U posljednje vrijeme mnogo slušamo o gospodarenju otpadom - na državnoj i lokalnoj razini. Uz mnoge prepreke koje pred Hrvatskom stoje želi li uhvatiti korak sa ostalim, ekološki osvještenim i razvijenim europskim zemljama, običan čovjek često se zapita može li on uopće napraviti razliku, učiniti nešto značajno. Oni koji su se kroz kišu i plimu petak 2.3. u 17h probili do starogradske osnovne škole, mogli su o tome saznati iz prve ruke. Tamo nas je jedna sitna/nježna Španjolka podsjetila da svatko od nas itekako može napraviti razliku.

Naime, Esther Penarrubia, doktorica znanosti poljoprivrednog inženjeringa i učiteljica engleskog jezika, je pred zainteresiranim građanima Starog Grada govorila o knjizi Bee Johnson "Zero Waste Home" i svome iskustvu. Esther je Beinu knjigu prevela s engleskog na španjolski i katalonski, te u svojoj zemlji održala više od 25 predavanja na temu "Zero Waste" ili minimalnom kućnom otpadu. Kroz poglavlja knjige provela nas je govoreći o vlastitom iskustvu i konkretnim primjerima kako ona i njena četveročlana obitelj svakodnevno pokušavaju smanjiti količinu svog kućnog otpada. Kroz praktične primjere savjetovala nam je kako izbjegavati plastičnu ambalažu, nepotrebna pakiranja i općenito smanjiti svakodnevni otpad.

Esther i Nora, koja je organizirala predavanje.

Bilo je zanimljivo otkriti kako već i sitne promjene, koje ne iziskuju velik trud, već samo malo mašte i bolju organizaciju, mogu značajno smanjiti količinu otpada, pa čak i donijeti uštedu kućnom buđetu. Publika se uključila pitanjima i svojim iskustvima, pa je rasprava bila zanimljiva i dinamična. Esther nam je pokazala kako "zero waste" način života nije samo pomodna novotarija, nego prilika za svakoga od nas da preispitamo svoju vezanost za materijalne stvari, kao i odgovoran odnos prema prirodi i Zemlji koju ostavljamo budućim generacijama.

Publika se uključila u pitanjima.

Esther sa svojim mužem i dvoje male djece već 6 mjeseci biciklima putuje Europom, pa je tako posljednjih mjesec dana odsjela u Vrboskoj, te oduševljena ljepotom otoka još nas jednom podsjetila koliko je važno da ga ovakvim i sačuvamo. Sve nas se dojmila njena priča, pa je tako i jedna mlada prevoditeljica koja je prisustvovala predavanju izrazila želju uhvatiti se u koštac s prijevodom ove knjige i na hrvatski. Svjesni važnosti ove teme, veselimo se očekujući u budućnosti objavljivanje ove vrijedne knjige i na hrvatskom jeziku. Do tada, razne ideje i savjete za življenje sa manje otpada možemo pronaći i na stranici Bee Johnson www.zerowastehome.com

  • Deaths in France surged 30% during hottest week of record June heatwave

    Public health authority says 2,025 excess deaths probably an underestimate and that it expects toll to rise further

    The number of deaths recorded in France surged by nearly 30% during the hottest week of the record-breaking heatwave that scorched much of Europe last month, the public health authority has said, adding that it expected the toll to rise further.

    Public Health France said on Friday there had been “an increase of 29.1%, corresponding to 2,025 additional deaths compared with the previous week”. It said the figure was probably an underestimate and “mortality will rise further”.

  • Listen to Britain’s dawn chorus of 1976: the dramatic loss of birdsong in 50 years

    Guardian recreates audio landscape of past filled by loud morning symphony before 73m wild birds were lost

    Imagine a deafening abundance of birdsong so loud it wakes your children at dawn; the chirrup of house sparrows, the chattering of starlings, the melody of the wren, and the clear high-pitched flute of blackbirds saturating the garden, reverberating around your local park, dominating your neighbourhood from early morning to evening twilight.

    So loud is the song of the thrush that the naturalist and ornithologist WH Hudson wrote in 1919 that he was grateful when observing one that it was perched on a tree at a distance from his home, “so that when I woke at half past three or four o’clock, the shrill indefatigable voice came in at the open window, softened by distance and washed by the dewy atmosphere to greater purity”.

  • ‘I don’t just watch climate change happening’: the young Swedes being paid to make a difference

    Participant-led YPS scheme creates green projects while providing summer jobs in country with high youth unemployment

    Oona Verveld and Clara Vikberg have just secured their first paid summer jobs. While their peers are mostly limited to entry-level positions in retail or fast-food restaurants, the 18-year-olds are some of the first among their generation to have landed a new type of role: young planetary stewards.

    “Someone came up with the simple idea that, since young people clearly need jobs, why not create them?” says My Sellberg, the project manager and programme lead for regenerative development at Upplandsbygd, a non-profit based north of Stockholm. “The strongest objective was to inspire hope for the future among our young residents.”

  • ‘Scavenger’ dolphins increasingly rely on trawlers for food in overfished Adriatic, say scientists

    In one area 76% of fishing boats were followed, with baby dolphins learning the technique from their parents

    Bottlenose dolphins in the Adriatic are increasingly following trawlers to scavenge for food, with baby dolphins learning the technique from their parents, a study has found.

    “These days the easiest way to find [bottlenose dolphins] is to look for trawlers,” said Giovanni Bearzi, a co-author of the study and the president of Dolphin Biology and Conservation in Italy. “Many of them are followed by the dolphins that go to forage and scavenge in their wake.

    Every year, millions of visitors from across the globevisit Jamaica to enjoy its gorgeous beaches, fuelling a multibillion dollar tourism industry.

  • Defra breached law when it let farmers use bee-killing pesticide, watchdog says

    Office for Environmental Protection finds failures by department when it granted emergency authorisation in 2023 and 2024

  • Weatherwatch: How thunder is made

    Sound of thunder varies depending on distance of listener from lightning as atmosphere muffles and absorbs sound

    A bolt of lightning heats the air almost instantly to as high as 30,000C, causing explosive expansion and a supersonic shock wave that becomes thunder. What that thunder sounds like to a listener depends largely on where they are.

    Nearby lightning produces a distinctive snap or crack, or a startling explosive boom. Large, complex lightning with multiple segments generates a peal of thunder, a series of booms of different pitches as the sound from each of the segments reaches you in turn.

    With probiotic foods thought to boost performance, tournament chefs are catering with gut health in mind

    Trout sushi washed down with coffee kombucha may not be the stereotypical breakfast of champions, but it’s become the go-to for Wimbledon’s tennis stars.

    Athletes are increasingly demanding sustainable options, as well as seeking out gut-friendly foods aligned with a microbiome diet, according to the tournament’s chefs. Recent research has shown a link between gut health, which can be improved through dietary changes, and sporting performance.
