La eurodiputada del PP, Alma Ezcurra carga contra "otra mentira más" de Teresa Ribera en lo que Ezcurra considera otra estrategia electoralista

Bruselas ha desmentido a la nueva vicepresidenta primera de la Comisión Europea Teresa Ribera y niega que la legislación europea obligue a España a aplicar el 'basurazo'. La propia CE ha asegurado quela tasa que propone el Estado es una decisión política y no mandatoria desde la Unión Europea. Sin embargo, desde 2025, los ayuntamientos estarán obligados a implementar un incremento en la tasa municipal de residuos para cubrir el coste íntegro del servicio. La CE niega que la legislación europea obligue a España a aplicar el 'basurazo' La respuesta de Bruselas viene a colación de una pregunta de la eurodiputada del Partido Popular Alma Ezcurra, que atiende a los micrófonos de Buenos Días Madrid en Onda Madrid, con Javier Mardomingo. "Preguntamos a la Comisión si es obligatorio imponer una tasa a los más de 8.000 ayuntamientos españoles que va a incrementar considerablemente la factura fiscal desde 2025 y la Comisión nos respondió que la directiva de residuos establece unos objetivos de cumplimiento de reciclaje pero que como lo hagan los estados miembros es potestativo y que la tasa de basuras no es obligatoria. Entendemos que el Estado ha hecho lo que le ha dado la gana". Una tasa que lleva defendiendo desde hace dos años la vicepresidenta primera y comisaria de Competencia de la Comisión Europea y que según Ezcurra "es una mentira más de Teresa Ribera". La FMM afirma que “Europa no obliga” a cobrar la tasa de basura: “Ha hecho una recomendación" "El objetivo de esta tasa tiene dos objetivos: su habitual radicalismo climático y por otro lado va más allá y pretende un objetivo político zafio y electoral como es minar la confianza de los vecinos con sus alcaldes y romper el inmenso poder territorial que el partido popular logró en mayo de 2023". "Hay otros países que han utilizado diferentes fórmulas como los sistemas de pago por generacion de residuos, ofrecer incentivos a las territoriales para que cumplan sus objetivos o soluciones más ingeniosas como incentivos fiscales a la donación de productos. En cada estado se ha aplicado de una manera diferente". La FMM afirma que “Europa no obliga” a cobrar la tasa de basura: “Ha hecho una recomendación" Desde un principio, los populares se han opuesto a la decisión de poner a Ribera como vicepresidenta primera de la CE, según la eurodiputada del PP porque creen que "los socialistas españoles van a traicionar el pacto cuando mejor les convenga, como han hecho con Meloni, que primero era Musolini para ellos y luego acabaron apoyándola para poder sacar a Ribera como vicepresidenta; Por otro lado, creemos que no da ninguna estabilidad que la vicepresidenta se siente en el banquillo como creemos que va a suceder".

I see it as a physical sensation that is feeding into a thought that is feeding into emotions.It's that awareness about how we are controlled by our innate genetic wiring in order to keep us safe, and that's not always good for our wellbeing.I've always had a passion for learning.Instead of being the emotion, or the thought, it's about stepping back and saying, I'm having the thought - that it's a passing thing that comes and goes and not get caught up in it.We are so much in our heads. I think it's very important that we take pauses to step back and just notice what's going on.This series is kindly supported by Squadcast –the remote recording platform which empowers podcasters by capturing high-quality audio and video conversations.

Connect with Roshni Pandey via LinkedinKey QuotesI was born in Fiji in a city called Lautoka. You were bare feet 90% of the time.I think living on an island, you just feel the warmth, whether it's from the sun, or from the people.Growing up I thought I could be whatever I wanted to be, because there was nothing that you weren't allowed to do if you were interested in doing it.In Fiji life is basic, but it's never boring because you invent your own fun. A lot of great ideas are often preceded by a silly idea. I don't think good ideas just happen. I think they're built. I got a tattoo when I left my job, and it says, ‘if you desire something just ask the universe'. The comfort zone that we think we have is created only in our minds, because we've imagined the other parallel world to be so difficult or so scary. If I spend enough time exploring something, it will become comfortable and not scary anymore.Often our subconscious mind is our biggest saboteur. If you are not aware and in tune with your intuition or your gut feel, you often miss a lot of wonderful things.This series is kindly supported by Squadcast –the remote recording platform which empowers podcasters by capturing high-quality audio and video conversations.

