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

  • How thousands of fossil fuel lobbyists got access to UN climate talks – and then kept drilling

    Exclusive: Research shows oil, gas and coal firms’ unprecedented access to Cop26-29, blocking urgent climate action

    More than 5,000 fossil fuel lobbyists were given access to the UN climate summits over the past four years, a period marked by a rise in catastrophic extreme weather, inadequate climate action and record oil and gas expansion, new research reveals.

    Lobbyists representing the interests of the oil, gas and coal industries – which are mostly responsible for climate breakdown – have been allowed to participate in the annual climate negotiations where states are meant to come in good faith and commit to ambitious policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

  • Lights out: can we stop glow-worms and fireflies fading away?

    From night walks with children to switching off streetlights and rewilding areas, naturalists are working to save Europe’s dwindling populations

    An hour or so after sunset, green twinkles of possibility gleam beneath the hedgerows of Westbury-sub-Mendip in Somerset. Under an orange August moon, the last female glow-worms of the season are making one final push at finding a mate.

    For almost 20 years, Peter Bright and other volunteers have combed the village’s shrubberies and grasslands, searching for the bioluminescent beetles as part of the UK glow-worm survey. Most years, they have counted between 100 and 150, rising to 248 in 2017.

  • The era of fine speeches and good intentions is over. Brazil’s Cop30 will be about action | Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva

    This is our message to world leaders: make this the ‘Cop of truth’, before people lose faith

    • Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is the president of Brazil

    Today, in the Brazilian Amazon, the Belém summit opens ahead of the 30th United Nations climate change conference (Cop30). I have convened world leaders in the days leading up to the conference so that we can all commit to acting with the urgency the climate crisis demands.

    If we fail to move beyond speeches into real action, our societies will lose faith – not only in the Cops, but in multilateralism and international politics more broadly. That is why I have summoned leaders to the Amazon: to make this the “Cop of truth”, the moment we demonstrate the seriousness of our shared commitment to the planet.

  • Misleading UK adverts for ’very low emission’ wood-burning stoves banned

    ASA action won approval of clean air campaigners, who said some ‘seriously misleading myths’ had been debunked

    Adverts claiming that wood-burning stoves are “very low emissions” have been banned by the Advertising Standards Agency for being misleading and not substantiated.

    The claims were made on the website of the Stove Industry Association, which represents the makers and sellers of stoves in the UK. Campaigners against air pollution said they were glad the ASA had debunked some “seriously misleading myths”.

  • Canada pushes on with ‘complete depopulation’ plan to cull 400 ostriches

    Country’s top court declines to block controversial cull of hundreds of birds amid fears of an avian flu outbreak

    Canada’s food inspection agency says it plans to begin a “complete depopulation” of hundreds of ostriches at a farm after the country’s top court declined to block the controversial cull.

    On Thursday, the supreme court said it would not take up a case that has catalyzed a fierce protest by the farm owners and protesters – as well as senior figures in the Trump administration, who have decried the public health effort as government overreach.

  • The artist Luke Jerram on the tree-planting project he’ll never see finished

    It may be a midlife crisis, says the man behind seven-metre installations of the Earth, moon and Sun who has planted 365 trees in a 100-year project in Somerset

    Luke Jerram, whose art installations have travelled the world, is philosophical about his latest project bearing fruit beyond his time on Earth.

    Known for his Play Me I’m Yours street pianos project and his Museum of the Moon artwork – a seven-metre diameter sculpture of the moon featuring detailed Nasa imagery of the lunar surface – Jerram is now working on Echo Wood, a living, breathing installation made of native British trees.

  • Residents of Alaska’s storm-battered Native towns consider moving to higher ground

    Damage from Typhoon Halong underscored the vulnerability of villages in western Alaska to climate crisis

    Darrel John watched the final evacuees depart his village on the western coast of Alaska in helicopters and small planes and walked home, avoiding the debris piled on the boardwalks over the swampy land.

    He is one of seven residents who chose to remain in Kwigillingok after the remnants of Typhoon Halong devastated the village last month, uprooting homes and floating many of them miles away, some with residents inside. One person was killed and two remain missing.

  • ‘If there’s a free alternative, I’ll eat healthily’: how Sweden devised brilliant school meals

    A pilot scheme where students eat nutritious breakfasts using donated surplus food builds on the ‘folkhem’ welfare model to boost health and sustainability

    Students at Mariebergsskolan, a secondary school in Karlstad, Sweden, make their way to the canteen to grab a juice shot. This morning’s options include ginger and lemon, apple, golden milk, lemon and mint, or strawberry and orange. There’s also the choice of overnight oats with caramelised milk.

    It’s just after 9am and the space is usually empty, but thanks to a project launched in 2018 by Vinnova, Sweden’s national innovation agency, students are starting their day with a boost from the energy bar. All the ingredients are donated by local supermarkets which are giving away surplus fruit and vegetables to minimise food waste.

  • ‘Drug trafficking, extortion, kidnapping’: the lawless rush for rare earth minerals in Venezuela

    Guerrilla groups have seized control of mining areas, exploiting Indigenous people and fuelling environmental ruin on the border with Colombia

    For months, Brig Gen Rafael Olaya Quintero, commander of the Orinoco naval force, has been chasing tin and coltan traffickers across the waterways at Colombia’s border with Venezuela.

    His mission has become more urgent since the global shift towards clean energy has generated an unprecedented rush for rare earth elements and critical minerals. These materials are vital components in electric vehicle batteries, wind turbines, fighter jets and guided missiles, with demand also driven by increased defence budgets in the EU, US and China, and throughout the world.
