Pesticidi - Zašto Ne

UPOTREBA KEMIJSKIH PESTICIDA U SADAŠNJIM KOLIČINAMA NIJE NI SIGURNA NI ODRŽIVA!

Pesticidi - Zašto Ne

UPOTREBA KEMIJSKIH PESTICIDA je rasprostranjena, ne samo u agrokulturi („proizvodi za zaštitu bilja“), nego i u raznim industrijama, uključujući proizvodnju lijekova, tekstila, namještaja i kozmetike (biocidi).

U PRAKSI SE NE POŠTUJE PRAVO JAVNOSTI DA ZNA KOJI SU OTROVI PRISUTNI U PROIZVODIMA I HRANI KOJU KORISTI

UPOZORENJA O MOGUĆIM ŠTETNIM UČINCIMA KEMIJSKIH PESTICIDA NA LJUDSKO ZDRAVLJE I OKOLIŠ POTPUNO SU NEADEKVATNA

LJUDSKO PRAVO NA IZBOR ALTERNATIVNIH SREDSTAVA BEZ PESTICIDA JE NARUŠENO

NEISPRAVNE MJERE ZAŠTITE

ODOBRENJA I OBNOVE dodjeljuju se na temelju neobjavljenih studija 'sigurnosti' koje financira industrija.

NEOVISNE STUDIJE objavljene u recenziranim časopisima ne uzimaju se u obzir.

PRODULJENJA ODOBRENJA za godinu dana ili više dodjeljuju se često automatski.

PRIVREMENA ODOBRENJA mogu se izdati za pesticide koji su još uvijek u fazi procjene.

KANDIDATI ZA ZAMJENU su pesticidi za koje se zna da su vrlo opasni po zdravlje, ali su ipak dopušteni dok se ne proizvede alternativa.

„SIGURNOSNE RAZINE“ opasnih ostataka kemijskih pesticida u hrani (Maximum Residual Levels - MRLs) čisto su teoretske i temelje se na pojedinačnim tvarima, a ne i na njihovim kombinacijama kako se te tvari najčešće pojavljuju u hrani.

„SIGURNOSNI“ TESTOVI uključuju neprihvatljivo mučenje stotina različitih životinja.

ZABRANAMA opasnih pesticida treba godinama da dospiju na snagu i ni tada se ne provode odmah.

ODSTUPANJA se mogu koristiti kako bi se zaobišle zabrane.

RIZICI ZA PČELE, DRUGE OPRAŠIVAČE I PTICE nisu uključeni u brojnim primarnim upozorenjima o opasnosti koja su dio označavanja pesticida u EU.

NAVODNE KORISTI pesticidnih proizvoda snažno promoviraju proizvođači i zakonodavci, kao i mnoge vlade, regionalne i lokalne vlasti, zdravstvene vlasti, agronomi kao i prodavači krajnjih proizvoda.

KORISNICI PESTICIDA nisu prikladno informirani ili educirani o opasnostima koje dolaze s pesticidima.

VELIKE AGRO-KEMIJSKE TVRTKE nemilosrdno se protive svakom pokušaju smanjenja upotrebe pesticida u svijetu.

ALTERNATIVE KEMIJSKIM PESTICIDIMA u poljoprivredi ne promiču se poljoprivrednicima niti vrtlarima ni na jednoj konkretnoj razini.

RAZINE PESTICIDA U LJUDIMA i njihova moguća povezanost s lošim zdravljem nisu sustavno istražene.

  • Heatwaves show UK must do more to promote cycling and walking, campaigners say

    Civil society groups argue climate crisis means transport sector needs to urgently reduce its carbon emissions

    Dozens of civil society groups have demanded the UK government do more to promote cycling and walking, after this summer’s extreme heat exposed the desperate need to decarbonise transport.

    This summer’s heatwaves and wildfires were “immediate, real-world manifestations of the climate emergency”, the groups said, making reform of transport – responsible for more carbon emissions than any other sector in the UK – an urgent priority.

  • Sand overextraction weakening riverbanks as concrete demand soars

    Research finds demand has more than doubled since 2000 and 80% of current demand comes from Asia

    A booming demand for concrete has resulted in sand and gravel being extracted from riverbeds faster than nature can replenish it. A study published in Reviews of Geophysics shows that the demand for sand and gravel has more than doubled in the last two decades, with overextraction leading to weaker riverbanks, lower groundwater levels, coastal salt intrusion and poorer water quality.

    In 2024, city-building and infrastructure projects around the world turned 28bn tonnes of sand and gravel into concrete. Researchers reviewed data on sand and gravel extraction going back to 1974 and have shown that since 2000 demand has more than doubled, with more than 80% of current demand coming from Asia, supporting urban development and road-building across China and India in particular. They found much of the material was being extracted from rivers across Asia and Africa. Data on extraction is scarce but where it does exist the researchers showed that extraction often exceeded natural sediment replacement severalfold.

  • Mood-boosting benefits of birdsong drowned out by traffic noise, study finds

    Even low levels of traffic noise can negate the benefits of listening to natural sounds, researchers say

    Hearing the trill or whistle of a bird while going about daily life is well known to boost people’s mood. But a new study suggests the psychological benefits of hearing birdsong are being threatened by traffic noise.

    Researchers found that even low levels of traffic noise negatively affected the benefits to wellbeing that could otherwise be derived from listening to natural sounds.

