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.

Uspjeh hvarske djece, Eco Hvar zahvaljuje!
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!

  • Firework noise limit should be drastically cut to protect wild animals, UK government told

    Ministers urged to go further than proposed cut to 110 decibels to ease acute stress on birds and others 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.

  • Great Britain’s worst-ever bluetongue season ‘a major animal welfare crisis’

    British Veterinary Association president tells MPs surge in cases putting farmers under severe pressure and stress

    The worst bluetongue season on record has been a major animal welfare crisis in Great Britain, MPs have been told, putting farmers under “severe emotional stress”.

    Bluetongue, a viral disease that affects sheep, cattle and goats, can cause fever, lesions, stillbirths and death. The tongue may go blue and protrude from the mouth.

  • How penguin poo is making Antarctic snow melt faster

    Researchers find the birds’ guano feeds algal blooms that absorb significantly more solar energy

    Penguin poo is making the Antarctic snow melt faster, a study shows. As temperatures rise, penguins are waddling closer to the south pole, with potential for this previously unrecognised phenomenon to affect a wider area.

    Snow algae are tiny single-celled plants that make a home in some of the coldest places on Earth. When nutrients are scarce, the algae produces red pigments to protect itself from the sun and slow growth.

  • Kashmir’s potato pits are vanishing – and generations of knowledge could be buried for ever

    Farmers in Gurez store their harvests underground to last the Himalayan winter. As the practice fades, local varieties and handed-down skills are disappearing too

    Hajra Begum rolls a potato in her hands, checking its skin for cuts, soft spots and signs of rot. After a day harvesting in her family’s field in Chorwan, a remote mountain village in Gurez, Indian-administered Kashmir, she is sorting the crop for winter storage. Some of the potatoes will feed her family through the cold months; others will be saved for planting in spring.

    “It should be perfect for planting,” she says. “If you keep a bad potato, you will waste the whole next year.”

  • Country diary: This small bridge is becoming the site of so many stories | Derek Niemann

    Frome, Somerset: Dippers and fritillaries and pink campion … there is a deep satisfaction in accumulating associations with a regular haunt

    Enchantment surely fills the eyes of first-time visitors who come upon this little stone bridge over the stream. Do they marvel at the judgment of hands in building, wedding rock with rock, face against face? Do they arrive on a brighter morning than this, one on which sunbeams chase each other under the arch and cast sparkling reflections of water on the underside? Does their pulse quicken watching the brook breaking out of its tunnel and skittering over the pebbled bed, hastening through even in times of sluggish drought?

    Me? I see a bird that isn’t there.

  • UK ministers told not to engage formally with Indian mega-zoo after lobbying

    Guardian and Mongabay reveal approaches to officials and MPs on behalf of Vantara zoo ahead of UK-chaired Cites meeting on endangered animal imports

    British government ministers were told not to engage formally with Vantara, the controversial mega-zoo run by the Indian billionaire Anant Ambani, after lobbying efforts by the private animal sanctuary in the run-up to a UK-chaired meeting on the trade in endangered species, according to documents.

    This week, the UK heads a 32-country committee meeting in Geneva of Cites, the United Nations body that regulates trade in endangered species. The meeting will examine how India has responded to compliance concerns about imports of endangered animals.

  • Brazil publishes first global ‘roadmap’ for phasing out fossil fuels

    Cop30 host sets out steps to break link with coal, oil and gas as it aims to move focus from negotiating to implementing

    All countries can start to break their dependence on fossil fuels now without needing to wait for new technologies or economic changes, Brazil’s government has said ahead of a global climate summit.

    Brazil, the host of last year’s UN climate conference, set out the world’s first global “roadmap” for phasing out fossil fuels on Tuesday, showing that countries could boost their economies and pull people out of poverty while breaking the link with coal, oil and gas.

  • ‘Music is the most powerful way of connecting to what’s happening’: can this album change your mind about the climate crisis?

    With globe-spanning artists – including Charlotte Church doing angry electropop – the Flow project is hoping to make an impact at this month’s Cop31

    Amid tense and long-winded negotiations, and with the future of the planet at stake, emotions can often run high at Cop climate summits. But last year, when the annual conference arrived in Brazil, one UN official was unexpectedly moved to tears by five women singing about the power of water.

    “She gave me a massive hug after the event and said, ‘We need to bring music into Cop,’” says Nikita Llerena, the project manager for Flow, a music collective that’s hoping to bring art to the centre of the climate movement. What started as a handful of musicians meeting over Zoom last year has grown into a full-length album that unites female artists from around the world, including Charlotte Church, Maxine Peake and Nadine Shah. This month, members of the collective will return for Cop31, in Turkey, where they have been promoted to a slot at Global Cultural Action’s opening event.

  • The Amazon’s canary in the coalmine: what a tropical fish can tell us about climate upheaval

    Scientist Adalberto Luis Val’s pioneering research on the tambaqui fish is revealing the effect of climate disruption in Brazil, with global implications for biodiversity and food security

    As a boy in rural São Paulo, Adalberto Luis Val used to stare into the lake where his father took him fishing and wonder how all those creatures swimming below stayed alive. One day, he netted a few, put them in a jar, and brought them home to observe. The next morning, they were all dead. Val was devastated but intrigued.

    “I needed to know how fish are able to live,” he says.
