shore is white not with surf but with hundreds of mute swans.

    There has been a swannery at Abbotsbury since the 11th century, when Benedictine monks began to manage the wild swans that gathered on the sheltered Fleet lagoon. To this day, cygnets hatching here belong not to the crown, but to descendants of the Strangways family, who have managed the flock for 15 generations.

  • Global sea levels have been underestimated due to poor modelling, research suggests

    Analysis shows average levels are 30cm higher than thought, and up to 150cm in south-east Asia and Indo-Pacific

    Sea levels around the world have been underestimated due to inaccurate modelling, with research suggesting ocean levels are far higher than previously understood.

    The finding could significantly affect assessments of the future impacts of global heating and the effects on coastal settlements.

  • Showdown over datacenter politics at heart of North Carolina primary

    Democratic rematch in Durham-area district draws focus to fight over AI datacenters increasingly shaping US elections

    A North Carolina congressional primary held on Tuesday is an early test of datacenter politics – a fight increasingly shaping elections nationwide.

    In the Durham-area fourth district, Congresswoman Valerie Foushee is seeking her third term against progressive challenger Nida Allam, a Durham county commissioner she defeated in 2022. The election was too close to call as of Wednesday morning, with Foushee up by less than one percentage point, and is likely headed for a recount.

  • Fever dream: Australia sweltered through one of the hottest summers on record, with little relief at night

    Data shows that some locations stayed well above 30C through the night during a heatwave in late January

    Australia’s summer was one of the hottest since measurements began, with more than 60 weather stations recording their highest ever daily maximum temperatures during a heatwave in January.

    But it wasn’t just the days that were sweltering – Australia experienced the fifth-warmest summertime night temperatures on record.
