Van Jones priča o onečišćenju uzrokovanom plastikom iz perspektive socijalne pravde. Plastični otpad, govori nam, siromašne ljude i siromašne države pogađa "prve i najgore", s posljedicama koje svi djelimo bez obzira gdje živimo i koliko zarađujemo. Na TEDxGPGP, nudi nam par smionih ideja kako možemo vratiti nazad naš odbačeni planet.

I am honored to be here,
0
4000
2000
Počašćen sam što sam ovdje,
00:21
and I'm honored to talk about this topic,
1
6000
2000
i čast mi je pričati o ovoj temi
00:23
which I think is of grave importance.
2
8000
2000
za koju smatram da je od iznimne važnosti.
00:25
We've been talking a lot about
3
10000
2000
Puno smo pričali o
00:27
the horrific impacts of plastic
4
12000
2000
zastrašujućem utjecaju koji plastika
00:29
on the planet and on other species,
5
14000
3000
ima na planet i životinje,
00:32
but plastic hurts people too,
6
17000
2000
ali plastika također šteti i ljudima,
00:34
especially poor people.
7
19000
3000
posebno siromašnim ljudima.
00:37
And both in the production of plastic,
8
22000
2000
U proizvodnji plastike,
00:39
the use of plastic and the disposal of plastic,
9
24000
3000
njenom korištenju i odlaganju,
00:42
the people who have the bull's-eye on their foreheads
10
27000
2000
oni koji koji najviše pate
00:44
are poor people.
11
29000
3000
su siromašni ljudi.
00:47
People got very upset
12
32000
3000
Ljudi su se jako uzrujali
00:50
when the BP oil spill happened
13
35000
2000
kada se dogodilo izlijevanje nafte
u Meksičkom zaljevu
u Meksičkom zaljevu
00:52
for very good reason.
14
37000
2000
i to s pravim razlogom.
00:54
People thought about, "Oh, my God.
15
39000
2000
Ljudi su mislili: "Oh, moj Bože.
00:56
This is terrible, this oil -- it's in the water.
16
41000
2000
Ovo je užasno, ova nafta -- iscurila je u vodu.
00:58
It's going to destroy
17
43000
2000
Uništit će
01:00
the living systems there.
18
45000
2000
čitavi živi svijet.
01:02
People are going to be hurt.
19
47000
2000
Ljudi će patiti.
01:04
This is a terrible thing,
20
49000
2000
Ovo je užasna stvar,
01:06
that the oil is going to hurt the people in the Gulf."
21
51000
2000
ta nafta će naškoditi ljudima u Zaljevu."
01:08
What people don't think about
22
53000
2000
Ono o čemu nisu razmišljali je:
01:10
is: what if the oil had made it safely to shore?
23
55000
3000
što da je nafta došla sigurno do obale?
01:13
What if the oil actually got where it was trying to go?
24
58000
3000
Što bi se dogodilo da je nafta došla
tamo gdje inače ide?
tamo gdje inače ide?
01:16
Not only would it have been burned in engines
25
61000
2000
Ne bi samo izgorjela u motorima
01:18
and added to global warming,
26
63000
3000
i doprinijela globalnom zagrijavanju,
01:21
but there's a place called "Cancer Alley,"
27
66000
3000
nego postoji mjesto koje se zove "Dolina Raka",
01:24
and the reason it's called "Cancer Alley"
28
69000
2000
a razlog zbog kojeg se naziva "Dolina Raka"
01:26
is because the petrochemical industry
29
71000
3000
je zbog petrokemijske industrije
01:29
takes that oil and turns it into plastic
30
74000
2000
koja koristi naftu i pretvara je u plastiku
01:31
and, in the process, kills people.
31
76000
3000
i u tom procesu, ubija ljude.
01:34
It shortens the lives of the people who live there in the Gulf.
32
79000
3000
Ona skraćuje živote ljudi koji se
nalaze ondje u Zaljevu.
nalaze ondje u Zaljevu.
01:37
So oil and petrochemicals are not just a problem where there's a spill;
33
82000
3000
Dakle nafta i petrokemikalije nisu samo
problem tamo gdje su naftne mrlje;
problem tamo gdje su naftne mrlje;
01:40
they're a problem where there's not.
