Filling out surveys
Results of the survey
The survey was conducted on 50 subjects aged 24-60 years
A SURVEY - WHAT DO WE BUY AND HOW
Here are some more important questions of the total fifteen.
2. The choice of shops is affected by the quality and freshness of the product (28%), the cheapest price (24%), and proximity (22%)
4. The reason why a certain brand name products are purchased is mostly their quality (63%), and then the cheapest price (20%). The rest is negligible.
5. and 6. Vegetables, fruits and especially meat and fish are mostly bought at the market (58%), ie. the butcher shop and fish market (68%). However the rest (20%), of fruits and vegetables are bought in supermarkets, because of people's inability to go to the market due to distance, working hours etc. while meat and fish are bought in large shopping malls (18%)-in the so-called. "Large procurement".
8. Of randomly purchased goods, 47% of people use all of it, 43% use only about a half of it and 10% use less than half. This, however, shows that there is a phenomenon or "scourge" of excesive buying due to advertisements, shopping centers, deployment of products ...)
13. What do you do with (plastic, glass paper) packaging? The evidence that people have less money but also that they are
environmentally conscious is the fact that the half of the plastic and glass bottles are returned for refund (50%), and 29% of waste is sorted and discarded in appropriate containers.
14. What do you do with the remains of fruits and vegetables? 64% of biowaste is discarded with other waste . The reason is that there
is no organized collection of biowaste. Yet 14% of it is turned into compost. We assume that this is done in households with a garden.
15. What do you do with the remains of bread? The equal amount of bread is placed on containers (40%) or given to
people who use it (40%). 16% of it is discarded with other waste while only 4% of it is reused in the household.
Project managers analyze the completed survey
The conclusions of survey analysis
The majority of people in our region still buys groceries of proven quality from domestic manufacturers that are present in the market for years (40%).
But a considerable number of people buys low price groceries, also buying unnecessary ones. The reason for this is lower purchasing power of some residents, but also large offer of bad and unnecessary products in shopping malls and supermarkets as well as the impact of media and advertising materials.
The origin of groceries is very important to most, so about 70% of people buys them in butcher shops, fish markets and the local marketplace.
We believe that the remaining 30% is generally quite high considering that we live in a country where fresh fruits and vegetables, fish and meat are readily available.
What kind of drinks do people buy?
It is commendable that many people are still making natural juices (20%). Thanks to the abundance of clean water, almost everybody drinks tap water.
Approximately 40% of people buy various beverages in shops, which is not a high percentage for this category.
What is done with plastic, glass and paper packaging?
Environmental awareness is present in the majority of subjects (80%) and they sort the packaging into appropriate containers or return them for monetary compensation.
What do people do with the remains of bread?
Since ancient times, people in our country are acustomed to using up all the bread, or they give it to someone else who will use it (84%)
Good old traditions

Food preparation
Harvest and preparation of wild growing herbs…….
The custom of coloring eggs for Easter is centuries old.
Also, the old custom of baking bread and meat under „baking bell” is passed down from one generation to the next. This is a very healthy way of preparing food.
Food is placed in a metal container with a bell like lid, and covered with embers. All this is done in the fireplace.
Meat and bread roasted under the „baking bell”
