Udruga Održivi otok

Objavljeno u Zanimljivosti

Jedna izuzetna i sjajna inicijativa!

"Dragi prijatelji udruge Održivi otok,
Bliži se kraj 2015. godine, intenzivne i produktivne za OO u svakom smislu. Uspjeli smo iz ničega napraviti svašta, putovali smo od Cipra do Španjolske ali nismo zaboravili srediti Hvarske puteve. Blizu smo (samo)zapošljavanju kroz projektne aktivnosti udruge, čime bi se ostvario jedan od dugoročnih ciljeva.
odrzivi otok za mlade
Na pomolu je Pokret otoka; 1. međuotočna inicijativa na našim prostorima, ali ne i u Europi. Nakon što se umrežimo unutar granica, ništa nas ne sprječava da jedrimo i dalekim morima, upoznamo ostale otočne kulture i učinimo ovaj život još zanimljivijim sebi ali novoj generaciji mladih kojima u današnje vrijeme treba otvoriti put ka svim ovim lijepim stvarima u životu.
Hvala što ste na bilo koji način sudjelovali u našem radu, pratite nas i podržavajte i dalje jer spremamo još mnogo toga sada kad znamo nešto više nego prije godinu dana; a što nas je više, i mogućnosti su veće...budite dio tih promjena koje želite vidjeti!

Ovim putem vas obavještavamo o dvije velike novosti u radu udruge Održivi otok:
 
1.  Nakon 2 godine rada na dnevnoj bazi i nekoliko odrađenih nacionalnih projekata te internacionalnih edukacija, udruga Održivi otok može sa zadovoljstvom konstatirati kako je u svoju lokalnu zajednicu investirala više od 70.000kn putem Erasmus + programa, Zaklade Kajo Dadić, INA Zeleni Pojas, te Ministarstva regionalnog razvoja i fondova Europske unije.
Na taj način ostvarili smo preduvjete za traženje uredskoga prostora u mjestu Jelsa, te isti dobili na korištenje na dan 7.12.2015. u jednoj od kancelarija unutar zgrade "Depadansa" gdje ćemo nastaviti raditi na povećanju kvalitete života na otocima kroz kulturna, društvena i ekološka događanja. Svoj rad i dalje zasnivamo na volonterskoj bazi, ali s planom zapošljavanja jedne mlade osobe unutar udruge početkom 2016. putem mjere "Mladi za zajednicu" sufinancirane od strane HZZ-a, te konstantnim radom na pronalasku ostalih izvora financiranja putem projektnih aktivnosti nešto ozbiljnijeg karaktera.
Kancelarijski prostor udruge Održivi otok biti će širom otvorenih vrata za sve otočane, a razlog tome je proširenje uredskih djelatnosti na javnu djelatnost imena: LOKALNI INFORMATIVNI CENTAR JELSA.
Otvorenje Lokalnog informativnog centra biti će u nešto veselijem izdanju koji je neizbježan dio održivog razvoja ako nas pitate, a poziv na otvorenje biti će vam uručen putem maila i putem fb stranice udruge Održivi otok.

2.  Udruga Održivi otok po prvi puta prima nove članove i volontere, i to putem on-line obrasca koji možete vidjeti na kraju ovog teksta. Na taj način želimo stvoriti bazu članova i volontera koji će pratiti i podržavati naš rad te sudjelovati u kreiranju budućih aktivnosti. Kroz rad udruge Održivi otok želimo pomoći svim individualcima ili bilo kojem obliku udruženih osoba (udruge,sportski klubovi i sl.) u pronalasku pravog načina da svoje ideje pretvore u smisleni projekt i to putem stručnog savjetovanja ili traženjem informacija na pravom mjestu. Osim toga, putem članarina osigurati ćemo uredno poslovanje vođenja udruge te na taj način postati neovisni i samoodrživi što je također jedan od osnovnih ciljeva udruge Održivi otok.

‘ETNO HVAR FESTIVAL’

Povijest u kamenu privukla brojne turiste

Turistička zajednica općine Jelsa, u suradnji s udrugama “Humac”, “Održivi otok” i “Trim”, a uoči svetkovine sv. Ivana i Pavla, na Humcu je organizirala prvi “Etno Hvar festival”, koji je u ovo eko-etno selo (nekoć pastirsko naselje) privukao brojne turiste.

humac fest lineup

Uz mještane Vrisnika i cijelog otoka Hvara, na nedavno obnovljenom trgu sredstvima EU fondova (Adristorical lands), fešti su se odazvali gosti koji su inače odani Otoku sunca, članovi Udruge “Pjover” i “Tartajun”, te Planinarskog društva “Hvar”, Biciklističkog kluba “Timun”, izviđači OIP-a “Posejdon” iz Splita...

