OUR SMALL COMMUNITY WORK

While speaking about volounteering we agreed that it would be nice and valuable to do some work in local environment in order to make it nicer. While seeking for needs we found out a story about local wells. There are three wells that local people were using for drinkable water before pluming arrived. After that for some period of time none was taking care about it. A year ago, NGO Pozitiva Samobor started a journey to give those wells former glory. Therefore we decided to put some effort in that story. We took initiative with clear idea of making it cleaner and easier approchable. After collecting appropriate tools we left towards wells. As soon as we arrived a pile of trash was found near by. Half an hour later there was no more :) 


Also we cleaned water path so water from spring can float and be nicer to fetch some fantastic natural water. Also surrounding was cleaned from leafs and big stones. 


We also cleaned and widened path towards wells, so local citizens can approach them easier. 


After all work was done it was time for some reward. So we collected plenty of fallen dry branches to bring back to Greenville for the nice evening enjoyment arround fire pit with guitar celebrating nature and out initiative. Good vibes that we felt is hard to describe so here our story will end but we hope we tackeld your imagination and woken up some will to do something similar in your own reality...

Tools used in the project

In order to achieve a remarkable result throughout some activities that involve people with a common aim , there have to be implemented some tools that would help in learning and understanding a topic, so that is why some magic tools are important for a project that provides sustainability, too. Furthermore, these are the ones used in our LLLS journey: Firstly, some icebreakers aka activities to get to know each other For example, making a circle with the whole group so each person, one by one, says his/her name and associates it with an animal and a gesture. Another game is the Clock game: the one that help people meet and discuss on a topic for about 3-4 minutes for every hour of a clock (12 meeting per general) Secondly, to start the team-building there is another activity by staying in a circle with eyes closed and trying to take 2 random hands and then untying the formed knot of hands connecting to the nature and learning more about what it means, what everybody is doin...

Biggest way to help out nature

 We think that one of the biggest problems that surrounds the whole wide world is mass cutting of trees, especially without planting new ones for the sustainability for the environment. Our video and pantomi demonstrates what we think is the best way to combat this. 

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 ...