34
85000
2000
one su problem i tamo gdje ih nema.
01:42
And what we don't often appreciate
35
87000
2000
Često ne cijenimo
01:44
is the price that poor people pay
36
89000
2000
žrtvu koju siromašni ljudi plaćaju
01:46
for us to have these disposable products.
37
91000
2000
kako bismo mi imali ove proizvode.
01:48
The other thing that we don't often appreciate
38
93000
2000
Druga stvar koju često ne cijenimo
01:50
is it's not just at the point of production that poor people suffer.
39
95000
3000
jest da siromašni ljudi ne pate
samo tijekom proizvodnje.
samo tijekom proizvodnje.
01:53
Poor people also suffer
40
98000
2000
Oni također pate
01:55
at the point of use.
41
100000
2000
tijekom uporabe proizvoda.
01:57
Those of us who earn a certain income level,
42
102000
2000
Oni koji imaju određeni iznos prihoda
01:59
we have something called choice.
43
104000
2000
imaju nešto što se zove izbor.
02:01
The reason why you want to work hard and have a job
44
106000
2000
Razlog zbog kojeg želite raditi marljivo i imati posao
02:03
and not be poor and broke
45
108000
2000
i ne biti siromašni i praznih džepova
02:05
is so you can have choices, economic choices.
46
110000
3000
je taj da biste imali izbora,
ekonomskih izbora.
ekonomskih izbora.
02:08
We actually get a chance to choose
47
113000
2000
Mi smo zapravo dobili priliku da odlučimo
02:10
not to use products
48
115000
2000
ne koristiti proizvode
02:12
that have dangerous, poisonous plastic in them.
49
117000
2000
koji sadrže opasnu, otrovnu plastiku.
02:14
Other people who are poor don't have those choices.
50
119000
3000
Ostali ljudi koji su siromašni nemaju takve izbore.
02:17
So low-income people often are the ones
51
122000
2000
Dakle ljudi s niskim primanjima često
02:19
who are buying the products
52
124000
2000
kupuju proizvode
02:21
that have those dangerous chemicals in them that their children are using.
53
126000
3000
koji sadrže štetne kemikalije, a
koriste ih i njihova djeca.
koriste ih i njihova djeca.
02:24
Those are the people who wind up
54
129000
2000
Ti ljudi zapravo stalno
02:26
actually ingesting a disproportionate amount
55
131000
2000
unose u sebe prevelike količine
02:28
of this poisonous plastic and using it.
56
133000
3000
ove otrovne plastike.
02:31
And people say, "Well, they should just buy a different product."
57
136000
3000
I ljudi kažu, "Pa, trebali bi jednostavno
kupiti drugi proizvod."
kupiti drugi proizvod."
02:34
Well, the problem with being poor is you don't have those choices.
58
139000
3000
Ali, problem kad ste siromašni je
taj da nemate izbora.
taj da nemate izbora.
02:37
You often have to buy the cheapest products.
59
142000
2000
Često morate kupiti najjeftinije proizvode.
02:39
The cheapest products are often the most dangerous.
60
144000
3000
Najjeftiniji proizvodi su često najopasniji.
02:42
And if that weren't bad enough,
61
147000
2000
I kao da to nije dovoljno loše,
02:44
if it wasn't just the production of plastic
62
149000
2000
da nije samo proizvodnja plastike
02:46
that's giving people cancer in places like "Cancer Alley" and shortening lives
63
151000
3000
ta zbog koje ljudi obolijevaju od raka
u mjestima poput "Doline Raka"
u mjestima poput "Doline Raka"
02:49
and hurting poor kids at the point of use,
64
154000
3000
i štete jadnoj djeci u trenutku korištenja,
02:52
at the point of disposal,
65
157000
2000
u trenutku odlaganja,
02:54
once again, it's poor people
66
159000
2000
još jednom, siromašni ljudi su ti
02:56
who bear the burden.
67
161000
2000
koji snose teret.
02:58
Often, we think we're doing a good thing.
68
163000
2000
Često, mi mislimo da radimo dobru stvar.