I had this sense of unease and unhappiness all the time.I came out of the monastery after 10 days in a completely different space, my energy had just really calmed down. I made a decision to adopt the principle of self-acceptance.One of the toughest challenges to reconceptualize my life without having a permanent home.We've got a huge need to control our external reality as human beings. Moving towards a less effortful way of living, is about tuning into your intuitionIf you got a strong core, you know what your values are, you know what your vision and purpose is, at least have a sense of it.

Patience comes from this mindfulness and empathy. I wrote Lift and my message was that if you want to lift others, you have to lift yourself first.When I face adversity, somehow I get very motivated to do something.

Pierre Heistein talks to Brendan Davis, from episode 58, about the documentary film he made telling the story of Atuel River in Mendoza region, Argentina. In 2020 there were protests against the overturning of a water protection law that had successfully kept water-intensive mining projects out of the Mendoza province, the largest wine-producing region in Latin America that gets water from the Atuel River.Pierre and two others decided to trace the route of the river from high up in the Andes to its end in the Cuyo Desert, becoming the first to do so, and recording perspectives of local people who engage with the river in different ways. The resulting documentary received an overwhelmingly positive response from the local community and has caused Pierre to reflect on society's pace of life, reliance on, and connectedness to nature.About Pierre HeisteinPierre believes that we really are capable of creating more harmonious relationships with each other and the natural world that supports us. He contributes to this through photography, entrepreneurship, teaching, and fatherhood.Find out more at: ATUEL Documentary Spanish version and Instagram Email: Pierre DOT Heistein @ Gmail.comConnect with Brendan Davis https://www.crazyinagoodway.comKey QuotesWe felt that it was very important to make the river the main subject, the protagonist of thisfilm.We were forced to move at the river's pace and we were forced to move at the pace of nature itself.It made me reflect on how to work better, how to live better, how to produce better and to do so at a far more natural pace of ebb and flow of passion and rest.I think the river just taught me that just how to ebb and flow, how to speed up, slow down, go stop and really integrate that into the rest of my lifeWe are a manmade oasis in the middle of the desert, it is impossible to live here without having a deep connection to the river.Our little planet earth in this immense of expansive space is the only place we can live. And we depend on it. And if we don't look after it, we're probably not gonna be able to live here, at least with not any level of quality of life.It has made me really question, what am I working towards and reminded me to, to just always be very conscious of the jobs I seek and understand why.We are not here to serve nature. Nature's not here to serve us. It's a relationship. and just like any relationship in our lives, it needs to be as healthy as possible.This series is kindly supported by Squadcast –the remote recording platform which empowers podcasters by capturing high-quality audio and video conversations.Read the transcription for this episode at our websiteConnect with Access to Inspiration on Twitter : Facebook : Instagram : LinkedIn : Read our Impact ReportSound Editor: Matias de Ezcurra (he/him).

Key QuotesI realised that I had actually put aside my dream and so I rekindled it, and moved from my clinical practice to work for Kenya Red Cross. And I never looked back.My father was a mathematics teacher in the fifties, and my mother was an English teacher. And what they imparted in me was the importance of education.I derive great pleasure at seeing people just develop. Context is very important for leadership, and the way in which we respond to the world is largely influenced by our own perception of the world. I've always admired those kind of leaders that have clarity of thought, and clarity of action. Sometimes it's feast or famine. You have too much money within a short time when disasters occur. And then once the disasters disappear, you don't have any money.If I do my part and leave somebody feeling that it was useful for me to be in their lives then I think that's good enough.This series is kindly supported by Squadcast –the remote recording platform which empowers podcasters by capturing high-quality audio and video conversations.Read the transcription for this episode at our websiteConnect with Access to Inspiration on Twitter : Facebook : Instagram : LinkedIn : Read our Impact ReportSound Editor: Matias de Ezcurra (he/him).

