Prije dvije godine, Roz Savage je dala otkaz na visoko-pozicioniranom poslu u Londonu kako bi postala prekooceanska veslačica. Samostalno je preplovila Atlantik, a ovaj je tjedan počela treću etapu veslanja preko Pacifika, kao prva žena na svijetu. Zašto to radi? Poslušajte njene razloge, duboko osobne i žurno aktivističke.
Roz Savage - Ocean rower
Roz Savage gave up her life as a management consultant to row across the Atlantic in 2005. Her mission now is to row across the Pacific, from the West Coast to Australia, raising awareness along the way of plastic pollution, climate change and eco-heroism. Full bio

Hi, my name is Roz Savage
0
1000
2000
Pozdrav, moje ime je Roz Savage
00:18
and I row across oceans.
1
3000
3000
i veslam preko oceana.
00:21
Four years ago, I rowed solo across the Atlantic,
2
6000
3000
Prije četiri godine, sama sam preveslala Atlantik,
00:24
and since then, I've done two out of three stages
3
9000
3000
i od tada, prešla sam dvije od tri etape
00:27
across the Pacific,
4
12000
2000
preko Pacifika,
00:29
from San Francisco to Hawaii
5
14000
2000
od San Francisca do Havaja
00:31
and from Hawaii to Kiribati.
6
16000
2000
i od Havaja do Kiribatija.
00:33
And tomorrow, I'll be leaving this boat
7
18000
2000
A sutra napuštam ovaj brod
00:35
to fly back to Kiribati
8
20000
2000
i letim natrag u Kiribati
00:37
to continue with the third and final stage
9
22000
2000
kako bih nastavila s trećom, završnom etapom
00:39
of my row across the Pacific.
10
24000
3000
veslanja preko Pacifika.
00:42
Cumulatively, I will have rowed
11
27000
2000
Ukupno, preveslat ću
00:44
over 8,000 miles,
12
29000
2000
preko 12,000 kilometara,
00:46
taken over three million oar strokes
13
31000
2000
zamahnuti veslima preko 3 milijuna puta
00:48
and spent more than 312 days alone
14
33000
3000
i provesti više od 312 dana sama
00:51
on the ocean on a 23 foot rowboat.
15
36000
3000
na oceanu, u sedam-metarskom čamcu.
00:55
This has given me a very
16
40000
2000
Ovo mi je pružilo
00:57
special relationship with the ocean.
17
42000
2000
vrlo posebnu vezu s oceanom.
00:59
We have a bit of a love/hate thing going on.
18
44000
2000
Imamo onaj odnos ljubavi i mržnje.
01:01
I feel a bit about it like I did about
19
46000
2000
Imam osjećaje prema njemu, kakve sam imala
01:03
a very strict math teacher that I once had at school.
20
48000
3000
jednom u školi, prema vrlo strogoj nastavnici matematike.
01:06
I didn't always like her, but I did respect her,
21
51000
3000
Nisam ju uvijek voljela, no poštovala sam ju.
01:09
and she taught me a heck of a lot.
22
54000
2000
I naučila me užasno puno toga.
01:11
So today I'd like to share with you
23
56000
2000
Danas bih s vama htjela podijeliti
01:13
some of my ocean adventures
24
58000
3000
neke od mojih oceanskih avantura
01:16
and tell you a little bit about what they've taught me,
25
61000
2000
i reći vam što su me one naučile,
01:18
and how I think we can maybe take some of those lessons
26
63000
3000
i kako mislim da možemo preuzeti neke od tih lekcija
01:21
and apply them to this environmental challenge
27
66000
2000
te ih primijeniti na izazov vezan uz okoliš
01:23
that we face right now.
28
68000
2000
s kojim smo sada suočeni.
01:26
Now, some of you might be thinking,
29
71000
2000
E sad, neki od vas možda misle,
01:28
"Hold on a minute. She doesn't look very much like an ocean rower.
30
73000
3000
"Čekaj malo. Ona ne izgleda baš kao prekooceanska veslačica.
01:31
Isn't she meant to be about this tall
31
76000
2000
Ne bi li trebala biti ovoliko visoka
01:33
and about this wide
32
78000
2000
i otprilike ovoliko široka,
01:35
and maybe look a bit more like these guys?"
33
80000
3000
možda biti sličnija ovim dečkima?"
01:38
You'll notice, they've all got something that I don't.
34
83000
3000
Primijetit ćete, svi oni imaju nešto što ja nemam.
01:43
Well, I don't know what you're thinking, but I'm talking about the beards. (Laughter)
35
88000
3000
Dobro, ne znam na što vi mislite, ali ja govorim o bradama.
01:47
And no matter how long I've spent on the ocean,
36
92000
2000
I ma koliko dugo bila na oceanu,
01:49
I haven't yet managed to muster a decent beard,
37
94000
2000
još uvijek nisam uspjela dobiti pristojnu bradu.
01:51
and I hope that it remains that way.
38
96000
3000
Nadam se da će tako i ostati.
01:54
For a long time, I didn't believe that I could have a big adventure.
39
99000
3000
Dugo vremena, nisam vjerovala da ću imati tako veliku pustolovinu.
01:57
The story that I told myself was
40
102000
2000
Priča koju sam si govorila bila je
01:59
that adventurers looked like this.
41
104000
2000
da pustolovine izgledaju ovako.
02:01
I didn't look the part.
42
106000
2000
Nisam se vidjela kao dio toga.
02:03
I thought there were them and there were us,
43
108000
3000
Mislila sam kako su tu oni, a tamo mi,
02:06
and I was not one of them.
44
111000
2000
i ja nisam bila jedna od njih.
02:08
So for 11 years, I conformed.
45
113000
3000
I tako sam se 11 godina prilagođavala.
02:11
I did what people from my kind of background were supposed to do.
46
116000
3000
Radila ono što bi ljudi moga staleža trebali raditi.