03:00
You're in your office,
69
165000
2000
Nalazite se u svom uredu,
03:02
and you're drinking your bottled water, or whatever it is,
70
167000
2000
i pijete svoju flaširanu vodu, ili što god
se već nalazi unutra,
se već nalazi unutra,
03:04
and you think to yourself, "Hey, I'm going to throw this away.
71
169000
3000
i mislite si, "Hej, baciti ću ovo u smeće.
03:07
No, I'm going to be virtuous.
72
172000
2000
Ne, biti ću pronicav.
03:09
I'm going to put it in the blue bin."
73
174000
2000
Odložiti ću ovo u plavi koš za recikliranje."
03:11
You think, "I put mine in the blue bin,"
74
176000
2000
Mislite si, "Stavio sam svoju (bocu) u plavi koš,"
03:13
and then you look at your colleague and say,
75
178000
3000
i onda pogledate svojeg kolegu i kažete,
03:16
"Why, you cretin.
76
181000
2000
"Zašto, bleso?
03:18
You put yours in the white bin."
77
183000
2000
bacio si svoju u obično smeće"
03:20
And we use that as a moral tickle.
78
185000
2000
I to koristimo kao moralnu packu.
03:22
We feel so good about ourselves.
79
187000
2000
Osjećamo se tako dobro u svojoj koži.
03:25
Maybe I'll feel good myself.
80
190000
2000
Možda bih se ja tako osjećao.
03:27
Not you, but I feel this way.
81
192000
3000
Ne vi, ali ja se osjećam tako.
03:31
And so we kind of have this kind of moral feel-good moment.
82
196000
3000
I tako imamo trenutak kada osjećamo
da smo postupili moralno.
da smo postupili moralno.
03:34
But if we were to be able to follow that little bottle
83
199000
3000
Ali da smo bili u mogućnosti pratiti tu malu bocu
03:37
on its journey,
84
202000
2000
na njenom putovanju,
03:39
we would be shocked to discover that, all too often,
85
204000
3000
bili bismo šokirani kada bismo otkrili da, prečesto,
03:42
that bottle is going to be put on a boat,
86
207000
2000
ta boca bude ukrcana na brod,
03:44
it's going to go all the way across the ocean
87
209000
3000
prevezena skroz preko oceana
03:47
at some expense,
88
212000
2000
uz neki trošak,
03:49
and it's going to wind up in a developing country -- often China.
89
214000
3000
i završi u nekoj zemlji u razvoju - često Kini.
03:52
I think in our minds we imagine somebody's going to take the little bottle,
90
217000
3000
Smatram da mi zamišljamo da će
netko uzeti tu malu bocu
netko uzeti tu malu bocu
03:55
say, "Oh, little bottle.
91
220000
3000
i reći: "Oh, mala boca.
03:58
We're so happy to see you, little bottle."
92
223000
2000
Tako smo sretni što te vidimo, mala boco."
04:00
(Laughter)
93
225000
2000
(Smijeh)
04:02
"You've served so well."
94
227000
3000
"Tako si dobro služila."
04:05
He's given a little bottle massage,
95
230000
2000
Mala boca ga je izmasirala,
04:07
a little bottle medal.
96
232000
2000
dobio je medalju male boce.
04:09
And say, "What would you like to do next?"
97
234000
2000
I kaže, "Što bi htjela slijedeće uraditi?"
04:11
The little bottle says, "I just don't know."
98
236000
3000
A mala boca odgovara: "Jednostavno ne znam."
04:14
But that's not actually what happens.
99
239000
3000
Ali to se zapravo ne događa.
04:19
That bottle
100
244000
2000
Ta boca
04:21
winds up getting burned.
101
246000
3000
završi u spalionici.
04:24
Recycling of plastic in many developing countries
102
249000
3000
Recikliranje plastike u mnogim zemljama u razvoju
04:27
means the incineration of the plastic,
103
252000
2000
znači spaljivanje plastike,
04:29
the burning of the plastic,
104
254000
2000
gorenje plastike,
04:31
which releases incredible toxic chemicals
105
256000
2000
koje otpušta nevjerojatno otrovne kemikalije
04:33
and, once again, kills people.
106
258000
2000
i još jednom, ubija ljude.