Festival je otvoren pozdravnim govorom općinskog načelnika Nikše Peronje. Posjetitelji su razgledali jedinstvenu Etnozbirku “Humac”, da bi potom krenuli u razgledavanje obližnje Grapčeve špilje, jednog od najstarijih nalazišta hvarske kulture i civilizacije na Jadranu, te novootvorene destilerije aromatičnih ulja na tom putu.

Inače, domaćini su se pobrinuli za prezentaciju tradicionalne kuhinje (slana riba, pršut i sir, jela od divljači i janjetina sa žara), a uz autohtone specijalitete gosti su degustirali i kvalitetna hvarska vina s užeg lokaliteta. Prodavali su se “otočni proizvodi”, upriličena je izložba slika hvarskih umjetnika Pjera Grgičevića i Antuna Tonča Carića, što je popraćeno neizostavnim tradicionalnim napjevima pučkih pjevača iz Vrisnika.

Međutim, u izvrsnom gastroscenariju sudjelovao je i Radovan Marčić, kojeg su svi prepoznavali kao jednog od članova žirija u popularnom gastroshowu “MasterChef Hrvatska”.

‘Ovakva sela naše su blago’

U večernjim satima događaj je uveličao najpoznatiji hrvatski alpinist, putopisac i redatelj dokumentarnih filmova i emisija Stipe Božić koji je predstavio knjigu i film “Ja, Mate svjetski”.

Prije toga nazočne su u ime organizatora pozdravili Irena Dorić (“Održivi otok”) i Ivan Grgičević, koji je podijelio zahvalnice za iznimne zasluge u osnivanju Udruge “Humac” ili za darivanje eksponata Etnozbirci, a dobili su ih Vinko Carić (posthumno), te Mili Razović, Đurđica Otržan i Marija Gurdulić.

– Ovako sačuvana sela kao što je Humac, zapravo su naše blago, jer sve više zaboravljamo kako smo nekada živjeli i kako bismo mogli živjeti, pogotovo sada u spoju s turizmom, kazao je Božić.

MIRKO CRNČEVIĆ

ŠKRLEC: Otoci su prirodni i ljudski kapital
humac fest davor nada
Hrvatski otoci su izniman prirodni i ljudski kapital koji moramo sačuvati i dodatno obogatiti, upravo koristeći sve ono što nam pruža EU. Imamo sjajnih primjera zemalja koje su prije nas ušle u EU, jer su one baš zahvaljujući sredstvima i politici EU-a uspjele vratiti, odnosno revitalizirati, pojedine kulturne i tradicionalne vrijednosti koje su možda bile zapostavljene. Dobar je i primjer Humca koji je iskoristio pretpristupne fondove za svoju inicijalnu prepoznatljivost – poručio je naš EU parlamentarac Davor Škrlec (ORaH), koji je s mještanima i posjetiteljima "pretresao" temu "Europska strategija 2020. za održivi razvoj hrvatskih otoka".

  • Four-year study warns destabilised marine food webs could jeopardise food security by 2050

    Warming seas around the UK and the wider north-east Atlantic could destabilise marine food webs, weaken ocean health and jeopardise food security by 2050, according to a four-year study.

    Scientists who projected the impact of climate breakdown on four key groups of marine life crucial to maintaining ocean ecosystems in the region said their results challenged assumptions that in middle latitudes, such as the UK, marine biodiversity was likely to increase across the board.

  • With parts of region served by company in severe drought still, regulators give it six weeks to come up with action plan

    Repeated failures by South West Water to tackle leaks are putting customers at higher risks of losing water supplies as parts of the region remain in severe drought, regulators have said.

    In a warning to the privatised company that serves 1.8 million people across the south-west of England, the regulators said it had been failing to meet targets to reduce leaks and repair burst pipes for seven years.

  • A stricken container ship shed tonnes of tiny pellets called nurdles on the west coast. Five years on, locals are counting the cost to marine life and livelihoods

    On the beach in Pamunugama, on Sri Lanka’s west coast, women in uniform work under the scorching sun. They sift through rubbish washed ashore, searching among the usual litter for something much smaller: tiny plastic pellets.

    Five years ago, in May 2021, this same beach was swamped with pellets as smoke rose over the Indian Ocean.

  • Events that deliver about half of global rainfall are getting shorter but more intense, with wide-ranging implications

    The world’s wettest rainstorms produce about half of the global annual rainfall. Now a study shows that these intense downpours have become shorter in duration and fewer in number, compressing the same amount of rain into quicker and more extreme events, with implications for flood and drought risk.

    Chiyuan Miao and colleagues from Beijing Normal University in China analysed daily measurements between 1980 and 2022 from more than 19,000 rain gauges around the world. They found that an average of about half of the world’s rainfall fell during about nine multi-day storms, delivered over a cumulative time of about 28 days.

