“Već 2 godine pokušavamo navesti gradove da učine više za zaštitu zdravlja svojih građana”. Do sada su to učinili samo Zagreb i Ozalj.
Grad Ozalj
Zašto drugi gradovi ne brinu za zdravlje svojih građana, otkrit ćemo u sljedećoj, posljednjoj kampanji.
Poslušajte gradonačelnicu Ozlja čija razmišljanja i stavove podržavamo, te joj želimo još mnogo mandata. Uz transparentno poslovanje, napredne ideje i vođenje grada po principima kružnog gospodarstva, gradonačelnica Lipšinić je primjer čelnika kakve bismo željeli vidjeti u svim gradovima!
Intervju s gradonačelnicom Ozlja Gordanom Lipšinić i s predsjednicom udruge Zemljane staze Natalijom Svrtan o projektu “Gradovi Bez Pesticida”.
What makes Maltese more relaxed and happier than Croats?
We are located in Malta where we are working on the project “International KnowHow / DoHow for Croatia”.
Valletta
The project is backed by KAIROS MentorAndreas Wil Gerdes to boost CROATIA2.0 based on #healthyliving, #digitalization, and #empoweringpeople.
Andreas started visiting Croatia in 2017 and came up with what he calls CROATIA2.0 based on IOT (Integrity, Openness, and Transparency) as a brand and path to boost the country.

With this project, the Earth Trek Association is raising the awareness of the citizens of the Republic of Croatia about the importance of upgrading the quality of life by improving environmental conditions and ensuring the availability of healthy food.
– With this project, we want to provide the residents of Croatia (but also all other interested people, regardless of nationality, religion, gender, race and other division criteria) with an insight into the way of life that has proven to be excellent and sustainable in Malta. We want to present the positive aspects of life in Malta and translate it into the life of Croatian citizens.
Valletta
Over the last 8 years, Malta has undergone numerous changes, primarily in the attitude of people towards everyday life, towards themselves, towards their health, but also about the environment in which they live. Many Maltese have turned to food production and food preparation, choosing organic, healthy, plant-based food. It is obvious that the people of Malta give a lot of importance to the so-called alternative methods of maintaining health and invest a lot in the prevention and strengthening of the body’s capacity to heal itself and defend itself against disease and to maintain the achieved balance. This is also noticeable in the names of restaurants and projects happening in Malta, so there are restaurants and shops called Balance Bowl, Dr Juice, Pure Living, etc., all of which point to the fact that Maltese are well aware that #healthyliving is closely linked to #healthyeating. Malta is a great example of putting the #ImmunityWellness concept into practice.
Maltese also turn to yoga, meditation, connecting with nature. In this way, they heal deeply engraved traumas that often keep us stuck in situations and places that are not good for us and do not allow us to progress and develop, and ultimately result in unfulfilled and unhappy living.
Valletta
And I can say that the results in Malta are actually visible. The first thing I noticed here is that the Maltese are extremely kind and warm, in a way that is sporadically seen in Croatia. Moving aside on the street (even when the obstacle is on my side), greeting even though we don’t know each other (with the obligatory smile, of course), chatting at the bus station, warmth and benevolence, are the characteristics of Maltese that I would definitely like to portray to Croatian citizens. I was especially impressed by the kindness and accessibility of drivers in public transport, atypical for the Croatian climate, and the staff in restaurants as well as doctors in the hospital are equally friendly in ways completely different from the usual Croatian way of behaving.
Valletta
Ubiquitous nervousness, constant hustle and bustle, inability to find time for friends and socializing, feelings of heaviness and pressure, existential anxiety, are almost unknown in Malta.
Valletta by night
What ensures the Maltese such ease of living, low stress and a sense of peace we will try to discover in the coming days.
“Everything is better in Malta!” – maybe this is how this article sounds. But that doesn’t necessarily have to be the case.
I challenge you to find something we are better at than Malta!
And then to exchange the best of our sides and further improve the quality of life, both in Croatia and in Malta.
Što Maltežane čini opuštenijima i zadovoljnijima od Hrvata?