04:35
And so poor people
107
260000
2000
I tako siromašni ljudi
04:37
who are making these products
108
262000
2000
koji proizvode ove proizvode
04:39
in petrochemical centers like "Cancer Alley,"
109
264000
3000
u petrokemijskim centrima poput "Doline Raka",
04:42
poor people who are consuming these products disproportionately,
110
267000
2000
jadni ljudi koji pretjerano konzumiraju te proizvode,
04:44
and then poor people,
111
269000
2000
i onda se tim jadnim ljudima,
04:46
who even at the tail end of the recycling
112
271000
2000
koji se nalaze na kraju reciklaže
04:48
are having their lives shortened,
113
273000
3000
životi skraćuju,
04:51
are all being harmed greatly
114
276000
3000
svima se jako šteti
04:54
by this addiction that we have
115
279000
3000
ovom ovisnošću koju imamo
04:57
to disposability.
116
282000
2000
da koristimo stvari za jednokratnu upotrebu.
04:59
Now you think to yourself -- because I know how you are --
117
284000
2000
I sada mislite -- a znam da o tom razmišljate --
05:01
you say, "That sure is terrible
118
286000
2000
kažete: "To je uistinu strašno
05:03
for those poor people.
119
288000
2000
za siromašne ljude,
05:05
It's just awful,
120
290000
2000
Jednostavno je užasno,
05:07
those poor people.
121
292000
2000
tim siromašnim ljudima.
05:09
I hope someone does something to help them."
122
294000
3000
Nadam se da će netko učiniti nešto da im pomogne."
05:12
But what we don't understand is --
123
297000
3000
Ali ono što ne razumijemo je --
05:15
is, here we are in Los Angeles.
124
300000
2000
recimo, mi ovdje u Los Angelesu.
05:17
We worked very hard to get the smog reduction
125
302000
2000
Radili smo jako marljivo na smanjenju smoga
05:19
happening here in Los Angeles.
126
304000
2000
koji se stvara u Los Angelesu.
05:21
But guess what?
127
306000
2000
Ali pogodite što?
05:23
Because they're doing so much dirty production in Asia now,
128
308000
2000
Pošto se trenutno veoma mnogo prljave
industrije nalazi u Aziji,
industrije nalazi u Aziji,
05:25
because the environmental laws
129
310000
2000
jer zakoni za zaštitu okoliša
05:27
don't protect the people in Asia now,
130
312000
2000
ne štite ljude u Aziji,
05:29
almost all of the clean air gains
131
314000
2000
gotovo svo povećanje čistog zraka
05:31
and the toxic air gains
132
316000
2000
i smanjenje toksičnog zraka,
05:33
that we've achieved here in California
133
318000
2000
koje smo postigli ovdje u Kaliforniji
05:35
have been wiped out by dirty air coming over from Asia.
134
320000
3000
su poništena zbog zagađenog zraka
koji dolazi iz Azije.
koji dolazi iz Azije.
05:39
So, we all are being hit. We all are being impacted.
135
324000
3000
Dakle, svi se nalazimo na udaru.
To utječe na sve nas.
To utječe na sve nas.
05:42
It's just the poor people get hit first and worst.
136
327000
3000
Siromašni ljudi samo budu pogođeni prvi i najjače.
05:45
But the dirty production, the burning of toxins,
137
330000
3000
Ali prljava industrija, to spaljivanje toksina,
05:48
the lack of environmental standards in Asia
138
333000
2000
nedostatak ekoloških standarda u Aziji
05:50
is actually creating so much dirty air pollution
139
335000
3000
zapravo zagađuje zrak u tolikoj mjeri
05:53
it's coming across the ocean and has erased our gains here in California.
140
338000
3000
da on dolazi skroz preko oceana i uništava
sve naše napore ovdje u Kaliforniji.
sve naše napore ovdje u Kaliforniji.
05:56
We're back where we were in the 1970s.
141
341000
2000
Vratili smo se nazad gdje smo bili 1970tih.
05:58
And so we're on one planet,
142
343000
2000
Mi se nalazimo na jednom planetu,
06:00
and we have to be able to get to the root of these problems.
143
345000
3000
i moramo doći do korijena ovih problema.
06:03
Well the root of this problem, in my view,
144
348000
3000
Korijen ovog problema, prema meni,
06:06
is the idea of disposability itself.
