A positive example of finding ecological solutions in everyday practice is the Island of Krk. The Eco Island of Krk has a commendable waste sorting policy in which all residents participate! In addition to waste, the island can boast of other important solutions that are a step towards the energy independence of the entire island. Charging stations for electric vehicles and solar panels are a common sight on the island's streets, and this is precisely the image that delights residents and tourists.
Door-to-Door System
In the settlements on the island of Krk, there is a door-to-door system. It is a system that involves the user sorting the waste by himself and depositing it in the designated bins, which are emptied according to a specific schedule. The user's responsibility is an important aspect of the functioning of this system. The citizens have been environmentally conscious for many years and are aware that they contribute to improving life in the local community through additional engagement. The system is well accepted for numerous positive environmental, financial, legal, and tourist reasons.

The Road to Energy Self-Sufficiency
Solar panels are a common sight on the streets of the island of Krk. Many households have started the journey towards energy independence and the use of energy from renewable sources. There is no shortage of sunny days on the island, so residents also produce excess energy, which they store in special batteries with a system based on salt water. Apart from the bills being certainly lower, it is also possible to make money by selling the excess energy produced to the grid.
