NATURE DAY activities The environmental project for children “Nature Day” continues with the activities for 2010. January was reserved for the theme “Ecology in our community”, with the main goal to teach children about Reducing, Reusing and Recycling. So one very cold Saturday morning we went to visit the enterprise for trash “Bliznak kom” which is located at the suborn of Gevgelija, close to the picnic area Dinkut. The kind personal explained us how they separate and prepare the paper and plastic for recycling, what happens afterwards with them and we could also see some of the recycling products. From the old paper one factory in Skopje makes new paper for packing, new paper bags, and they can even make new notebooks, the plastic is grained and like that can be used to make new plastic pipes, and the PET (plastic bottles) is being melted and again used for some new plastic products. What was very interesting to remember was the fact that for one plastic bottle to dissolve 450-700 years should pass. Through conversation we found out that children today are called “oil children”, because of the fact that the biggest part of the food and clothes are produced artificially, not like in the past when the resources of the nature were used on totally different way.
The care for the young is a priority Toys and cosmetics without harmful materials On December in Apollonia Hotel was held seminar on the theme Safety of the children’s toys and safety of the cosmetic products which was organized by the Association of consumers of Macedonia and financially was supported by the German association for technical cooperation. On the seminars the legal advisers of this association Mirjana Lonchar and Tatjana Tasevska promoted the brochures for the public. “Nobody in the state can guarantee you that some of the toys or cosmetic products which are on the market are 100% safe, especially not the once that come from China. That’s why the expenders should pay attention on the product and the declaration as well as best before date ”, says Tasevska. The lecture was followed by the kindergartens, the children playground centers, estheticians, associations of citizens, nongovernment organizations, and other interested parties.
