Uspjeh hvarske djece, Eco Hvar zahvaljuje!

Objavljeno u Zanimljivosti

Djeca do kojima je stalo čine veliku razliku u svijetu oko njih. Sjajno je što ih imamo na Hvaru.

U kolovozu 2019. iznenadili su nas, počastili i oduševili ovdje u Eko Hvaru ponudivši nam zaradu od sajma/izložbe organizirane za pomoć napuštenim životinjama na Hvaru. Projekt je bio zamisao samo dviju djevojčica - Kai Balent (10) i Tonke Boellard (8).

Sve je krenulo jednog dana kada su na plaži zamjetile mnogo smeća oko sebe. Skupile su ga i počele smišljati na koje bi još načine mogle pomoći boljitku otoka Hvara. Budući da su ljubiteljice životinja, privukla ih je ideja da prikupe novac za životinje lutalice. Odlučno su se namjerile na ovaj izazov organiziravši radionicu sa svojim vršnjacima i prijateljima kako bi izradili raznovrsne ručno-rađene tvorevine koje će prodavati na predloženom sajmu. U malo i kratko proizveli su prekrasnu kolekciju šarenih i sa stilom izrađenih suvenira.

Isto tako, osmislile su i promotivne materijale za plakate i internet.
Kai, Tonka i njihove kolege minimalnu su pomoć tražili od odraslih. Jedina intervencija odraslih bilo je obračanje Eko Hvaru od strane Kaine mame Jelene kako bi nas upitala želimo li prihvatiti zaradu od sajma/izložbe. To je bilo 14. kolovoza kada su svi materijali već bili pripremljeni a projekt spreman. Naravno da smo bili oduševljeni.
Sajam se održao u prostorijama PlarFORme* u gradu Hvaru u ponedjeljak 18. kolovoza. Vrlo brzo se premjestila iz izložbene prostorije na rivu ispred zgrade gdje je privukao pažnju velikog broja dobronamjernika, lokalnog stanovništva i posjetitelja. Potpredsjednica Eko Hvara kratko se obratila s opisom rada udruge te izrazila duboku zahvalnost svima koji su bili uključeni u projekt a osobito dvoje mladih pokretača.

Projekt je svakako bio uspješan. Kada nam je Jelena opisivala predloženi sajam, kazala je kako vjerojatno neće prikupiti mnogo novca. Sajam je, što od prodaje, što od donacija, uprihodio 2.346,40 kn. Zarada je slijedećeg dana uplaćena na račun Eko Hvara na kojemu predstavlja značajan doprinos našoj udruzi koja u potpunosti ovisi o donacijama.

Svi smo bili i više nego zahvalni što je ova sjajna dječja inicijativa usmjerena ka Eko Hvaru obzirom da je ovo tek drugi događaj za prikupljanje sredstava koji se održao u našu korist, nakon jednako uspješnog “Koncerta za nas” održanog u Jelsi 14.10.2018. godine.
Najveće zadovoljstvo dobili smo od energije, entuzijazma i vještine koju su pokazala ova vrlo sposobna djeca. Apatija u Hrvatskoj može se sažeti u jednom izrazu “to je tako” što nagovještava kontekst “nije vrijedno truda, ne možemo ništa promijeniti”.
Svojim primjerom Kai, Tonka i njihovi suradnici pokazali su da ne prihvaćaju svi mladi ovakav način razmišljanja, naprotiv! Spremni su uložiti mnogo napora u pozitivne promjene i dobra djela. Dobro je znati da je naša budućnost sigurna u njihovim rukama!

  • High-stakes talks involving 190 countries begin on Monday as world grapples with El Niño supercharged by fossil fuels

    The Cop31 summit must produce progress, “a tangible outcome... that people can see is real”, its host has said as scores of world leaders and representatives of close to 190 countries gather in Turkey for the UN climate talks.

    The high-stakes meeting begins on Monday, as countries around the world grapple with the strongest El Niño weather system on record, supercharged by fossil fuels, which is set to take hundreds of thousands of lives and cause damage costing trillions of dollars.

  • Ineos is driving exports with potentially far-reaching environmental and social repercussions

    “My children started getting sick,” says Lois Bower-Bjornson,a campaigner at the Clean Air Council in Washington County, Pennsylvania.

    “My oldest son had rashes all over his body. His ears, his eyelids, everywhere. My youngest had terrible nosebleeds, it was so bad that he became anaemic and would almost pass out. He would wake up bleeding.”