02:14
I was working in an office in London
47
119000
3000
Radila sam u uredu u Londonu
02:17
as a management consultant.
48
122000
2000
kao konzultant za menadžment.
02:19
And I think I knew from day one that it wasn't the right job for me.
49
124000
3000
I mislim kako sam od prvog dana znala da to nije pravi posao za mene.
02:22
But that kind of conditioning
50
127000
2000
No ta vrsta prilagodbe uvjetima
02:24
just kept me there for so many years,
51
129000
2000
me je držala tamo tolike godine,
02:26
until I reached my mid-30s and I thought,
52
131000
2000
dok nisam došla u tridesete i pomislila,
02:28
"You know, I'm not getting any younger.
53
133000
3000
"Znaš, ne postajem mlađa.
02:31
I feel like I've got a purpose in this life, and I don't know what it is,
54
136000
3000
Osjećam da imam svrhu u životu, ne znam što je,
02:34
but I'm pretty certain that management consultancy is not it.
55
139000
3000
no prilično sam sigurna kako to nije savjetovanje menadžera."
02:39
So, fast forward a few years.
56
144000
2000
Dakle, preskočimo nekoliko godina.
02:41
I'd gone through some changes.
57
146000
3000
Prošla sam kroz neke promjene.
02:44
To try and answer that question of,
58
149000
2000
Kako bih pokušala odgovoriti na pitanje
02:46
"What am I supposed to be doing with my life?"
59
151000
2000
što bih trebala napraviti sa svojim životom?
02:48
I sat down one day
60
153000
2000
Jednog dana sam sjela
02:50
and wrote two versions of my own obituary,
61
155000
3000
i napisala dvije verzije vlastite osmrtnice,
02:53
the one that I wanted, a life of adventure,
62
158000
3000
jedne koju sam željela, o pustolovnom životu,
02:56
and the one that I was actually heading for
63
161000
2000
i druge prema kojoj sam išla
02:58
which was a nice, normal, pleasant life,
64
163000
3000
koja je opisivala lijep, normalan, ugodan život,
03:01
but it wasn't where I wanted to be by the end of my life.
65
166000
3000
ali to nije bilo ono što sam htjela biti do kraju svog života.
03:04
I wanted to live a life that I could be proud of.
66
169000
3000
Htjela sam živjeti život kojim bih se ponosila.
03:07
And I remember looking at these two versions of my obituary
67
172000
3000
I sjećam se kako gledam na te dvije verzije osmrtnica
03:10
and thinking, "Oh boy,
68
175000
2000
i razmišljam, "Joj,
03:12
I'm on totally the wrong track here.
69
177000
2000
ja sam na totalno krivom tragu.
03:14
If I carry on living as I am now,
70
179000
2000
Ako nastavim ovako živjeti,
03:16
I'm just not going to end up where I want to be
71
181000
2000
jednostavno neću završiti tamo gdje želim biti
03:18
in five years, or 10 years,
72
183000
2000
za 5, ili za 10 godina,
03:20
or at the end of my life."
73
185000
2000
ili na kraju svog života.
03:22
I made a few changes,
74
187000
2000
Promijenila sam neke stvari,
03:24
let go of some loose trappings of my old life,
75
189000
2000
oslobodila se nekoliko zamki svoga staroga života,
03:26
and through a bit of a leap of logic,
76
191000
2000
i preko nekoliko logičnih koraka,
03:28
decided to row across the Atlantic Ocean.
77
193000
2000
odlučila preveslati Atlantski ocean.
03:30
(Laughter)
78
195000
2000
(Smijeh)
03:32
The Atlantic Rowing Race runs from the Canaries to Antigua,
79
197000
2000
Utrka preko Atlantika vesla se od Kanarskih otoka do Antigue.
03:34
it's about 3,000 miles,
80
199000
3000
Oko 5,000 km.
03:37
and it turned out to be
81
202000
2000
I to je ispala
03:39
the hardest thing I had ever done.
82
204000
3000
najteža stvar koju sam ikada napravila.
03:42
Sure, I had wanted to get outside of my comfort zone,
83
207000
3000
Naravno, htjela sam izaći iz svoje ugodne zone,
03:45
but what I'd sort of failed to notice was that
84
210000
2000
no ono što nisam uspjela primijetiti je
03:47
getting out of your comfort zone is, by definition,
85
212000
2000
kako je izlazak iz svoje ugodne zone, po definiciji,
03:49
extremely uncomfortable.
86
214000
2000
iznimno neugodan.
03:53
And my timing was not great either:
87
218000
2000
Ni moj odabir trenutka nije bio sjajan.
03:55
2005, when I did the Atlantic,
88
220000
2000
2005., kada sam prešla Atlantik,
03:57
was the year of Hurricane Katrina.
89
222000
2000
bila je godina uragana Katarina.
03:59
There were more tropical storms in the North Atlantic
90
224000
3000
Bilo je više tropskih oluja u sjevernom Atlantiku
04:02
than ever before, since records began.
91
227000
3000
nego ikad prije, otkako se vode bilješke.
04:05
And pretty early on,
92
230000
2000
I prilično rano
04:07
those storms started making their presence known.
93
232000
3000
te oluje su se počele pojavljivati.
04:11
All four of my oars broke
94
236000
2000
Sva moja četiri vesla su pukla
04:13
before I reached halfway across.
95
238000
2000
prije nego što sam došla do pola puta.
04:15
Oars are not supposed to look like this.
96
240000
3000
Vesla ne bi trebala izgledati ovako.
04:18
But what can you do? You're in the middle of the ocean.
97
243000
2000
No, što možete? Usred oceana ste.
04:20
Oars are your only means of propulsion.
98
245000
2000
Vesla su vaše jedino sredstvo kretanja.
