Z baklami na Celovško in z rdečimi kartoni nad »mestne terence«

Ljubljana, 9. avgust 2008 – Organizaciji CIPRA Slovenija in Focus društvo za sonaraven razvoj sta z dogodkom Ogenj v Alpah sodelovali v vsealpski okoljevarstveni akciji. Dogodek je s prižiganjem bakel opozoril na vse bolj nevzdržno stanje v prometu v Sloveniji, še posebej pa na problematiko urbanega in tovornega prometa. Voznikom terenskih vozil so z akcijo ‘Stop terencem!’ razdelili tudi nekaj rdečih kartonov in jih tako opozorili na potratnost teh vozil.

Ljubljana, 9. julij 2007 – Včeraj je Evropska komisija sprejela paket z naslovom "Zelenemu transportu nasproti" (1), ki vključuje dolgo pričakovano strategijo za zaračunavanje okoljskih in družbenih stroškov v transportu. Paket vključuje tudi predlog revizije direktive o evrovinjetah, katerega cilj je odpraviti pravne ovire, ki preprečujejo zaračunavanje stroškov onesnaževanja in zastojev, ki jih povzročajo tovorna vozila.

Iz Focus društva so danes ministru Podobniku poslali poziv za ukrepanje Slovenije pri prilagajanju na posledice podnebnih sprememb v državah v razvoju.

Focus društvo za sonaraven razvoj je ministru Podobniku posredovalo stališča do podnebno-energetskih tem, ki jih bodo evropski okoljski ministri obravnavali na Svetu za okolje 5. junija 2008.

Focus društvo za sonaraven razvoj sodeluje v vseevropski kampanji Oglašuj CO2! in na letošnji dan okolja pripravljamo predstavitev kampanje javnosti.

Vabimo vas na kratko predstavitev kampanje, ki bo 5. junija ob 10. uri v info točki Okoljskega centra na Trubarjevi 50 v Ljubljani.

Namen kampanje je opozoriti na nezakonito oglaševanje avtomobilov. 99 % avtomobilskih oglasov po časopisih in revijah ter na plakatih ob cestah v Evropski uniji je nezakonitih, ker niso v skladu z direktivo 1999/94/EC, ki pravi, da morajo biti podatki o rabi goriva in CO2 emisijah vozil »lahko berljivi in nič manj opazni kot osnovni del informacije, ki jo [oglas] predstavlja«.

Prijazno vabljeni na predstavitev kampanje!