Nalazimo se na Malti gdje radimo na projektu “International KnowHow / DoHow for Croatia”.
Valletta
Projekt podržava KAIROS mentorAndreas Wil Gerdes kako bi potaknuo ostvarenje cilja HRVATSKA 2.0 temeljenog na zdravom življenju, digitalizaciji i osnaživanju ljudi. #healthyliving, # digitalization i #empoweringpeople.
Andreas je počeo posjećivati Hrvatsku 2017. godine te je osmislio ono što on naziva HRVATSKA 2.0, a temelji se na IOT konceptu (integritet, otvorenost i transparentnost) kao brandu i kao putu ka prosperitetu Hrvatske.

Udruga Zemljane staze ovim projektom podržava osvješćivanje građana Republike Hrvatske o važnosti podizanja kvalitete življenja poboljšanjem okolišnih uvjeta i osiguranjem dostupnosti zdrave hrane.
– Ovim projektom stanovnicima Hrvatske (ali i svim drugim zainteresiranim ljudima, bez obzira na nacionalnost, vjeru, spol, rasu i druge kriterije podjela) želimo pružiti uvid u način življenja koji se na Malti pokazao izvrsnim i održivim. Želimo pozitivne aspekte života na Malti predočiti i pretočiti u život hrvatskih građana.
Valletta
Tijekom posljednjih 8 godina, na Malti su se dogodile brojne promjene, prije svega u odnosu ljudi prema svakodnevici, prema sebi samima, prema svom zdravlju, ali i okolišu u kojem žive. Mnogi Maltežani okrenuli su se proizvodnji i pripremi hrane, birajući pri tome organsku, zdravu hranu biljnog porijekla. Vidljivo je da stanovnici Malte mnogo važnosti pridaju tzv. alternativnim metodama održavanja zdravlja te mnogo ulažu u prevenciju i ojačavanje kapaciteta organizma da se sam iscjeljuje i brani od bolesti te da održava postignutu ravnotežu. To je primjetno i u nazivima restorana i projekata koji se događaju na Malti, tako postoje restorani i trgovine koji se zovu Balance Bowl, Dr Juice, Pure Living, itd., što sve ukazuje na činjenicu da Maltežani dobro znaju da je zdrav život usko povezan sa zdravom prehranom. Malta je izvrstan primjer provedbe koncepta #ImmunityWellness u praksi.
Također se Maltežani okreću jogi, meditaciji, povezivanju s prirodom. Na taj način iscjeljuju duboko urezane traume koje nas često drže prikovanima u situacijama i na mjestima koja nisu dobra za nas i ne omogućuju nam napredak i razvoj, te u konačnici rezultiraju neispunjenim i nesretnim življenjem.
Valletta
I mogu reći da su rezultati na Malti zaista i vidljivi. Prva stvar koju sam primijetila ovdje jest da su Maltežani izuzetno ljubazni i susretljivi, i to na način koji je rijetko viđen u Hrvatskoj. Micanje u stranu na ulici (čak i kada je prepreka na mojoj strani), pozdravljanje iako se ne poznajemo (uz obavezan smiješak, naravno), čavrljanje na autobusnoj postaji, toplina i dobrohotnost, obilježje je Maltežana koje bih svakako voljela preslikati na hrvatske građane. Osobito me se dojmila ljubaznost i pristupačnost vozača u javnom prijevozu, netipična za hrvatsko podneblje, a jednako je ljubazno osoblje u restoranima, kao i liječnici u bolnici, na načine sasvim različite od hrvatskih uobičajenih načina ophođenja.
Valletta
Sveprisutna nervoza, neprekidna užurbanost, nemogućnost pronalaska vremena za prijatelje i druženja, osjećaj težine i pritiska, egzistencijalna anksioznost, na Malti su gotovo nepoznanica.
Što Maltežanima osigurava ovakvu lakoću življenja, nisku razinu stresa i osjećaj mira pokušat ćemo otkriti u sljedećim danima.