04:22
So I just had to look around the boat
99
247000
2000
Jedino sam mogla pogledati po brodu
04:24
and figure out what I was going to use
100
249000
2000
i smisliti što iskoristiti
04:26
to fix up these oars so that I could carry on.
101
251000
2000
za popravak vesala, kako bih mogla nastaviti.
04:28
So I found a boat hook and my trusty duct tape
102
253000
3000
Tako sam pronašla kuku za brod i moj vjerni selotejp
04:31
and splintered the boat hook
103
256000
2000
i nakalemila brodsku kuku
04:33
to the oars to reinforce it.
104
258000
3000
na vesla kako bih ih ojačala.
04:36
Then, when that gave out,
105
261000
2000
Nakon što je to popustilo,
04:38
I sawed the wheel axles off my spare rowing seat
106
263000
3000
spojila sam osovine sa svog rezervnog veslačkog sjedala
04:41
and used those.
107
266000
2000
i njih iskoristila.
04:43
And then when those gave out, I cannibalized one of the broken oars.
108
268000
3000
A kada je i to popustilo, kanibalizirala sam jedno od puknutih vesala.
04:46
I'd never been very good at fixing stuff
109
271000
2000
Nikad nisam bila osobito dobra u popravcima
04:48
when I was living my old life,
110
273000
2000
dok sam živjela starim životom,
04:50
but it's amazing how resourceful you can become
111
275000
3000
No zadivljujuće je kako snalažljivi možete postati
04:53
when you're in the middle of the ocean
112
278000
2000
kada ste usred oceana
04:55
and there's only one way to get to the other side.
113
280000
2000
i postoji samo jedan način dolaska na drugu stranu.
04:57
And the oars kind of became a symbol
114
282000
2000
I vesla su na neki način postala simbol
04:59
of just in how many ways
115
284000
3000
na koliko sve načina
05:02
I went beyond what I thought were my limits.
116
287000
2000
mogu prijeći ono što sam smatrala svojim granicama.
05:04
I suffered from tendinitis on my shoulders
117
289000
3000
Patila sam od upale ligamenata u ramenima
05:07
and saltwater sores on my bottom.
118
292000
2000
i rane od slane vode na mojoj stražnjici.
05:09
I really struggled psychologically,
119
294000
3000
Doista sam se psihološki borila,
05:12
totally overwhelmed by the scale of the challenge,
120
297000
3000
potpuno nadmašena veličinom izazova,
05:15
realizing that, if I carried on moving at two miles an hour,
121
300000
3000
shvaćajući kako, ako nastavim ploviti tri kilometra na sat,
05:18
3,000 miles was going to
122
303000
2000
za 5,000 kilometara
05:20
take me a very, very long time.
123
305000
2000
će mi trebati dugo, dugo vremena.
05:22
There were so many times
124
307000
2000
Toliko puta
05:24
when I thought I'd hit that limit,
125
309000
2000
sam pomislila kako sam došla do granice,
05:26
but had no choice but to just carry on
126
311000
3000
ali nisam imala izbora nego jednostavno nastaviti
05:29
and try and figure out how I was going to get to the other side
127
314000
2000
i pokušavati smisliti kako doći na drugu stranu
05:31
without driving myself crazy.
128
316000
2000
a da ne poludim.
05:33
And eventually after
129
318000
2000
I na kraju, nakon
05:35
103 days at sea,
130
320000
2000
103 dana na moru,
05:37
I arrived in Antigua.
131
322000
2000
došla sam na Antiguu.
05:39
I don't think I've ever felt so happy
132
324000
2000
Mislim kako nikada nisam bila tako sretna
05:41
in my entire life.
133
326000
2000
u cijelom svom životu.
05:43
It was a bit like finishing a marathon
134
328000
2000
Bilo je to poput završetka maratona
05:45
and getting out of solitary confinement
135
330000
2000
i izlaska iz samice
05:47
and winning an Oscar all rolled into one.
136
332000
3000
i osvajanja Oskara, sve odjednom.
05:50
I was euphoric.
137
335000
2000
Bila sam euforična.
05:52
And to see all the people coming out to greet me
138
337000
2000
Gledala sam sve one ljude koji su mi dolazili čestitati,
05:54
and standing along the cliff tops and clapping and cheering,
139
339000
3000
koji su stajali na stijenama, pljeskali i navijali,
05:57
I just felt like a movie star.
140
342000
2000
osjećala sam se kao filmska zvijezda.
05:59
It was absolutely wonderful.
141
344000
2000
Bilo je to potpuno predivno.
06:01
And I really learned then that, the bigger the challenge,
142
346000
2000
I doista sam naučila, što je veći izazov
06:03
the bigger the sense of achievement
143
348000
2000
veći je osjećaj postignuća
06:05
when you get to the end of it.
144
350000
2000
kada stignete do kraja.
06:08
So this might be a good moment to take a quick time-out
145
353000
3000
To bi mogao biti dobar trenutak za predah
06:11
to answer a few FAQs about ocean rowing
146
356000
3000
i odgovore na neka često postavljana pitanja o veslanju preko oceana
06:14
that might be going through your mind.
147
359000
2000
koja bi vam mogla prolaziti kroz glavu.
06:16
Number one that I get asked: What do you eat?
148
361000
3000
Prvo pitanje koje mi postavljaju: Što jedeš?
06:19
A few freeze-dried meals, but mostly I try and eat
149
364000
3000
Nešto smrznutih i osušenih obroka, no većinom pokušavam jesti
06:22
much more unprocessed foods.
150
367000
3000
neobrađenu hranu.
06:25
So I grow my own beansprouts.
151
370000
2000
Uzgajam vlastite klice.
06:27
I eat fruits and nut bars,
152
372000
2000
Jedem voće i prutiće od orašastih plodova,
06:29
a lot of nuts.
153
374000
2000
puno orašastih plodova,
06:31
And generally arrive about 30 pounds lighter
154
376000
2000
i obično se vratim nekih 15 kg lakša
06:33
at the other end.