145
351000
3000
je ideja odloživosti.
06:09
You see, if you understand the link
146
354000
3000
Vidite, ako razumijete vezu
06:12
between what we're doing
147
357000
2000
između onoga što radimo
06:14
to poison and pollute the planet
148
359000
2000
da trujemo i zagađujemo planet
06:16
and what we're doing to poor people,
149
361000
3000
i onoga što činimo siromašnoj populaciji,
06:19
you arrive at a very troubling,
150
364000
2000
došli ste do vrlo zabrinjavajućeg
06:21
but also very helpful, insight:
151
366000
3000
ali i vrlo obećavajućeg uvida:
06:24
In order to trash the planet,
152
369000
2000
Kako bi zagadili planet,
06:26
you have to trash people.
153
371000
2000
morate zagaditi ljude.
06:28
But if you create a world where you don't trash people,
154
373000
3000
Ali ako stvorite svijet gdje ne zagađujete ljude,
06:31
you can't trash the planet.
155
376000
2000
ne možete zagaditi ni planet.
06:33
So now we are at a moment
156
378000
2000
I tako sada u trenutku
06:35
where the coming together of social justice as an idea
157
380000
3000
gdje se socijalna pravda pojavljuje kao ideja,
06:38
and ecology as an idea,
158
383000
2000
i ekologija kao ideja,
06:40
we finally can now see
159
385000
2000
zapravo vidimo
06:42
that they are really, at the end of the day, one idea.
160
387000
3000
da su one, na kraju dana, jedna ideja.
06:45
And it's the idea that we don't have disposable anything.
161
390000
3000
A to je da nemamo ništa što možemo odbaciti.
06:48
We don't have disposable resources.
162
393000
3000
Nemamo sirovine koje se mogu odbaciti.
06:51
We don't have disposable species.
163
396000
2000
Nemamo bića koja se mogu odbaciti.
06:53
And we don't have disposable people either.
164
398000
3000
I također nemamo ljude koje možemo odbaciti.
06:56
We don't have a throwaway planet,
165
401000
2000
Nemamo planet koji možemo jednostavno baciti,
06:58
and we don't have throwaway children -- it's all precious.
166
403000
3000
nemamo djecu koju možemo jednostavno baciti
-- to je sve dragocjeno.
-- to je sve dragocjeno.
07:01
And as we all begin to come back to that basic understanding,
167
406000
3000
I dok se vraćamo natrag prema
tom temeljnom shvaćanju,
tom temeljnom shvaćanju,
07:04
new opportunities for action begin to emerge.
168
409000
3000
pojavljuju se nove prilike za akciju.
07:07
Biomimicry,
169
412000
2000
Biomimikrija
07:09
which is something
170
414000
2000
je znanost
07:11
that is an emerging science,
171
416000
2000
koja je još uvijek u razvoju,
07:13
winds up being a very important social justice idea.
172
418000
3000
ali se pokazala kao jedna vrlo bitna
ideja socijalne pravde.
ideja socijalne pravde.
07:16
People who are just learning about this stuff,
173
421000
2000
Za vas koji se tek susrećete s ovim pojmom,
07:18
biomimicry means
174
423000
2000
biomimikrija znači
07:20
respecting the wisdom of all species.
175
425000
2000
poštivanje prava svih vrsta.
07:22
Democracy, by the way,
176
427000
2000
Demokracija, usput,
07:24
means respecting the wisdom of all people -- and we'll get to that.
177
429000
2000
znači poštivanje prava svih ljudi
-- a doći ćemo i do toga.
-- a doći ćemo i do toga.
07:26
But biomimicry means respecting the wisdom of all species.
178
431000
3000
Ali biomimikrija znači poštivanje prava svih vrsta.
07:29
It turns out we're a pretty clever species.
179
434000
3000
Ispada da smo mi vrlo pametna vrsta.
07:32
This big cortex, or whatever, we're pretty proud of ourselves.
180
437000
3000
Imamo ovu veliku moždanu koru, ili kako već,
jako smo ponosni na sebe.
jako smo ponosni na sebe.
07:35
But if we want to make something hard,
181
440000
3000
Ako žarko želimo nešto napraviti,
07:38
we come up, "I know, I'm going to make a hard substance.
