5 Jun World Environment day Greetings, Earthlings! Today, we come together to celebrate World Environment Day 2024. I celebrated World 🌎 Environment day with Dava India Generic Pharmacy Platform. This isn’t just another day on the calendar; it's a global event dedicated to raising awareness and inspiring action to protect our planet. Whether you're an eco-warrior or just starting to think about your environmental footprint, this day is for everyone. So, let's dive into the significance of World Environment Day. The Theme for 2024... Restore Our Earth This year’s theme, “Restore Our Earth,” highlights the urgent need to repair and rejuvenate the ecosystems that sustain us. From forests and rivers to oceans and wetlands, the health of these natural systems is crucial for our survival. The theme underscores the idea that it’s not enough to merely protect what we have left; we must actively work to restore what we've lost. Zota healthcare Ltd.

🌍✨ Insights from a Global Collaboration on Food Waste! 🍎🥦 Thanks to collaboration, my adventure into the vast climate-tech landscape has been even more rewarding. As part of my Terra.do fellowship; I teamed up with two brilliant teammates based in India: Harshi Talsania and Ishita S.. Together, we dove into the intricate nuances of food waste, a topic that isn't just about wasted resources but is deeply tied to social justice, equity, and the environment. Did you know? Almost 40% of US food goes to waste, even as over 30 million residents face food insecurity. On the other hand, India, with a population exceeding the US by ~1.1 billion, contends with a staggering 68 million tonnes of wasted food while nearly 200 million of its people remain food insecure. These stats speak to more than just a problem of inefficiency but highlight the stark disparities in access and affordability in both nations. As we grapple with these numbers, we also explored inspirational organizations already making strides in this space, such as the Food Recovery Network, Imperfect Foods, GreenPod Labs, and more. Their efforts shine a light on the possible paths forward. For more insights on our findings and the organizations championing change, check out our presentation attached. 📊✨ Let's harness the power of data and technology to create impactful change, ensuring everyone, everywhere, has access to nourishing food. 🌱🔍 #FoodWaste #ClimateChange #DataForGood #Collaboration

Yesterday, I attended the XII Sustainable Health Awards hosted by Sanofi and Jornal de Negócios. Quite frankly, I was expecting a lot of "saving the planet" and little of "saving the people". I was proven wrong. The award winners heavily focused on the well-being of patients. Congratulations to them, and kudos to the jury. Now, all the projects excelled at being efficient with very scarce resources. This is #sustainability done right. Indeed, the incredible #accomplishments in environmental protection of the last decades have depended heavily on hardcore operational ingenuity. Industry and services have always aimed to be more efficient, realizing that improvement is good for #business, and could be achieved everywhere. When the #lean movement took over the world, everyone was talking about reducing "wastes," including wasting quality (overprocessing and defects), quantity (overproduction and underproduction), time (services waiting for inventory or inventory waiting for services), mobility (people and equipment, materials). They later emphasized not wasting skills and creativity, and reducing environmentally costly inputs and byproducts. This #philosophy - of doing more with less - taught many #organizations to be more #adaptable and #responsive to the clients, propelling global industry to reach heightened levels of #productivity and #profitability, and #environmental #sustainability. Society improved, and the world became greener. In a nutshell, #incremental #improvements, here and there and everywhere, can make a huge difference, on our lives, on business, on the environment. We could learn a lot more from this approach. In Portugal, the #healthcare system is pretty much a top-down affair, resistant to #change and #adaptation -- a case study of waste. It wastes people's time waiting for #appointments or life-changing #surgeries, resulting in a massive waste of #satisfaction, #comfort, #wellbeing, and lives. It also wastes the #dedication and #creativity of many professionals, who are often frustrated because they cannot do more. Furthermore, it wastes the power of the market to solve problems, create #opportunities, and uplift people. It's a waste of #wealth, social #cohesion, and political and #civic energy. If we want better #healthcare: ▪️ We should allow services to be free to improve across the board. We should not limit improvement to inputs and outputs - a great waste of opportunity and a disservice to sustainability. ▪️ We shoud allow people to be free to choose between public, private, and social services so that competition for consumer preference, rather than compliance with political programs, can drive improvement. ▪️ We should no longer postpone or shun free-market-based reforms. A failing healthcare system is not socially sustainable. We need reform-adverse politicians and bureaucrats to back off, give power back to the people, and unleash creativity, innovation, and better healthcare - for all.