155
378000
2000
na drugu obalu.
06:35
Question number two: How do you sleep?
156
380000
2000
Pitanje drugo: Kako spavaš?
06:37
With my eyes shut. Ha-ha.
157
382000
3000
Zatvorenih očiju. Haha.
06:40
I suppose what you mean is:
158
385000
2000
Ono što mislite je, pretpostavljam:
06:42
What happens to the boat while I'm sleeping?
159
387000
2000
Što se događa s čamcem dok spavam?
06:44
Well, I plan my route so that I'm drifting
160
389000
2000
Pa, planiram rutu tako da dok spavam
06:46
with the winds and the currents while I'm sleeping.
161
391000
2000
plutam pomoću vjetra i morskih struja
06:48
On a good night, I think my best ever was 11 miles
162
393000
2000
U dobrim noćima, mislim da mi je rekord bio 18 km
06:50
in the right direction.
163
395000
2000
u pravom smjeru.
06:52
Worst ever, 13 miles in the wrong direction.
164
397000
3000
Najlošija noć, 20 km u krivom smjeru.
06:55
That's a bad day at the office.
165
400000
2000
To se zove imati loš dan na poslu.
06:57
What do I wear?
166
402000
2000
Što oblačim?
06:59
Mostly, a baseball cap,
167
404000
2000
Najčešće, kapu za bejzbol,
07:01
rowing gloves and a smile -- or a frown,
168
406000
3000
veslačke rukavice, i osmijeh, ili namrgođenu facu,
07:04
depending on whether I went backwards overnight --
169
409000
3000
ovisi o tome jesam li noću išla u krivom smjeru.
07:07
and lots of sun lotion.
170
412000
2000
I puno kreme za sunčanje.
07:09
Do I have a chase boat?
171
414000
2000
Imam li brod koji me prati?
07:11
No I don't. I'm totally self-supporting out there.
172
416000
3000
Nemam. Potpuno sam sama tamo.
07:14
I don't see anybody for the whole time
173
419000
2000
Ne vidim nikoga cijelo vrijeme
07:16
that I'm at sea, generally.
174
421000
2000
dok sam na moru, uglavnom.
07:20
And finally: Am I crazy?
175
425000
3000
I konačno: Jesam li luda?
07:23
Well, I leave that one up to you to judge.
176
428000
3000
Pa, to ostavljam vama na prosudbu.
07:26
So, how do you top rowing across the Atlantic?
177
431000
3000
I, kako nadmašiti veslanje preko Atlantika?
07:29
Well, naturally, you decide to row across the Pacific.
178
434000
3000
Prirodno, odlučite preveslati Pacifik.
07:33
Well, I thought the Atlantic was big,
179
438000
2000
Dakle, mislila sam kako je Atlantik velik,
07:35
but the Pacific is really, really big.
180
440000
3000
no Pacifik je doista, doista velik.
07:40
I think we tend to do it a little bit of a disservice in our usual maps.
181
445000
3000
Mislim kako mu ne činimo baš uslugu na običnim kartama.
07:43
I don't know for sure that the Brits
182
448000
2000
Ne znam zasigurno jesu li Britanci
07:45
invented this particular view of the world, but I suspect we might have done so:
183
450000
3000
izumili ovaj pogled na svijet, no sumnjam kako smo to mogli napraviti mi
07:48
we are right in the middle,
184
453000
2000
jer evo nas, baš smo u sredini.
07:50
and we've cut the Pacific in half
185
455000
2000
Odvojili smo Pacifik na pola
07:52
and flung it to the far corners of the world.
186
457000
3000
i bacili ga na daleke rubove svijeta,
07:55
Whereas if you look in Google Earth,
187
460000
3000
dok, pogledate li na Google Earthu,
07:58
this is how the Pacific looks.
188
463000
2000
ovako izgleda Pacifik.
08:00
It pretty much covers half the planet.
189
465000
3000
Zapravo pokriva pola planeta.
08:03
You can just see a little bit of North America up here
190
468000
2000
Ovdje gore možete vidjeti samo malo Sjeverne Amerike
08:05
and a sliver of Australia down there.
191
470000
3000
i trunčicu Australije tu dolje.
08:08
It is really big --
192
473000
2000
Doista je ogroman.
08:10
65 million square miles --
193
475000
2000
170 milijuna kliometara kvadratnih.
08:12
and to row in a straight line across it
194
477000
2000
I da biste ga preveslali u jednom pravcu,
08:14
would be about 8,000 miles.
195
479000
2000
to je oko 13,000 kilometara.
08:16
Unfortunately, ocean rowboats
196
481000
2000
Nažalost, prekooceanski veslački brodovi
08:18
very rarely go in a straight line.
197
483000
2000
vrlo rijetko putuju po crti.
08:20
By the time I get to Australia,
198
485000
2000
Dok dođem do Australije,
08:22
if I get to Australia,
199
487000
2000
ako dođem do Australije,
08:24
I will have rowed probably nine or 10,000 miles in all.
200
489000
3000
vjerojatno ću ukupno preveslati 15-ak tisuća kilometara.
08:29
So, because nobody in their straight mind would row
201
494000
2000
I kako bi netko zdrave pameti veslao
08:31
straight past Hawaii without dropping in,
202
496000
2000
preko Havaja, a da ne navrati.
08:33
I decided to cut this very big undertaking
203
498000
2000
Odlučila sam podijeliti ovaj veliki pothvat
08:35
into three segments.
204
500000
3000
u tri segmenta.
08:38
The first attempt didn't go so well.
205
503000
2000
Prvi pokušaj nije dobro prošao.
08:40
In 2007, I did a rather involuntary capsize drill
206
505000
3000
U 2007. sam napravlia neželjenu vježbu prevrtanja
08:43
three times in 24 hours.
207
508000
2000
3 puta u 24 sata.
