Eco Hvar

Drugačija turistička atrakcija

Objavljeno u Zanimljivosti

U utorak, 16.07., Ultra festival “spustio” se na Hvar, čiji su se stanovnici, koji se s time već dugo pate, pripremili na taj događaj. U središtu otoka istovremeno se odvijala atrakcija suprotna gore spomenutoj, a koja bi mogla pokazati put očuvanju mirnog turizma na otoku.

Drugačija turistička atrakcija
Katolička misa na poljskom jeziku vjerojatno je antiteza neobuzdanih budalaština uzrokovanih alkoholom i drogama velikog broja hvarskih party turista, lokalno zvanih “partijaneri”. Umjereniji stanovnici Hvara dugo se bore protiv ljetnog priljeva nesputanih gostiju navodeći među svojim pritužbama neprihvatljivu zbrku i buku te nepristojno odijevanje i ponašanje.

Događaj Ultra Europe koji se tri dana i noći održavao u Splitu u “Parku mladeži”, od 14.-17.07.2019., neki su proglasili uspjehom s vrlo malo incidenata te je hvaljen i dočekan raširenih ruku od strane političara i direktora turističkih zajednica. Ipak, druga strana medalje također je privukao pažnju hrvatskih medija. Javna mjesta oskvrnuta razuzdanim ponašanjem uzrokovanog drogama i alkoholom, mokrenje i pražnjenje čak i prije početka festivala (Slobodna Dalmacija, 12.07.2019.); grozan nered u Splitu nakon prvog dana Ultre (IndexHR, 13.07.2019); te droga koja je, činilo se, partijanerima bila glavna potpora tijekom splitskog dijela festivala (Slobodna Dalmacija 15.07.2019.). Događaj svakako privlači veliki broj posjetitelja (Slobodna Dalmacija 13.07.2019.) ali koliko (ako uopće) ustvari koristi donosi  jednom gradu, čije je središte na UNESCO-vom popisu svjetske baštine, vrlo je upitno.

Dalmatinski turizam tradicionalno se bazira na vrlo toplom gostoprimstvu i dugotrajnim prijateljstvima koja njeguju privatni iznajmljivači i njihovi gosti. Teškoće koje je stvorio Domovinski rat (1991.-95.) uzrokovao je raskid ovih odnosa. Dok su se neki stalni gosti nakon rata vratili, mnogi nisu. Mnogo se toga promijenilo od tada, a dalmatinski turizam iz potrebe se razvio u drugom smjeru koja uključuje ponudu glazbenih festivala velikih razmjera čija su ciljna skupina mlađi odrasli ljudi. Dalmacija ima nevjerojatno širok opseg turističkih atrakcija i njezino ekonomsko blagostanje ovisi o turizmu. Čak je možda iznenađujuće koliko se malo reklamira upravo strancima. Stoga je misa na poljskom jeziku dobar, i vrlo dobrodošao, početak.

Nadahnuta je to zamisao Don Roberta Bartošeka koji će voditi misu, svake nedjelje u 12:15, tijekom srpnja i kolovoza u župnoj crkvi u Vrisniku. Sve zasluge njemu jer on i njegovi kolege pod velikim su pritiskom na poslu zbog nedostatka svećenika na otoku - što zbog preseljenja, što zbog bolesti i umirovljenja. Don Roberta su lani doveli za župnika Pitava i Vrisnika. Vrlo se brzo smjestio i stekao poštovanje svojih župljana zbog svoje sposobnosti da se uklopi u lokalne običaje. Isto tako, uveo je neke šarmantne običaje iz svoje rodne države među kojima se posebno isticala podjela sitnih poklona lokalnoj djeci od strane uskršnjeg zeca nakon mise na Uskrs.

Don Robertove dužnosti odnedavno su proširene stoga je njegova predanost još vrijednija poštovanja. Poljski stanovnici i posjetitelji otoka Hvara oduševljeno su se odazvali, njih nekih 54 prisustvovalo je svojoj prvoj posebnoj misi, zatim preko 100 vjernika je došlo par tjedana kasnije; kad su došli oko 150 vjernika, nisu svi mogli stati u crkvi! Vjerojatno to i nije iznenađujuće obzirom da je Poljska vrlo katolička država, isto tako i vrlo bliska zajednica, a don Robert je neumoran u svojoj pastoralnoj brizi za svoje zemljake kojima je potrebna pomoć.

Na taj način je, tiho i diskretno, novi element  dodan hvarskim turističkim atrakcijama - malen ali vrijedan. Jedan koji pokazuje posebnu vrstu brige i obzira spram grupe otočkih posjetitelja. Don Robertov sastanak s otokom trebao je biti privremen, samo godinu dana. Nadajmo se da će se njegov ostanak produljiti, a isto tako da će njegova inicijativa pružanja duhovne potpore svojim zemljacima postati dugotrajna tradicija - a možda se realiziraju “mise za turiste” i na drugim jezicima?

  • Most Europeans want action to tackle climate crisis but not at any cost, poll shows

    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.

  • UK dairy farmers face further pressure as milk processor cuts prices

    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.

  • How Democrats used the midterms to turn affordability concerns into ‘green populism’

    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.

  • Country diary: This could be a case of mistaken rodentity | Nic Wilson

    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.

  • Cop31 will expose the conflicts and contradictions of the world’s fossil fuel reliance

    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.

  • Warming UK seas could ‘fundamentally reshape marine ecosystems’ – report

    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.

  • In Alaska’s capital, food comes by water, air or, most often, community sharing

    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.

  • ‘It’s kind of a melting pot’: how one US city transformed a highway into a leafy oasis

    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.

  • Lab-grown meat was supposed to save the world. What happened?

    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.