  • We were promised a panacea for the climate crisis and a way to save our food system. So why is nobody firing up the chicken vats? I went to find out

    On 5 August 2013, a man and a woman ate a burger. Not just any burger: a world-historic burger, made from cattle cells grown in a laboratory by Mark Post, a professor of vascular physiology at Maastricht University in the Netherlands. The burger had taken two years to produce and cost €250,000 (about £210,000 at the time), money furnished by the Google co-founder Sergey Brin. Now it was being tasted in public for the first time at Riverside Studios in London, at an event attended by 200 members of the press and livestreamed to thousands.

    To make this particular burger, Post had extracted stem cells from the shoulder muscle of a living cow, then cultivated them in plastic containers filled with a nutrient-rich supplement called foetal bovine serum, which is derived from cow foetuses. The cells eventually became 20,000 strands of tissue, which in turn became a single 140g patty. Post believed that beef produced this way had the potential to dramatically reduce greenhouse-gas emissions and slow the climate crisis. Raising cattle for consumption requires massive amounts of land and water – and massive amounts of feed grown at a high environmental cost. He projected that global demand for meat would soon outstrip our ability to produce it the old-fashioned way, at which point our food systems would become unsustainable. But that didn’t have to mean a mass recalibration of our consumption habits or a global shift away from red meat. Post and his team had found another way.

  • Liverpool: Their summer flowers provide the name and the fame, but this species is arguably at its best now

    Beech mast crunches underfoot, and the occasional conker catches the sunlight, tiny beacons leading me to Camp Hill, south Liverpool, with its distant views over the Mersey estuary. Goldfinches erupt from desiccated knapweed, and a flock of pink-footed geese fly overhead. For once, the birds are not my goal, but a tree: the tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera).

    Every autumn, the Camp Hill tulip tree flaunts its flamboyant presence: the Lady Gaga of the parkland. Named because its flowers resemble a tulip flower, and its leaves a tulip silhouette, few can resist its tulle lace canopy of butter-gold leaves. The luminescence is enhanced by the sheen of its leaf cuticles, and the fissured trunk adds yet more sensory impact. Yet this year there is a strangeness: instead of the golden monotone you would expect of this moment, there is a messy mix of different shades. Might the summer drought have disrupted the pigment battle between anthocyanins and carotenoids?

  • Ministers urged to go further than proposed cut to 110 decibels to ease acute stress on birds and other animals

    Campaigners are calling on the UK government to protect the welfare of wild animals by cutting the maximum noise level of fireworks sold to the public from 120 to 90 decibels.

    The Center for Wild Animal Welfare (CWAW) has said lowering the limit to 90dB – which is about one-eighth of the loudness of 120dB – would help to protect millions of wild animals from acute stress by reducing the area over which a firework disturbs surrounding wildlife.

  • From energy prices to datacenters, climate became a cost-of-living issue – and a winning one

    Climate-forward Democrats swept into power on Tuesday night as a blue tsunami flipped the Senate, House and several governor’s races. Voters were laser-focused on affordability, and experts said Democrats succeeded in linking cost-of-living concerns with rising energy prices, datacenters and, to some extent, the climate crisis. They may have even created a path for a “new climate politics”.

    The results delivered a sharp rebuke of Donald Trump, who started a war with Iran that raised gas pump prices across the country and exposed the fragility of fossil fuels, all while the US oil industry earned $130bn in profits since the war began. Household energy costs soared, driven by various factors including constraints on renewables, climate disasters and a datacenter boom.

  • The BLVD is home to 250 enterprises, from banks, tattoo shops and restaurants to museums and a performing arts centre

    Passing through the Mojave desert on State Route 14, going by landscapes Hollywood uses to represent alien planets, a driver might not expect to find a walkable, tree-lined boulevard.

    But there are nine beautiful, leafy blocks on West Lancaster Boulevard, a piece of what used to be Highway 14. They were redeveloped as part of a mixed-use urban streetscape in the city of Lancaster, California in 2010.

    The BLVD, as it’s been rebranded, is home to 250 public and private enterprises, from banks, tattoo shops and restaurants to museums, a performing arts centre and a public library. City Hall is just a block south.

    The city invested $11.5m (£8.5m) to transform a busy thoroughfare into an inviting public space. The three lanes in the centre of the former five-lane road were replaced by a series of tree-lined ramblas – Spanish for “avenue” and “watercourse,” because dry stream beds served as streets in early cities.

    The redesign was planned and funded by the city of redevelopment agency. Within four years of completion, it had generated more than $270m in economic output, attracted $130m in investment, created hundreds of jobs and prompted the building or renovation of hundreds of housing units, according to the city.

    The revitalisation has also created more intangible benefits, residents say. The city centre the feels like a gathering space, they said — somewhere where they can feel like part of a community.