  • Delegates from more than 190 countries are gathering in Turkey for climate talks, but the US will be absent

    As the planet faces unprecedented human-caused global heating, heads of government are meeting for the next fortnight for the latest round of climate talks. We ask why it matters and what is likely to be achieved.

  • Naturalists divided over potential impact of proposals to increase number of wild raptors in England and Wales

    White-tailed eagles reintroduced into England and Wales imperil endangered seabird populations and risk wiping out some colonies, ecologists and conservationists are warning.

    Puffins, guillemots, razorbills, fulmars and kittiwakes are among the birds for which breeding populations could collapse if large numbers of white-tailed eagles are released, according to some academics and conservationists.

  • Ahead of Cop31, climate change minister dismisses concerns about whether Australia as a major producer can keep the world moving away from fossil fuels

    Australia has been urged to set aside support for its near US$100bn fossil fuel export industries and fight for a global agreement to move away from coal, gas and oil as its climate change minister, Chris Bowen, leads negotiations between nearly 200 countries at UN talks this week.

    Delegates will gather in the Turkish Mediterranean resort city of Antalya on Monday for Cop31, two weeks of climate talks held amid geopolitical turmoil, with conflict in the Middle East driving an oil price crisis that has raised living costs across the globe.

  • Mumbai facility is part of Reliance Industries, owner of world’s biggest oil refinery and funder of controversial mega-zoo

    The Prince of Wales’s Earthshot prize will host its forthcoming annual awards ceremony at a venue owned by the billionaire Ambani family conglomerate, drawing criticism from conservationists over their fossil fuel businesses and their foundation’s controversial mega-zoo.

    A spokesperson for the Earthshot prize, which awards £1m to five winners every year to invest in conservation work, confirmed to the Guardian and the news outlet Mongabay that this year’s ceremony will be held at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai on 17 November.

  • Its key temperature goal has been missed but experts say the agreement is still proving a vital moral compass for progress

    It was a curious way of conducting negotiations. Ahead of the 2025 climate summit, in the Amazonian port of Belém last year, the Brazilian hosts had taken off the table the issue that most had assumed would be at its heart: concrete plans from each country laying out exactly what they would be doing to cut their greenhouse gas emissions.

    Brazil was insisting, instead, that these plans – the bedrock of the Paris agreement – were the business of national governments and not up for negotiation. “In that case, it will be a very short Cop,” one seasoned global south negotiator told the Guardian shortly before, reflecting a widespread unease. “There is nothing to negotiate.”

  • What are the relationships and dominant interests in play, as the summit kicks off after a bitter row over its hosting?

    Hosting Cop was a key pledge from Australia’s prime minister, Anthony Albanese in 2021, while in opposition, before his successful election campaign. But arcane rules meant the country had to wait its turn to bid and was then embroiled in an angry row with Turkey over the hosting. The final compromise put Australia in charge of the negotiations which will take place in the Turkish city of Antalya. The bitter taste left by the row lingers and Australia has seemed to some a rather half-hearted host. The country’s media has been much quieter on Cop than previous host countries, and although Albanese will speak at the opening of the leaders’ segment, he is unlikely to stay long.

  • Humans have always been awed by the power and beauty of lightning. How does the experience and understanding of it change in a warming world?

    In a rock shelter in Kakadu national park in the north of Australia is an image of a being the Bininj people call Namarrkon. His flesh bleached away to reveal the bones beneath, he wears stone axes on his head, elbows and knees, and wields a great band of lightning that runs from his ankles up, over his head.

    Namarrkon is one of the most important of the Bininj creation ancestors: his journey from the coast to the Arnhem Land escarpment helped shape the landscape. And in the great storms that arc and rumble across the landscape during the buildup and the wet season, it is Namarrkon who splits the clouds with his stone axes to create the thunder and lightning and release the life-giving rain.

  • The UK is 14th most light-polluted country, but in south-west England the veil is lifted at the dark skies festival

    “It’s just mind-blowing,” says the astronomer and teacher Jo Richardson. She is standing in Exmoor national park talking about Saturn, the first planet she ever saw through a telescope.

    But it is not the cosmic colour of the planet that Richardson is drawn to, nor its mysteries – it is the vastness. “Saturn, on average, is 800m miles away,” she says, the equivalent to travelling the circumference of the Earth 32,000 times. “You can see it through a telescope here. That’s just nuts.”