08:45
A bit like being in a washing machine.
208
510000
2000
Nešto kao da ste u stroju za pranje rublja.
08:47
Boat got a bit dinged up,
209
512000
2000
Brod se malo zadrmao,
08:49
so did I.
210
514000
2000
a tako i ja.
08:51
I blogged about it. Unfortunately, somebody
211
516000
2000
Pisala sam o tome na blogu. Nažalost, netko
08:53
with a bit of a hero complex decided that
212
518000
2000
s nešto malo kompleksa heroja odlučio je
08:55
this damsel was in distress and needed saving.
213
520000
3000
kako je ova dama u nevolji i treba ju spasiti.
08:58
The first I knew about this was when the Coast Guard plane turned up overhead.
214
523000
3000
To sam saznala prvi put kada mi se avion Obalne straže pojavio iznad glave.
09:01
I tried to tell them to go away.
215
526000
2000
Pokušala sam im reći da odu.
09:03
We had a bit of a battle of wills.
216
528000
2000
Imali smo malu bitke volje.
09:05
I lost and got airlifted.
217
530000
2000
Izgubila sam i podigli su me.
09:07
Awful, really awful.
218
532000
2000
Užasno, stvarno užasno.
09:09
It was one of the worst feelings of my life,
219
534000
2000
Bio je to jedan od najgorih osjećaja u mom životu.
09:11
as I was lifted up on that winch line into the helicopter
220
536000
3000
Dok su me na onoj dizalici podizali u helikopter
09:14
and looked down at my trusty little boat
221
539000
2000
gledala sam svoj mali pouzdani čamac
09:16
rolling around in the 20 foot waves
222
541000
3000
koji se valja na 6-metarskim valovima
09:19
and wondering if I would ever see her again.
223
544000
2000
i razmišljala hoću li ga ikad više vidjeti.
09:21
So I had to launch a very expensive
224
546000
2000
Tako sam morala pokrenuti vrlo skupu
09:23
salvage operation
225
548000
2000
operaciju spašavanja broda
09:25
and then wait another nine months
226
550000
2000
i čekati još 9 mjeseci
09:27
before I could get back out onto the ocean again.
227
552000
2000
prije nego sam se mogla ponovno vratiti na ocean.
09:29
But what do you do?
228
554000
2000
No što možete?
09:31
Fall down nine times, get up 10.
229
556000
2000
Padnete devet puta, ustanete deset.
09:33
So, the following year, I set out
230
558000
2000
Sljedeće sam godine isplovila
09:35
and, fortunately, this time made it safely across to Hawaii.
231
560000
3000
i srećom, ovaj puta sretno stigla do Havaja.
09:38
But it was not without misadventure.
232
563000
2000
No put nije bio bez nezgoda.
09:40
My watermaker broke,
233
565000
2000
Moj aparat za vodu se pokvario,
09:42
only the most important piece of kit that I have on the boat.
234
567000
3000
najvažniji komad opreme kojeg imam na brodu.
09:45
Powered by my solar panels,
235
570000
2000
Napajan solarnim ćelijama,
09:47
it sucks in saltwater
236
572000
2000
usisava slanu vodu
09:49
and turns it into freshwater.
237
574000
2000
i pretvara je u svježu vodu.
09:51
But it doesn't react very well to being immersed in ocean,
238
576000
3000
No ne reagira baš najbolje kada ga uronite u ocean,
09:54
which is what happened to it.
239
579000
2000
što mu se dogodilo.
09:56
Fortunately, help was at hand.
240
581000
2000
Srećom, pomoć je bila u blizini.
09:58
There was another unusual boat out there
241
583000
2000
Tamo se nalazio još jedan neobičan brod
10:00
at the same time, doing as I was doing,
242
585000
3000
koji je radio što i ja,
10:03
bringing awareness to the North Pacific Garbage Patch,
243
588000
3000
podizao je svjesnost o sjevernopacifičkoj mrlji smeća,
10:06
that area in the North Pacific about twice the size of Texas,
244
591000
3000
onom dijelu sjevernog Pacifika duplo većeg od Teksasa,
10:09
with an estimated 3.5 million
245
594000
2000
s procijenjenih 3.5 milijuna
10:11
tons of trash in it,
246
596000
2000
tona smeća,
10:13
circulating at the center of
247
598000
2000
koje kruži u središtu
10:15
that North Pacific Gyre.
248
600000
2000
sjevernopacifičkih strujanja.
10:17
So, to make the point, these guys
249
602000
2000
Kako bi osnažili svoju poruku, ti dečki
10:19
had actually built their boat out of plastic trash,
250
604000
3000
su u stvari napravili čamac od plastičnog smeća,
10:22
15,000 empty water bottles
251
607000
2000
15,000 praznih boca vode
10:24
latched together into two pontoons.
252
609000
3000
skupa zavezanih u dva pontona.
10:27
They were going very slowly.
253
612000
2000
Plovili su vrlo sporo.
10:29
Partly, they'd had a bit of a delay.
254
614000
2000
Djelomično su malo kasnili.
10:31
They'd had to pull in at Catalina Island shortly after they left Long Beach
255
616000
3000
Morali su pristati na otoku Catalina tek što su otišli iz Long Beacha
10:34
because the lids of all the water bottles were coming undone,
256
619000
3000
jer su se počeli otvarati čepovi svih boca
10:37
and they were starting to sink.
257
622000
2000
i počinjali su tonuti.
10:39
So they'd had to pull in and do all the lids up.
258
624000
3000
Zato su trebali pristati i popraviti čepove.
10:44
But, as I was approaching the end of my water reserves,
259
629000
3000
No, kako sam se približavala kraju svojih rezervi vode,
10:47
luckily, our courses were converging.
260
632000
2000
srećom, naši putovi su se sreli.
10:49
They were running out of food; I was running out of water.
