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.

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.

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".

  • YouGov survey finds support for tree planting and emissions taxes but opposition to air travel and fuel levies

    Europeans believe human-made climate change is real, a survey has shown, with most feeling action must be taken soon – as long as they do not have to sacrifice too much to achieve it.

    The YouGov poll of six European countries showed between 69% (Germany) and 80% (France) of respondents believed the climate was changing, with few (1%-4%) denying it and 14-20% believing it was changing, but not as a result of human activity.

  • Freshways lowers price paid to producers by 7p a litre, prompting warnings confidence in the sector is ‘at rock bottom’

    “Milk is leaving the farm at a loss,” says dairy farmer Ian Harvey, as he warns confidence in the sector is “at rock bottom”.

    Most of the UK’s dairy producers were already being paid less for their milk than it costs to produce it after a year of volatile farmgate milk prices, combined with the impact of the summer’s drought and soaring costs of vital fuel and fertiliser triggered by the conflict in Iran.

  • 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.

  • Clophill Lakes, Bedfordshire:Bank vole or wood mouse? On a series of nine-second videos, they’re not so easy to tell apart

    Bank vole or wood mouse? That is the question. I’m working my way through a series of nine-second videos from Clophill Lakes nature reserve, taking notes on how many bank voles appear in the clips. Unfortunately, I can’t tell my voles from my mice.

    The footage begins at 4.47pm, when wildlife volunteer Stephen Plummer switches on the trail camera in his mostela trap: a wooden box with a drainpipe entrance leading to a scattering of nuts and seeds. Both wood mice and bank voles star in the Clophill Saga – a rodential drama set in deciduous woodland beside old ponds – but I’m struggling to tell the two species apart, especially in the monochrome infrared light. I take notes as they enter: BV, 2BV, WM, BV. Or is it WM? I check the differences between them for the umpteenth time – 216 clips later (at 4.46am), I reckon I’ve got my eye in.

  • The move to clean electricity will form the focus of the climate summit, which begins next week in coal-obsessed Turkey. The outlook doesn’t look good

    • Don’t get Down to Earth delivered to your inbox? Sign up here

    Holding a climate conference under the presidency of one coal-obsessed country might be regarded as a misfortune for the planet – sharing it between two starts to look provocative. But at this year’s Cop31 UN climate summit in Antalya, coal exporter Australia and coal consumer Turkey will be trying to shift the focus away from dirty fossil fuels and towards clean electricity, with a target on the table to meet 35% of final energy demand from electricity by 2035.

    Will they succeed? The geopolitical outlook for Cop31 is worse than for almost any recent “conference of the parties” under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Conflicts in Ukraine, Iran and Gaza are destabilising global alliances, an unpredictable White House is sowing economic uncertainty and AI is threatening to unleash digitised chaos.

  • 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.

  • Juneau has little arable land, a short growing season and few farmers – and deep traditions of residents and the land feeding each other

    Forty miles north-west of Alaska’s capital, the highway just ends.

    At Glacier Highway’s most northern point, the pavement turns to gravel, the gravel widens into a turnaround and the tire tracks curve back the way they came. At the far end, the woods begin, a narrow hiking trail slipping toward the southern end of Berners Bay.

  • 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.

  • 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.