182
443000
3000
ako poželimo; "Aha! Napraviti ću neku čvrstu tvar.
07:41
I know, I'm going to get vacuums and furnaces
183
446000
3000
Shvaćam, morati ću nabaviti stroj
za vakumiranje i peći,
za vakumiranje i peći,
07:44
and drag stuff out of the ground
184
449000
2000
iščupati neke stvari iz zemlje
07:46
and get things hot and poison and pollute,
185
451000
3000
i jako ih zagrijati, otrovati i zagaditi,
07:49
but I got this hard thing.
186
454000
3000
ali dobiti ću tu čvrstu stvar.
07:52
I'm so clever,"
187
457000
2000
Kako li sam samo pametan",
07:54
and you look behind you, and there's destruction all around you.
188
459000
3000
i pogledate iza sebe, razaranje vas okružuje.
07:57
But guess what? You're so clever,
189
462000
2000
Ali pogodite što? Vi jeste pametni,
07:59
but you're not as clever as a clam.
190
464000
2000
ali ne poput školjke.
08:01
A clamshell's hard.
191
466000
2000
Školjka je čvrsta.
08:03
There's no vacuums. There's no big furnaces.
192
468000
3000
Tu nema vakuuma. Tu nema velikih peći.
08:06
There's no poison. There's no pollution.
193
471000
2000
Tu nema otrova. Tu nema zagađenja.
08:08
It turns out that our other species
194
473000
2000
Ispada da su druge vrste
08:10
has figured out a long time ago
195
475000
2000
već davno shvatile
08:12
how to create many of the things that we need
196
477000
3000
kako napraviti mnoge stvari koje mi trebamo
08:15
using biological processes that nature knows how to use well.
197
480000
3000
pomoću bioloških procesa koje priroda koristi.
08:18
Well that insight of biomimicry,
198
483000
2000
To je pogled u biomimikriju,
08:20
of our scientists finally realizing
199
485000
2000
iz koje su naši znanstvenici konačno shvatili
08:22
that we have as much to learn from other species.
200
487000
2000
da imamo jako puno toga za naučiti od ostalih vrsta.
08:24
I don't mean taking a mouse
201
489000
2000
Ne mislim da uzmemo miša,
08:26
and sticking it with stuff.
202
491000
2000
i vršimo pokuse nad njim.
08:28
I don't mean looking at it from that way -- abusing the little species.
203
493000
3000
Ne mislim da promatramo na taj način
-- mučenjem malenih životinja.
-- mučenjem malenih životinja.
08:31
I mean actually respecting them, respecting what they've achieved.
204
496000
3000
Trebamo ih poštovati, poštovati to što su postigli.
08:34
That's called biomimicry,
205
499000
2000
To se zove biomimikrija
08:36
and that opens the door
206
501000
2000
i to nam otvara vrata
08:38
to zero waste production,
207
503000
2000
prema proizvodnji bez otpada,
08:40
zero pollution production --
208
505000
2000
proizvodnji bez zagađenja --
08:42
that we could actually enjoy
209
507000
2000
tako da bismo mogli zapravo uživati
08:44
a high quality of life, a high standard of living
210
509000
2000
visoku kvalitetu života, visoki standard življenja
08:46
without trashing the planet.
211
511000
2000
bez da zagađujemo planet.
08:48
Well that idea of biomimicry,
212
513000
3000
Ta ideja biomimikrije,
08:51
respecting the wisdom of all species,
213
516000
2000
poštivanje prava svih vrsta,
08:53
combined with the idea
214
518000
2000
zajedno s idejama
08:55
of democracy and social justice,
215
520000
2000
demokracije i socijalne pravde,
08:57
respecting the wisdom and the worth of all people,
216
522000
3000
poštivanje prava i vrijednosti svih ljudi,
09:00
would give us a different society.
217
525000
2000
donijeti će nam drugačije društvo.
09:02
We would have a different economy.
218
527000
2000
Imali bismo drugačiju ekonomiju.
09:04
We would have a green society
219
529000
2000
Imali bismo zeleno društvo
09:06
that Dr. King would be proud of.
220
531000
2000
na koje bi Dr. King bio ponosan.
09:08
That should be the goal.
