Various actions are aimed at drawing people’s attention to the danger that threatens life on Earth due to the increase in global pollution, and in this way, they are trying to encourage them to contribute to the preservation of the environment. Many think that protecting the Earth is some monumental tasks that should be done by “superheroes”. There are many things we can all do, because even small changes can have a big impact.
College “CEPS-Center for Business Studies” Kiseljak is aware of the importance of preserving the environment, and influences the change in the awareness of its students and staff about sustainable development and environmental protection. CEPS is a member of many international organizations and networks, such as Global waste cleaning network, ELTIS, CIVINET, etc. CEPS has implemented several projects in the field of renewable energy sources (installation of solar panels on the roof of buildings), and currently participates in projects based on sustainability and environmental protection. Therefore, the staff and students of the CEPS Kiseljak High School also contributed through certain activities on the occasion of Earth Day.
As part of the marking program, a flower planting campaign was carried out in front of the high school building. Then a round table was organized on the topic “We can all do something to protect our planet”, and at the very beginning the anthem of the planet Earth was sung. On that occasion Prof. VŠ Hamza Šehović, head of the study program Energetics, held a lecture on the importance of applying sustainable energy to the preservation of the planet Earth. The professor emphasized the use of biogas and solar water heating in residential units.
After that, Dr. sc. Nermin Palić, head of the Traffic/Transport study program, held a presentation on the importance of sustainable mobility for the environment. During his presentation, he explained the concept of 15-minute cities in more detail. It is a practice where, instead of using a car, residents, moving on foot or by bicycle, can do all the most important activities and satisfy their most important needs in up to 15 minutes (e.g., going to kindergarten, school, college, health center, to the store, pharmacy, etc.).
With these initiatives, every inhabitant of planet Earth can make a change, and change starts with all of us.
Različitim akcijama nastoji se skrenuti pažnja ljudi na opasnost koja prijeti životu na Zemlji zbog porasta globalnog onečišćenja, te ih se na taj način, pokušava potaknuti da i oni doprinesu očuvanju okoline. Mnogi misle da je zaštita Zemlje neki monumentalni zadatak koji trebaju raditi “superheroji”. Postoji mnogo stvari koje svi možemo učiniti, jer čak i male promjene mogu imati veliki uticaj.
Visoka škola “CEPS-Centar za poslovne studije” Kiseljak svjesna je važnosti očuvanja okoliša, te utječe na promjenu svijesti svojih studenata i osoblja o održivom razvoju i zaštiti okoliša. CEPS je član mnogih međunarodnih organizacija i mreža, kao što su Global waste cleaning network, ELTIS, CIVINET itd. CEPS je proveo nekoliko projekata iz područja obnovljivih izvora energije (postavljanje solarnih panela na krov uzgrade), a trenutno sudjeluje u projektima koji se temelje na održivosti i zaštiti okoliša. Stoga su osoblje i studenti Visoke škole CEPS Kiseljak dali svoj doprinos i kroz određene aktivnosti povodom Dana planeta Zemlje.
U okviru programa obilježavanja ispred zgrade visoke škole provedena je akcija sadnje cvijeća. Zatim je organizovan okrugli stol na temu „Svi možemo učiniti nešto da zaštitimo našu planetu“, pri čemu je na samom početku upriličeno intoniranje himne planete Zemlje. Tom prilikom je Prof. VŠ Hamza Šehović, voditelj studijskog programa Energetika održao predavanje o Značaju primjene održive energije na očuvanje planete Zemlje. Profesor je stavio akcenat na upotrebi bioplina i sunčevog grijanja vode u stambenim jedinicama.
Nakon toga je dr. sc. Nermin Palić, voditelj studijskog programa Saobraćaj/Promet održao prezentaciju o važnosti Održive mobilnost za životnu sredinu. Prilikom izlaganja detaljnije je objasnio konceptu 15-minutnih gradova. Riječ je o praksi gdje stanovnici umjesto upotrebe automobila, krećući se pješice ili biciklom u vremenu do 15 minuta mogu obaviti sve najvažnije radnje i zadovoljiti svoje najvažnije potrebe (npr. odlazak do vrtića, škole, fakulteta, doma zdravlja, do prodavnice, apoteke, i dr).
Ovim inicijativama svaki stanovnik planete Zemlje može učiniti promjenu, a promjena počinje od svih nas.