  • Call to ban marmot hunting in France as campaigners say they are ‘killed for fun’

    Protests and petitions planned amid growing concerns over impact of climate crisis on numbers of Alpine rodent

    Animal rights campaigners are gearing up for protests and petitions aimed at persuading the French government to ban the hunting of Alpine marmots.

    Open season on the rodents, members of the squirrel and groundhog family, begins in September, a few weeks before they go into a long winter hibernation.

  • Country diary: A farm that’s a pocket rocket of rewilding – and a success in the face of opposition | Amy-Jane Beer

    Asturias, Spain: Wild Finca is thrilling in its ecological abundance, and was created in just eight years despite countless obstacles

    On a rocky 13-hectare pocket in the foothills of the Picos de Europa, Luke Massey and Katie Stacey are raising children, dogs, cattle, chicken, ducks, geese and eyebrows. In their eight years here, the farm they call Wild Finca has become a mass of scrub, with scattered large trees and dozens of clearings that Luke calls fields, but which look more like tiny irregular glades, riddled with trails and hemmed all around by the blackthorn, gorse and bramble that has sprung up around the tumbled remains of drystone walls.

    If Wild Finca is a forever home to the Massey-Staceys, it is a whole world to nature. Witness the butterflies and wasp spiders, the snakes, lizards, hedgehogs and sparrows, and the thousand-piece cricket orchestra that performs each evening as the glow-worms light up. It offers denning and roosting sites for foxes, pine martens, badgers and 17 species of bat, feeding opportunities for roe deer and wild boar, several species of eagle and vulture, and a pit stop for others such as the nightingale I heard singing in early morning mist.

  • Climate damage would obliterate any economic benefits of new North Sea fields, analysis shows

    Exclusive: Economic harm of CO2 pollution from Rosebank and Jackdaw forecast to far outweigh any boost to UK

    The climate damage caused by developing the Rosebank and Jackdaw oil and gas fields under consideration by the UK government would destroy their economic benefits many times over, according to an analysis.

    It estimates the economic damage caused by the carbon pollution from the oil and gas produced would be between £119bn and £336bn in the coming decades, compared with the £28.7bn in value to the UK estimated by Adura, the fossil fuel company promoting the new fields.

  • US building twice as much gas-fired capacity as China in AI boom, analysis finds

    There has been a 76% increase in under-construction gas-fired projects amid ‘frenzy’ to build more datacenters

    The US has surged ahead of China in the building of new gas-fired power generation, largely to feed a boom in artificial intelligence (AI) that is adding vast amounts of planet-heating emissions, a new analysis has found.

    For decades, China’s rapid economic growth has seen it outpace the US in the addition of new gas power generation but a recent “frenzy” in datacenter construction for AI has reversed this, said Global Energy Monitor (Gem) in its new report.

  • ‘I love rats but we can’t live with them’: the headache of rising rodent populations around the world

    Robert Corrigan has been dealing with the ‘smart’ rodents all his life – and believes there are better solutions to deal with the growing infestation in the world’s cities

    “The rodents have paid for every single bill I’ve ever had – every mortgage, every car payment, every pint of Guinness,” says Dr Robert Corrigan. “It’s been a great ride and I’m still at it.”

    New York-based Corrigan is one of the most respected voices in the world of rodentology. Now in his 70s, he has devoted his entire adult life to studying rats and our relationship with them.

  • We asked our climate reporters to highlight one idea for positive change. We got a chronicle of global transformation

    There are countless initiatives around the world that can inspire people and spur them into action. Amid the devastation of the climate crisis, our journalists strive to highlight these stories of hope

    The news is very often about the bad things (especially if you’re on the Guardian’s environment desk). Wildfires, floods, tipping points, billionaires making huge profits and buying themselves island refuges for the apocalypse … And yet, ticking along beside that is the steady pulse of what the rest of humanity is doing in response to the climate crisis. From housing developments with no cars to buildings made out of hemp, all over the planet people are ploughing ahead and changing their neighbourhoods and cities and the world.

    But as news stories typically need to be about new developments or things people didn’t previously know about, it can be hard to cover all those brilliant initiatives being undertaken in the background – no matter how cheering they are. Which is why, back in 2023, we decided to ignore the usual rules about what constitutes “news” and start writing about them anyway. Readers, we knew, would like to hear about them.

  • Climate-saving wonder – or €240m vanity bauble that ages like milk? The rocks set to hit Rotterdam docks

    MVRDV – the firm behind Marble Arch Mound – says Rotterdam ROCKS! will inspire visitors to live sustainably. But in an era when the greenest building is the one that already exists, this tottering cairn looks set to misfire

    ‘It looks like something Shrek would throw up,” sniffed one online commentator, unflatteringly comparing Rotterdam ROCKS!, the recently unveiled proposal for a waterfront site in Europe’s largest port, with the vomitings of a cartoon ogre. Designed by Dutch architectural firm MVRDV, which gave London the supremely underwhelming Marble Arch Mound in 2021, Rotterdam ROCKS! (the use of EMPHATIC CAPITALS connoting an in-your-face energy) is the winner of a major architectural competition intended to create “a new world wonder”.

    But instead of a modern Hanging Gardens of Babylon or contemporary Colossus of Rhodes, MVRDV’s super slick renderings depict a pile of artificial “rocks” (or ROCKS!) stacked together in a humongously scaled tottering cairn, wreathed in suspiciously luxuriant foliage and sluiced by a preposterous waterfall.
