Više od 600 hektara plodne zemlje širom sveta, svakog sata postaje pustinja, velikim delom zbog uništenja šuma. U Srbiji ima 2,7 miliona hektara pod šumom i to čini oko 30% njene ukupne površine. Dugo se vrši neplanska i bespravna seča šume a svake godine od direktnih posledica zagađenosti vazduha u Srbiji umre u proseku 6.600 ljudi, dok se procenjuje da više od pola miliona žitelja Evrope iz istog razloga umire ranije, podaci su Svetske Zdravstvene Organizacije.

Lokalne vlasti seku drveće u gradovima, po bulevarima i trgovima, veoma često bez realne potrebe. Ložišta na čvrsta goriva, saobraćaj i industrija locirana u gradovima čine glavne uzroke aerozagađenja. Gradovi Srbije poslednjih godina spadaju u najzagađenije u svetu.

U mnogim mestima gore lokalne pobune protiv otvaranja rudnika sa prljavom tehnologijom, kao i borba protiv već postojećih zagađivača prirode ali i vazduha. Posledice po zdravlje ljudi i dece su nesagledive. Samo buđenjem svesti o potrebi da se borimo za svež vazduh i čistu prirodu, reke, očuvanje šuma, možemo našoj deci ostaviti lepše i zdravije mesto za život.

Buđenje i akcija, neka svako da svoj doprinos da postignemo cilj!

Za čiste reke, za svež vazduh i za šume!

More than 600 hectares of fertile land around the world are becoming deserts every hour, largely due to deforestation. There are 2.7 million hectares of forests in Serbia, which make up about 30% of its total area. Unplanned and illegal logging has been carried out for a long time, and every year an average of 6,600 people die from the direct consequences of air pollution in Serbia, while it is estimated that more than half a million Europeans die earlier for the same reason, according to the World Health Organization.

Local authorities cut down trees in cities, on boulevards and squares, very often without real need. Solid fuel furnaces, traffic, and industry located in cities are the main causes of air pollution. In recent years, the cities of Serbia are among the most polluted in the world.

In many places, there are local uprisings against the opening of mines with dirty technology, as well as the fight against already existing polluters of nature and the air. The consequences for the health of people and children are incalculable. Only by awakening awareness of the need to fight for fresh air and clean nature, rivers, preservation of forests, we can leave our children a more beautiful and healthier place to live.

Therefore, get up and join the action, let everyone contribute to achieving this goal!

For clean rivers, for fresh air and for forests!