261
634000
3000
Njima je ponestajalo hrane, meni vode.
10:52
So we liaised by satellite phone and arranged to meet up.
262
637000
3000
Pa smo se povezali satelitskim telefonom i dogovorili susret.
10:55
And it took about a week
263
640000
2000
I trebalo nam je oko tjedan dana
10:57
for us to actually gradually converge.
264
642000
2000
da se doista polako i susretnemo.
10:59
I was doing a pathetically slow speed
265
644000
2000
Ja sam plovila posebno sporo,
11:01
of about 1.3 knots,
266
646000
2000
oko 1.3 čvorova,
11:03
and they were doing only marginally less pathetic speed of about 1.4:
267
648000
3000
a oni su plovili mrvicu manje patetičnom brzinom od oko 1.4.
11:06
it was like two snails in a mating dance.
268
651000
3000
Bili smo kao dva puža u plesu parenja.
11:09
But, eventually, we did manage to meet up
269
654000
2000
No, na kraju smo se ipak uspjeli sresti
11:11
and Joel hopped overboard,
270
656000
2000
i Joel je skočio k meni,
11:13
caught us a beautiful, big mahi-mahi,
271
658000
2000
uhvatio nam krasnu, veliku ribu mahi mahi,
11:15
which was the best food I'd had
272
660000
2000
što je bio najbolji obrok kojeg sam imala
11:17
in, ooh, at least three months.
273
662000
2000
u, oh, barem tri mjeseca.
11:19
Fortunately, the one that he caught that day
274
664000
2000
Srećom, riba koju su uhvatili taj dan
11:21
was better than this one they caught a few weeks earlier.
275
666000
3000
bila je bolja od one koju su oni uhvatili par tjedana prije.
11:24
When they opened this one up,
276
669000
2000
Kada su ovu otvorili,
11:26
they found its stomach was full of plastic.
277
671000
2000
vidjeli su kako joj je želudac bio prepun plastike.
11:28
And this is really bad news because plastic
278
673000
2000
A to je doista loša vijest
11:30
is not an inert substance.
279
675000
2000
jer plastika nije inertna tvar.
11:32
It leaches out chemicals
280
677000
2000
Ona ispušta kemikalije
11:34
into the flesh of the poor critter that ate it,
281
679000
2000
u tijelo jadne životinje koja ju je progutala,
11:36
and then we come along and eat that poor critter,
282
681000
3000
i tada dolazimo mi i pojedemo jadnu životinju,
11:39
and we get some of the toxins accumulating
283
684000
2000
i mi također akumuliramo nešto toksina
11:41
in our bodies as well.
284
686000
2000
u našim tijelima.
11:43
So there are very real implications for human health.
285
688000
3000
To su vrlo stvarni problemi za zdravlje ljudi.
11:47
I eventually made it to Hawaii still alive.
286
692000
3000
Nekako sam uspjela živa stići do Havaja.
11:50
And, the following year, set out
287
695000
2000
I, sljedeće godine, isplovila
11:52
on the second stage of the Pacific,
288
697000
3000
na drugu etapu Pacifika,
11:55
from Hawaii down to Tarawa.
289
700000
3000
od Havaja do Tarawe.
11:58
And you'll notice something about Tarawa;
290
703000
3000
I primijetit ćete nešto u vezi Tarawe:
12:01
it is very low-lying.
291
706000
2000
vrlo je ravna.
12:03
It's that little green sliver on the horizon,
292
708000
3000
Taj mali zeleni komadić na obzoru,
12:06
which makes them very nervous
293
711000
2000
čini ih vrlo nervoznima
12:08
about rising oceans.
294
713000
2000
zbog podizanja oceana.
12:10
This is big trouble for these guys.
295
715000
2000
Za njih je to velika nevolja.
12:12
They've got no points of land more than about six feet above sea level.
296
717000
3000
Niti jedna točka na otoku nije viša od 2 metra nadmorske visine.
12:15
And also, as an increase in extreme
297
720000
2000
I tako zbog češćih ekstremnih
12:17
weather events due to climate change,
298
722000
2000
vremenskih uvjeta uslijed promjene klime,
12:19
they're expecting more waves
299
724000
2000
očekuju više valova
12:21
to come in over the fringing reef,
300
726000
3000
preko ruba grebena,
12:24
which will contaminate their fresh water supply.
301
729000
3000
koji će zagaditi njihove zalihe čiste vode.
12:27
I had a meeting with the president there,
302
732000
2000
Susrela sam se s tamošnjim predsjednikom,
12:29
who told me about his
303
734000
2000
koji mi je pričao
12:31
exit strategy for his country.
304
736000
2000
o strategiji spasa za njegovu zemlju.
12:33
He expects that within the next 50 years,
305
738000
2000
Očekuje kako će se u sljedećih 50 godina,
12:35
the 100,000 people that live there
306
740000
2000
sto tisuća ljudi koji tu žive
12:37
will have to relocate to
307
742000
2000
morati preseliti na
12:39
New Zealand or Australia.
308
744000
2000
Novi Zeland ili Australiju.
12:41
And that made me think about how would I feel
309
746000
2000
I to mi je dalo za misliti kako bih se osjećala
12:43
if Britain was going to disappear under the waves;
310
748000
3000
kada bi Britanija nestala pod valovima.
12:46
if the places where I'd been born
311
751000
2000
Kada bi mjesta gdje sam rođena
12:48
and gone to school
312
753000
2000
i gdje sam išla u školu
12:50
and got married,
313
755000
2000
i udala se,
12:52
if all those places were just going to disappear forever.
314
757000
2000
kada bi sva ta mjesta jednostavno nestala zauvijek,
12:54
How, literally, ungrounded
315
759000
2000
kako bi se, doslovno, osjećala
12:56
that would make me feel.
316
761000
2000
neuzemljeno.