“Sve je bolje na Malti!” – možda ovako zvuči dosadašnji tekst. No, to ne mora nužno biti tako. Izazivam vas da pronađete nešto u čemu smo bolji od Malte!
A zatim da razmijenimo najbolje od naših strana i dodatno unaprijedimo kvalitete življenja, i u Hrvatskoj i na Malti.
Earth Trek premieres the second educational movie from the”Pesticide Effects and Sustainable Alternatives” series
Pesticides Free Towns provide their citizens with a safe and healthy environment, and also contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals
After the first educational movie with German entrepreneur based in Malta Andreas Wil Gerdes as a guest speaker, we are premiering the second movie – “Pesticides Free Towns”, in collaboration with the Association of Croatian Cities. “Pesticides Fee Towns” is a project of the organization PAN Europe that aims to connect cities and exchange experiences in the process of transition to sustainable ways of managing green areas, based on the principles of the circular economy.
The guests in the movie are the mayor of Ozalj, mr. sc. Gordana Lipšinić and the head of the City Office for Agriculture and Forestry of the City of Zagreb, Mrs. Branka Mrakužić, B. Sc., who explained why their cities decided to take a step further in preserving human health, the environment and nature.
Despite repeated calls for other Croatian cities to follow these positive examples, Zagreb and Ozalj remain the only Croatian cities that can boast of safe and #HealthyGreenSpaces.
“We made this educational movie to encourage mayors of other Croatian cities to commit to protecting the health of their citizens and to contribute to the protection of the environment and nature, as well as to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. At a time when the Covid crisis highlighted the importance of raising immunity protection from this and other diseases, living in a healthy environment is certainly of primary importance. A healthy and safe environment is also one of the basic settings for creating a tourist offer that includes “Immunity-wellness”, which is in high demand among foreign citizens. Many Croatian cities have this opportunity, we want to encourage them to use it.”said Natalija Svrtan, M. Sc., president of the Earth Trek Association.

The movie was recorded with funding from the Global Greengrants Fund and will be available for free broadcast.
Natalija is currently in Malta where she is working with Majbritt Kristensen, a circular economy expert, and Andreas Wil Gerdes, a successful entrepreneur and mentor, and other collaborators on the project “International KnowHow / DoHow for Croatia”, which aims to initiate positive change in the Republic Croatia, based on the experiences of people who have made significant changes in Malta in the last 8 years. The goal is to replicate this successful model on the Croatian situation.

Udruga Zemljane staze premijerno prikazuje drugi obrazovni film iz serije “Učinci pesticida i održive alternative”
Gradovi bez pesticida pružaju svojim građanima siguran i zdrav okoliš, a također doprinose postizanju ciljeva održivog razvoja
Nakon prvog obrazovnog filma u kojem je gostovao njemački poduzetnik sa sjedištem na Malti Andreas Wil Gerdes, u suradnji s Udrugom gradova premijerno prikazujemo drugi film – “Gradovi bez pesticida”. “Gradovi bez pesticida” je projekt organizacije PAN Europe kojem je cilj povezivanje gradova i razmjena iskustava u procesu prijelaza na održive načine upravljanja zelenim površinama, temeljene na načelima kružnog gospodarstva.
Gosti u filmu su gradonačelnica Ozlja, mr. sc. Gordana Lipšinić i Voditeljica odjela za poljoprivredno zemljište u Uredu za poljoprivredu i šumarstvo Grada Zagreba, gđa. Branka Mrakužić, dipl. ing agr., univ. spec., koje su nam ispričale zašto su njihovi gradovi odlučili napraviti korak dalje u očuvanju zdravlja ljudi, okoliša i prirode.
Branka MrakužićGordana Lipšinić
Premijera filma održat će se na konferenciji “cITy UPGRADE” koju organizira Udruga gradova, 10.09.2020 u 10:45 sati, te na YouTube kanalu udruge Zemljane staze u isto vrijeme, na sljedećoj poveznici: https://youtu.be/IWFV9kCRKWY.
