How much is our city eco-friendly?

On Monday, 29th April 2019 the CRO eco team did the A25 task in the City Hall. In conversation with the local authorities, we should investigate how much is our city eco-friendly.

Six members of the project team (Ivona Suhić, Tina Milijaš, Luka Hacek, Tonka Igrec, Mirjam Bezak and Dina Bekić), project coordinator Draženka Kolonić and principal Karmen Hans Jalšovec attended the meeting with Sandra Malenica, deputy mayor and Draženka Dević, leader of an office for education.

We have presented our project and the activities we are doing. We have asked questions about waste at the eastern entrance to the city as well as about the possibility of setting up the city bicycles for rent. We talked about an initiative for the city to ban the use of single-use plastic before the year 2021 when it should become prohibited by law. Most of our questions are already being considered and resolved. About banning the use of single-use plastics at events in the city, such as the Špancirfest, the deputy mayor promised us to think about the proposal.

PLASTIC BAGS BAN

On 28th of December 2018, Slovenians heard some exciting news. Our government decided that all plastic bags in stores need to be paid for! This was great news because we have to start saving our planet now and not in 10 years, when it’s too late. I think it’s a great way of making people aware of how important recycling plastic bags is. Most people are already supporting complete ban of plastic bags, except the ones we use to put our fruit in because the’re necessary. But if, in the future, we will be able to find an alternative for them, we will completely ban them too.

The project was started by Greta Thunberg in Sweden.

Soon her friends and other teenagers all over the world started to join her. The 15th of March 2019 was the day people from more than 100 countries gathered and protested for better future.

Do you think so many people will make a difference? What is Planet B to you? The answers we got: - To help accomplish certain changes a...