13:00
Very shortly, I'll be setting out to try and get to Australia,
317
765000
3000
Vrlo brzo, otplovit ću i pokušati doći do Australije.
13:03
and if I'm successful, I'll be the first woman ever to row solo
318
768000
3000
I ako uspijem, bit ću prva žena koja je sama preveslala
13:06
all the way across the Pacific.
319
771000
2000
cijeli Pacifik.
13:08
And I try to use this to bring awareness to these environmental issues,
320
773000
3000
Pokušavam to iskoristiti da podignem svijest o problemima zaštite okoliša,
13:11
to bring a human face to the ocean.
321
776000
3000
dovesti ljudsko lice na ocean.
13:14
If the Atlantic was about my inner journey,
322
779000
3000
Ako je Atlantik bio moje unutarnje putovanje,
13:17
discovering my own capabilities,
323
782000
2000
otkrivanje mojih vlastitih mogućnosti,
13:19
maybe the Pacific has been about my outer journey,
324
784000
3000
možda je Pacifik moje vanjsko putovanje,
13:22
figuring out how I can use
325
787000
2000
smišljanje kako mogu iskoristiti
13:24
my interesting career choice
326
789000
2000
moj zanimljiv odabir karijere
13:26
to be of service to the world,
327
791000
3000
kako bih služila svijetu,
13:29
and to take some of those things that I've learned out there
328
794000
3000
i kako bih neke stvari koje sam tamo naučila
13:32
and apply them to the situation
329
797000
2000
primijenila u situaciji
13:34
that humankind now finds itself in.
330
799000
3000
u kojoj se čovječanstvo sada nalazi.
13:37
I think there are probably three key points here.
331
802000
3000
Mislim da ovdje postoje tri ključne točke.
13:40
The first one is about
332
805000
2000
Prva je o
13:42
the stories that we tell ourselves.
333
807000
2000
pričama koje sami sebi pričamo.
13:44
For so long, I told myself
334
809000
2000
Tako sam si dugo govorila
13:46
that I couldn't have an adventure
335
811000
2000
kako ne mogu doživjeti pustolovinu
13:48
because I wasn't six foot tall
336
813000
2000
jer nisam 2 metra visoka
13:50
and athletic and bearded.
337
815000
3000
ni atletske građe, a nemam ni bradu.
13:53
And then that story changed.
338
818000
3000
I tada, priča se promijenila.
13:56
I found out that people had rowed across oceans.
339
821000
3000
Otkrila sam kako su ljudi veslali preko oceana.
13:59
I even met one of them and she was just about my size.
340
824000
3000
Čak sam i susrela jednu veslačicu, i bila je otprilike moje veličine.
14:02
So even though I didn't grow any taller,
341
827000
2000
Tako, premda nisam ništa narasla,
14:04
I didn't sprout a beard,
342
829000
2000
nije mi narasla bradu,
14:06
something had changed: My interior dialogue had changed.
343
831000
3000
nešto se promijenilo, moj unutarnji razgovor se promijenio.
14:09
At the moment, the story that we collectively tell ourselves
344
834000
3000
U ovom trenutku, priča koju si svi pričamo
14:12
is that we need all this stuff,
345
837000
2000
jest kako nam trebaju sve te stvari,
14:14
that we need oil.
346
839000
2000
da nam treba nafta.
14:16
But what about if we just change that story?
347
841000
3000
No što ako jednostavno promijenimo tu priču?
14:19
We do have alternatives,
348
844000
2000
Imamo opcije,
14:21
and we have the power of free will
349
846000
2000
imamo snagu slobodne volje
14:23
to choose those alternatives, those sustainable ones,
350
848000
3000
odabrati one opcije, one samoodržive
14:26
to create a greener future.
351
851000
2000
kako bismo stvorili zeleniju budućnost.
14:30
The second point is about
352
855000
2000
Druga točka je o
14:32
the accumulation of tiny actions.
353
857000
2000
gomilanju malih djela.
14:35
We might think that anything that we do as an individual
354
860000
3000
Mogli bismo pomisliti kako je sve što pojedinac čini
14:38
is just a drop in the ocean, that it can't really make a difference.
355
863000
3000
samo kap u moru, jer ne može zapravo napraviti neku razliku.
14:41
But it does. Generally, we haven't
356
866000
2000
No može se. Općenito, nismo se
14:43
got ourselves into this mess through big disasters.
357
868000
3000
doveli u ovaj nered velikim katastrofama.
14:46
Yes, there have been the Exxon Valdezes
358
871000
2000
Da, bilo je izlijevanje nafte tankera Exxon Valdezs
14:48
and the Chernobyls,
359
873000
2000
i Černobila,
14:50
but mostly it's been an accumulation
360
875000
2000
no većinom je to bilo gomilanje
14:52
of bad decisions
361
877000
2000
pogrešnih odluka
14:54
by billions of individuals,
362
879000
2000
milijardi pojedinaca
14:56
day after day and year after year.
363
881000
3000
iz dana u dan, iz godine u godinu.
14:59
And, by the same token, we can turn that tide.
364
884000
2000
I, na isti način, možemo okrenuti taj tijek
15:01
We can start making better,
365
886000
2000
Možemo početi donositi bolje,
15:03
wiser, more sustainable decisions.
366
888000
3000
mudrije, više održive odluke.
15:06
And when we do that, we're not just one person.
367
891000
2000
I kada to činimo, nismo samo jedna osoba.
15:08
Anything that we do spreads ripples.
368
893000
3000
Sve što radimo, širi se.
15:11
Other people will see if you're in the supermarket line
369
896000
2000
Drugi će ljudi vidjeti, ako ste u redu u trgovini
15:13
and you pull out your
370
898000
2000
i izvadite svoju
15:15
reusable grocery bag.
371
900000
2000
vrećicu za višekratnu uporabu.