Unatoč ponovljenim pozivima i ostalim hrvatskim gradovima da slijede ove pozitivne primjere, gradovi Zagreb i Ozalj i nadalje ostaju jedini hrvatski gradovi koji se mogu pohvaliti sigurnim i zdravim zelenim površinama. #HealthyGreenSpaces
“Ovim obrazovnim filmom želimo potaknuti gradonačelnike ostalih hrvatskih gradova da se obvežu zaštititi zdravlje svojih građana i doprinijeti zaštiti okoliša i prirode, kao i ciljevima održivog razvoja.
“U vrijeme kada je Covid-19 kriza naglasila važnost podizanja imuniteta kako bismo se zaštitili od ove, ali i od drugih bolesti, život u zdravom okolišu zasigurno je od primarne važnosti. Zdravo i sigurno okruženje također je jedna od osnovnih postavki za stvaranje turističke ponude koja uključuje “Imunitet-wellness”, a koji je među stranim građanima vrlo tražen. Mnogi hrvatski gradovi imaju savršene postavke za kreiranje ovakve turističke ponude, želimo ih potaknuti da iskoriste ovu mogućnost.”, rekla je Natalija Svrtan, mag. ing. agroekologije, predsjednica udruge Zemljane staze.

Natalija Svrtan iz udruge Zemljane staze / Earth Trek upozorava na opasnosti nezdrave prehrane i najavljuje edukativni video u kojem gostuje poduzetnik Andreas Wil Gerdes
Natalija Svrtan u edukativnom filmu “Učinci pesticida na zdravlje ljudi i okoliš” “Vekerica”, VTV, 12.08.2020.
U emisiji se govori o značenju pojma “zdrava hrana”, odnosno, razgovara se o tome koje uvjete hrana treba zadovoljiti da bi na naš organizam imala pozitivan utjecaj te o obrazovnom filmu snimljenom sredstvima organizacije Global Greengrants Fund. Hrana opterećena toksinima iz pesticida organizmu čini više štete nego koristi, zato trebamo tražiti i konzumirati isključivo organsku, neštetnu hranu.
Covid-19 kriza pomaknula je fokus na važnost podizanja obrambenih sposobnosti organizma, a značajan čimbenik u tim nastojanjima predstavlja i zdrava hrana.
The global impact of pesticide use has long been too much of a burden on the environment and nature, and especially on human health
In order to raise the awareness of the citizens of the Republic of Croatia about the effects of pesticides on human health and the environment, we recorded 3 educational movies, with support from Global Greengrants Fund.
The first of them is bilingual, in Croatian and English, in order to reach as wide an audience as possible, and it will be premiered on the Earth Trek https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfBaq3SooW2PVUU0aYrN5igNGO’s Youtube channel on Thursday, August 6, 2020. at 10:00 a.m.
The guest of the first show is the Malta based German entrepreneur Andreas Wil Gerdes, who brought ideas for the recovery and progress to Croatia and connected with Croatian entrepreneurs and activists.
Andreas is interested in bringing progress to Croatia, with ideas and innovative solutions that are simple and scalable.
#AndreasWilGerdes
In the interview, he talks about the importance of boosting health/ immune systems. He shares his experiences and believes in Croatia’s unique potential e.g. living a healthy and happy life. He paid special attention to the Covid-19 crisis.
“The goal of filming these educational movies is not to make money, but only to reach as many viewers as possible, in order to raise citizens’ awareness of the consequences of pesticide use, and encourage relevant institutions to react quickly and adapt to European trends, and enacting the laws and strategies which are protecting human health, nature and environment,” said Natalija Svrtan, the president of the Earth Trek NGO.
Udruga Zemljane staze snimila je 3 edukativne emisije o učincima pesticida i o održivim alternativama
Globalni utjecaj upotrebe pesticida već dugo vremena predstavlja preveliko opterećenje okolišu i prirodi, a osobito zdravlju ljudi
Da bismo podigli razinu osviještenosti građana Republike Hrvatske o učincima pesticida na zdravlje ljudi i na okoliš, snimili smo 3 edukativne emisije.
