Introduction

 




What is nature? Does this word mean anything to you?
Nature has always provided us with everything we can imagine. Food, water, fresh air, etc. And what do we really do for nature? The absence of a deep emotional connection between humans and the natural world is the root of the environmental crisis. We, us humans have nothing less and nothijg worse than purposefully destroying it. Can wr close our eyes for a moment and imagine what the world will look like if we continue this behaviour? Sooner or later we will have to pay for our actions. We finally need to be aware of the consequences. Start thinking in a broader way, to live more sustainable. This is the reason why our Erasmus+ project ,,LLLS'' ( Leran, Live, Love, Sustainable!) was born. 17 people from 4 countries,( Croatia, Romania, Macedonia and Slovakia) gathered together in Samobor, Croatia to pose some problems regarding these issues we are facing, and to search for ways of living better and more sustainable life. The aim of the project is to spread awareness among the people about some common problems we are facing. We hope to gain more knowledge and to be able to spreas it to the others, so they would be aware also. By doing so, we increase the chances of being conscious and accountable about our actions.

4Rs

Before reading this diary it is very important to define some terms about sustainibility, known also as the 4Rs - reuse, renew, reduce and recycle. Every one of them is a bit different and specific in its own way.  Renewing is repairing old things instead of buying new ones. For example fixing the old electronics, sewing up or fixing the clothing. Reusing represents repeated use of components or elements. It's about choosing to reuse the materials rather then throwing them away. We made small flowers from old clothing but with a little bit of imagination and initiative I am sure you could do anything you want. Reducing means decreasing the materials we are using on daily basis. Reducing use of water, car transportation, usage of electricity, leftovers, packages, plastic materials or clothing.  Many people don't know the difference between recycling and separating. Separating stands for dividing waste into plastic, paper and glass. Recycling is making things from materials that...

Organic ferilizer from food waste

Turning food waste into organic fertilizer creates economic and enviromental benefits, which can improve soil health, help reduce erosion and improve water quality.  By composting your unwanted food waste, you are energizing the soil for future plant growth. Organic fertilizer is the best food for the soil, it is a good source of nutrients and mironutrients for the plants which are essential for them to grow.  Even when all actions have been taken to use your wasted food, certain inedible parts will still remain and can be turned into compost to feed and nourish the soil. Like yard waste, food waste scraps can also be composted. What is compost? Compost is created by combining organic waste such as wasted food, yard trimmings and manures, in the right ratios into piles, rows or vessels. You can add bulking agents such as wood chips which will accelerate the brekdown of organic materials. Mature compost is created using high temperatures to destroy pathogens and weed seeds that...

I CAN DO IT more sustainable

In today’s day and age, learning how to be more sustainable is mandatory in achieving an increased quality of life.          As a consequence of human expansion, our planet is suffering from daily amounts of non-recyclable waste, for example plastic waste, food and water waste, energy waste, compulsive shopping, etc.—           Everything we use and buy has an environmental footprint and consequence. If you would like to put your daily choices under control, it’s time to get informed and take action in order to save the planet, because we only have one.             Also, in case you think individual effort doesn’t cound, let’s rethink this argument.               According to the EPA, the average person in the U.S. produces  4.9 pounds of trash per day , as of 2018. That's equates to about 147 pounds of trash per person per month, or 1,788.5 pounds per year. That's up ...