221
533000
2000
To nam treba biti cilj.
09:10
And the way that we get there is to first of all recognize
222
535000
3000
A to ćemo uspjeti tako da prije svega prepoznamo
09:13
that the idea of disposability
223
538000
3000
da ideja odbacivanja
09:16
not only hurts
224
541000
2000
ne šteti samo
09:18
the species we've talked about,
225
543000
2000
vrstama o kojima smo pričali,
09:20
but it even corrupts our own society.
226
545000
3000
nego i našem društvu.
09:23
We're so proud to live here in California.
227
548000
3000
Tako smo ponosni što živimo ovdje u Kaliforniji.
09:26
We just had this vote, and everybody's like,
228
551000
2000
Upravo smo imali glasanje, i svi si misle,
09:28
"Well, not in our state.
229
553000
3000
"Ne u našoj državi.
09:31
I don't know what those other states were doing."
230
556000
3000
Ne znam što ove ostale države rade."
09:34
(Laughter)
231
559000
2000
(Smijeh)
09:36
Just so proud.
232
561000
2000
Jednostavno smo ponosni.
09:38
And, yeah, I'm proud, too.
233
563000
3000
Da, i ja sam ponosan.
09:41
But California,
234
566000
3000
Ali Kalifornija,
09:44
though we lead the world in some of the green stuff,
235
569000
3000
iako smo vodeći po nekim ekološkim pitanjima,
09:47
we also, unfortunately, lead the world
236
572000
2000
mi smo također, nažalost, vodeći u svijetu
09:49
in some of the gulag stuff.
237
574000
3000
po nekim jako lošim stvarima.
09:52
California has one of the highest incarceration rates
238
577000
3000
Kalifornija ima jednu od najvećih stopa zatvorenika
09:55
of all the 50 states.
239
580000
2000
među svih 50 država.
09:57
We have a moral challenge in this moment.
240
582000
3000
U ovom trenutku imamo moralni izazov.
10:00
We are passionate about rescuing
241
585000
3000
Strastveni smo u vezi spašavanja
10:03
some dead materials from the landfill,
242
588000
2000
odbačenih materijala s odlagališta,
10:05
but sometimes not as passionate
243
590000
2000
ali ponekad nismo tako strastveni
10:07
about rescuing living beings, living people.
244
592000
3000
u vezi spašavanja živih bića, živih ljudi.
10:10
And I would say that we live in a country --
245
595000
3000
I rekao bih da živimo u zemlji koju čini--
10:13
five percent of the world's population,
246
598000
2000
5 posto svjetske populacije,
10:15
25 percent of the greenhouse gases,
247
600000
3000
25 posto stakleničkih plinova,
10:18
but also 25 percent of the world's prisoners.
248
603000
2000
ali i 25 posto svjetskih zatvorenika.
10:20
One out of every four people locked up anywhere in the world
249
605000
3000
Svaka četvrta osoba u zatvorena bilo gdje u svijetu
10:23
is locked up right here in the United States.
250
608000
2000
se nalazi upravo ovdje u SAD-u.
10:25
So that is consistent with this idea
251
610000
3000
I to podupire ovu ideju
10:28
that disposability is something we believe in.
252
613000
3000
da je odbacivanje nešto u što vjerujemo.
10:31
And yet,
253
616000
3000
I još,
10:34
as a movement
254
619000
2000
kao pokret
10:36
that has to broaden its constituency,
255
621000
2000
koji treba proširiti svoje djelovanje,
10:38
that has to grow,
256
623000
2000
koji treba rasti,
10:40
that has to reach out beyond our natural comfort zone,
257
625000
3000
koji treba dosegnuti izvan granica naše zone udobnosti,
10:43
one of the challenges to the success of this movement,
258
628000
3000
jedan od izazova ovog projekta,
10:46
of getting rid of things like plastic and helping the economy shift,
259
631000
3000
za rješavanje stvari poput plastike i pomaganje
ekonomiji da se promijeni,
ekonomiji da se promijeni,
10:49
is people look at our movement with some suspicion.
260
634000
3000
su ljudi koji na ovaj projekt gledaju sa sumnjom.
10:52
And they ask a question, and the question is:
261
637000
3000
Pitaju se:
10:55
How can these people be so passionate?