Prva od njih je dvojezična, na hrvatskom i engleskom jeziku, kako bi se obuhvatila što šira publika, a bit će premijerno prikazana na Youtube kanalu udruge Zemljane staze u četvrtak, 06.08.2020. u 10:00 sati.
Gost prve emisije je njemački poduzetnik Andreas Wil Gerdes sa sjedištem na Malti, koji je u Hrvatsku donio ideje za oporavak i napredak te se povezao s hrvatskim poduzetnicima i aktivistima.
Andreas je zainteresiran za napredak u Hrvatskoj, s jednostavnim i mjerljivim idejama i inovativnim rješenjima.
#AndreasWilGerdes
U intervjuu govori o važnosti jačanja zdravstvenog / imunološkog sustava. Dijeli svoja iskustva i vjeruje u jedinstveni potencijal Hrvatske, npr. u mogućnost življenja zdravim i sretnim životom. Posebnu pozornost posvetio je Covid-19 krizi .
Video je snimljen sredstvima organizacije Global Greengrants Fund i bit će besplatno dostupan za emitiranje.
“Cilj snimanja ovih edukativnih videa nije zarada, već isključivo dopiranje do što većeg broja gledatelja, kako bi se podigla svijest građana o posljedicama upotrebe pesticida, te potaknulo relevantne institucije na brzu reakciju i prilagođavanje europskim trendovima, te usklađivanje sa zakonima i strategijama koje za cilj imaju zaštitu zdravlja ljudi, prirode i okoliša.”, rekla je Natalija Svrtan, predsjednica udruge Zemljane staze.
Largest reset for the planet directs our focus to the immune system
Sunshine, nature, and healthy food – a perfect setup for health tourism
“Covid-19
offers Croatia the largest opportunity to boost tourism, targeting
immunity wellness – addressing all who wants to recharge by
combining nature, sunshine and healthy food.
“, says Andreas
Wil Gerdes,
who initiated the idea of the „immunity
wellness”.
Andreas often visits Croatia and is familiar with Croatian natural
beauties and Croatia’s big potential.
„Croatia
has a unique combination of sunshine, nature and the potential to
grow healthy food.”,
says Andreas.
Antonio Svrtan
Living
in most unusual times, being closed indoor to protect ourselves and
other people from
contracting the Covid-19 virus, we are bringing to the attention the
importance of our immune system.
The
lack of physical activity, lack of fresh air, and especially the lack
of sunlight needed to create D3 vitamin which is crucial in the
prevention of many diseases, will decrease the body’s natural defense
capacity. Lots
of people will suffer from different consequences and medical
conditions, and will need to recuperate.
Covid-19
crisis has made us aware of many moments and many aspects of living
that passed unnoticed through our lives, so many people are
considering the lessons they have learned during this crisis. The
health and ability of our organisms to fight the diseases are shown
to be shifted to the top of the priority lists.
Taking
into account medical recommendations for boosting the immune system,
we realize that Croatia is a perfect spot for recovering and for
maintaining a healthy life. With
its untouched natural beauty, plenty of sunshine and fresh air, we
have a perfect base to design a unique and attractive touristic offer
– Immunity boosting tourism.
„At
a time of paradigm shift, we should seize the opportunity to build up
the capacity of our country to boost the economy through the sector
which is known to be Croatia’s biggest contributor – tourism.
The touristic offer should be customized according to the current
events and demands. The Covid-19 crisis will tailor the demand for
future years. People are now more than ever aware of the need to
recover from their daily routines and stressed lives, of the
importance to have an efficient immune system, and of the need to
spend their leisure time in energy-boosting surrounding.
This
offer will attract people craving for sunshine
and outdoor activities and are investing in their health.
We already have beautiful nature and lots of sunshine, the only thing
that is missing is localy grown organic food, which is crucial for
any programs including health promotion. Equally important is to
preserve our natural resources, to keep them free of toxins. Croatia
has rare combination of geographical and climatological advantages
for growing organic food, we must exploit it, but in a sustainable
manner, following the rules of the circular economy.”, says
Natalija Svrtan from the organization Earth Trek.