15:17
Maybe if we all start doing this,
372
902000
2000
Možda, ako svi počnemo to raditi,
15:19
we can make it socially unacceptable
373
904000
2000
možemo učiniti društveno neprihvatljivim
15:21
to say yes to plastic in the checkout line.
374
906000
3000
uporabu plastike u redovima za kupovinu.
15:24
That's just one example.
375
909000
2000
To je samo jedan primjer.
15:26
This is a world-wide community.
376
911000
2000
Ovo je zajednica svjetskih razmjera.
15:29
The other point:
377
914000
2000
Druga točka:
15:31
It's about taking responsibility.
378
916000
2000
Preuzimanje odgovornosti.
15:33
For so much of my life,
379
918000
2000
Toliki dio života,
15:35
I wanted something else to make me happy.
380
920000
3000
htjela sam nešto što bi me učinilo sretnom.
15:38
I thought if I had the right house or the right car
381
923000
2000
Mislila sam, ako imam pravu kuću, pravi auto,
15:40
or the right man in my life,
382
925000
2000
i pravog čovjeka u svom životu,
15:42
then I could be happy.
383
927000
2000
onda ću biti sretna,
15:44
But when I wrote that obituary exercise,
384
929000
3000
no kada sam napravila onu vježbu s osmrtnicom,
15:47
I actually grew up a little bit in that moment
385
932000
3000
zapravo sam malo odrasla u tom trenu
15:50
and realized that I needed to create my own future.
386
935000
3000
i shvatila kako trebam sama stvarati svoju vlastitu budućnost.
15:53
I couldn't just wait passively
387
938000
2000
Nisam mogla samo pasivno čekati
15:55
for happiness to come and find me.
388
940000
3000
da sreća dođe i pronađe me.
15:58
And I suppose I'm a selfish environmentalist.
389
943000
2000
I pretpostavljam kako sam sebični "zeleni".
16:00
I plan on being around for a long time,
390
945000
2000
Planiram živjeti još dugo vremena,
16:02
and when I'm 90 years old,
391
947000
2000
i kada mi bude 90,
16:04
I want to be happy and healthy.
392
949000
2000
želim biti sretna i zdrava.
16:06
And it's very difficult to be happy
393
951000
2000
A vrlo je teško biti sretan
16:08
on a planet that's racked
394
953000
2000
na planetu koji je uništen
16:10
with famine and drought.
395
955000
3000
glađu i oskudicom.
16:13
It's very difficult to be healthy on a planet
396
958000
2000
Vrlo je teško biti zdrav na planetu
16:15
where we've poisoned the earth
397
960000
3000
gdje smo otrovali tlo
16:18
and the sea and the air.
398
963000
3000
i more i zrak.
16:21
So, shortly, I'm going to be
399
966000
2000
Pa, ukratko, pokrenut ću
16:23
launching a new initiative
400
968000
2000
novu inicijativu
16:25
called Eco-Heroes.
401
970000
3000
zvanu Eko-heroji.
16:28
And the idea here is that
402
973000
2000
Ideja je da
16:30
all our Eco-Heroes will log at least one green deed every day.
403
975000
3000
svi naši eko-heroji zabilježe barem jedno zeleno djelo svaki dan.
16:33
It's meant to be a bit of a game.
404
978000
2000
Bit će to poput igre.
16:35
We're going to make an iPhone app out of it.
405
980000
2000
Napravit ćemo iPhone aplikaciju za to.
16:37
We just want to try and create that awareness
406
982000
2000
Samo želimo probati stvoriti svijest
16:39
because, sure, changing a light bulb isn't going to change the world,
407
984000
3000
jer, sigurno, promjena žarulje neće promijeniti svijet,
16:42
but that attitude,
408
987000
2000
no taj stav,
16:44
that awareness that leads you to change the light bulb
409
989000
3000
ta svijest koja vas vodi da promijenimo žarulju
16:47
or take your reusable coffee mug,
410
992000
2000
ili koristitimo šalicu za kavu koja se može ponovno upotrijebiti,
16:49
that is what could change the world.
411
994000
3000
to bi moglo promijeniti svijet.
16:52
I really believe that we stand
412
997000
2000
Doista vjerujem kako se nalazimo
16:54
at a very important point in history.
413
999000
3000
na vrlo važnoj prekretnici u povijesti.
16:57
We have a choice. We've been blessed,
414
1002000
2000
Imamo izbor. Blagoslovljeni smo,
16:59
or cursed, with free will.
415
1004000
2000
ili prokleti, sa slobodnom voljom.
17:01
We can choose a greener future,
416
1006000
3000
Možemo odabrati zeleniju budućnost.
17:04
and we can get there
417
1009000
2000
I možemo do toga doći
17:06
if we all pull together to take it one stroke at a time.
418
1011000
3000
ako svi povučemo, jedan po jedan zaveslaj.
17:09
Thank you.
419
1014000
2000
Hvala vam.
17:11
(Applause)

1016000

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Roz Savage - Ocean rowerRoz Savage gave up her life as a management consultant to row across the Atlantic in 2005. Her mission now is to row across the Pacific, from the West Coast to Australia, raising awareness along the way of plastic pollution, climate change and eco-heroism.
Why you should listen
A latecomer to the life of adventure, Roz Savage worked as a management consultant for 11 years before setting out in a new life direction -- in a rowboat across the Atlantic Ocean. She completed her solo row across the Atlantic in 2005 and is now on a mission be the first woman to row solo across the Pacific, from the West Coast of the US to Australia. She began the pursuit in 2008, rowing from California to Hawaii, and rowed from Hawaii to Kiribati in 2009. In April 2010 she began the third and final stage of her Pacific row, from Kiribati to Australia.
When not on the open seas, Roz is a passionate environmental campaigner, focused on sustainability and ending plastic pollution. She's working on the new site EcoHeroes.me, where everyday acts of environmental heroism (as simple as refusing a plastic carrier bag) can be tracked and celebrated.