262
640000
3000
Kako ovi ljudi mogu biti tako strastveni?
10:58
A poor person, a low-income person, somebody in "Cancer Alley,"
263
643000
3000
Siromašna osoba, osoba s niskim primanjima,
netko iz "Doline Raka",
netko iz "Doline Raka",
11:01
somebody in Watts,
264
646000
3000
neko iz Wattsa,
11:04
somebody in Harlem, somebody on an Indian reservation,
265
649000
2000
netko iz Harlema, netko iz Indijanskih rezervata,
11:06
might say to themselves, and rightfully so,
266
651000
2000
možda si misle, s pravom,
11:08
"How can these people be so passionate
267
653000
3000
"Kako ovi ljudi mogu biti tako strastveni
11:11
about making sure
268
656000
2000
u tome da
11:13
that a plastic bottle
269
658000
2000
ta plastična boca
11:15
has a second chance in life,
270
660000
2000
ima drugu priliku u životu
11:17
or an aluminum can has a second chance,
271
662000
3000
ili aluminijska limenka ima drugu priliku,
11:20
and yet, when my child gets in trouble
272
665000
2000
a opet, kada moje dijete upadne u nevolje
11:22
and goes to prison,
273
667000
2000
i ode u zatvor,
11:24
he doesn't get a second chance?"
274
669000
2000
ono ne dobije drugu priliku?"
11:26
How can this movement be so passionate
275
671000
2000
Kako ovaj pokret može biti tako strastven
11:28
about saying we don't have throwaway stuff, no throwaway dead materials,
276
673000
3000
i tvrditi da nemamo stvari za bacanje,
nemamo materijala za bacanje,
nemamo materijala za bacanje,
11:31
and yet accept
277
676000
2000
i istovremeno prihvatiti
11:33
throwaway lives and throwaway communities like "Cancer Alley?"
278
678000
3000
živote koji se odbacuju i odbačene
zajednice poput "Doline Raka?"
zajednice poput "Doline Raka?"
11:36
And so we now get a chance
279
681000
3000
I tako dobivamo priliku
11:39
to be truly proud of this movement.
280
684000
3000
da budemo uistinu ponosni na ovaj pokret.
11:42
When we take on topics like this,
281
687000
2000
Kada pričamo o temama poput ove,
11:44
it gives us that extra call
282
689000
2000
to nam daje dodatni poriv
11:46
to reach out to other movements
283
691000
2000
da dođemo do drugih pokreta,
11:48
and to become more inclusive and to grow,
284
693000
3000
postanemo još aktivniji i rastemo,
11:51
and we can finally get out of this crazy dilemma that we've been in.
285
696000
3000
i da konačno možemo izaći iz ove
lude dileme u kojoj smo bili.
lude dileme u kojoj smo bili.
11:55
Most of you are good, softhearted people.
286
700000
2000
Većina vas su ljudi dobra, meka srca.
11:57
When you were younger, you cared about the whole world,
287
702000
3000
I kada ste bili mladi, brinuli ste se o cijelom svijetu,
12:00
and at some point
288
705000
2000
i u nekom trenutku
12:02
somebody said you had to pick an issue,
289
707000
2000
netko vam je rekao da odaberete problem
12:04
you had to boil your love down to an issue.

da morate usmjeriti svoju ljubav
prema jednom problemu.
prema jednom problemu.
12:06
Can't love the whole world --
291
711000
2000
Ne možete voljeti cijeli svijet --
12:08
you've got to work on trees,
292
713000
2000
morate raditi na drvećima,
12:10
or you've got to work on immigration.
293
715000
2000
ili morate raditi na imigraciji.
12:12
You've got to shrink it down and be about one issue.
294
717000
3000
Morate smanjiti opseg na jedan problem.
12:15
And really, they fundamentally told you,

2000
"Hoćeš li zagrliti drvo,
12:20
or are you going to hug a child? Pick.

ili ćeš zagrliti dijete? Izaberi.

12:28

301
733000
3000
shvatite da je cijela stvar povezana,
12:31
and luckily most of us are blessed to have two arms.
302
736000
2000
i srećom, većina nas je blagoslovljena
s dvjema rukama.