Sue Stockdale talks to Alex van den Heever, a wildlife tracker and author who worked for many years at the famous Londolozi Game Reserve in South Africa. He served in numerous roles, as a safari guide, tracker and ultimately had full responsibility for the reserve's environment. Alex describes the ancient skill of tracking and how it relates to modern day decision-making. He shares the five interrelated activities involved in the tracking process: finding the right track, following, anticipation, losing the track and the encounter. Alex was born in Knysna, South Africa in 1975. At age 19, he began working at the world-famous Londolozi Game Reserve. During this time, Alex was paired with Renias Mhlongo, a local Shangaan tracker who grew up as a hunter-gatherer in the greater Kruger National Park. For 27 years the two have worked together tracking wild animals in Peru, Chile, Brazil, North America, Australia, China, and all over Africa. In 2003, Alex became the youngest person ever to be certified as a Senior Wildlife Tracker in South Africa. He is a director and shareholder of EcoTraining, South Africa's leading guide and environmental training company. In 2009, Alex and Mrs Gaynor Rupert founded the Tracker Academy, an award-winning non-profit NGO that trains indigenous wildlife trackers. Alex also co-founded Wild Signs, a company that developed the Tracking Success virtual adventure which uses the ancient practice of animal tracking to solve modern-day business problems. He holds a NQF4 Lead Tracker and Professional Trails Guide qualifications, and a Diploma in Marketing and Business Management from Damelin Business School. Alex has published two books: the bestselling Tracker Manual field guide and Changing a Leopard's Spots, a book about his working relationship and tracking adventures with Renias Mhlongo. In public engagements Alex speak alongside his friend and colleague of 27 years, Renias Mhlongo, in his language Shangaan, which he translates for the audience.Key Quotes:'There are very few animal trackers left in the world. Southern Africa is one of the last places that people still track wild animals'.'As long as I remember, I've just wanted to be close to nature'.'I'd done a year of a marketing degree and I was supposed to go back. I was gonna take a year off - that was 27 years ago. I never went back'. 'Renius was old enough to get me outta trouble, but young enough to get me into it'. 'Tracking is for the most part seen by the west as a very mystical, magical skill'.'The top, most elite trackers in the world have the ability to balance detail analytical thought with creative holistic thinking'. 'Nature operates on relationships. The relationship between the rocks, the soil, the trees, the plants, the birds, the animals, everything is in. They are so intricately linked, and there are relationships there that are ancient and that are fundamental to the success of the system as a whole'.'If man makes changes to the environment, nature doesn't complain. It simply adapts'.'Nature is just wordless. Because the animals that these trackers pursue are wild and cannot be controlled. And because the environment in which they operate is vast, there are no signposts. There are no algorithms. There are no consultants to talk to. They have to become aligned with the signs that nature is giving them in order to make good decisions'.'To track, well, you must put the animal in your heart'. 'Trackers give themselves time. They go slower rather than faster'. '94% of those 220 trained in the Tracker Academy are now in permanent conservation jobs. All of whom were unemployed, many without hope'.Find out more about Alex van den Heever: Website https://alexandren.com Instagram https://www.instagram.com/alex_vandenheever/LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexkeynotespeaker Facebook https://www.facebook.com/alex.vandenheever.1 Tracking Success website https://trackingsuccess.tv Tracker Academy website https://www.trackeracademy.co.za Instagram https://www.instagram.com/trackeracademy/ This series is kindly supported by Squadcast –the remote recording platform which empowers podcasters by capturing high-quality audio and video conversations. https://squadcast.fmRead the transcription for this episode on www.accesstoinspiration.org and connect with us:Twitter www.twitter.com/accessinspirat1 Facebook www.facebook.com/accesstoinspiration Instagram www.instagram.com/accesstoinspiration LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/company/access-to-inspiration/Sign up for our newsletter http://eepurl.com/hguX2b Read our Impact Report https://bit.ly/3hElalv Sound Editor: Matias de Ezcurra (he/him)Producer: Sue Stockdale (she/her)

And the two girls didn't have a word of each other's language but they never stopped talking to each other for three months'. 'Early women explorers were nearly all botanists because that was something women were allowed to be, back into early Victorian times'.'I would find ordinary suburban life excruciatingly boring, but you don't have to walk far into nature to really suddenly you feel yourself becoming alive'.This series is kindly supported by Squadcast –the remote recording platform which empowers podcasters by capturing high-quality audio and video conversations. https://squadcast.fmRead the transcription for this episode on www.accesstoinspiration.org and connect with us:Twitter www.twitter.com/accessinspirat1 Facebook www.facebook.com/accesstoinspiration Instagram www.instagram.com/accesstoinspiration LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/company/access-to-inspiration/Sign up for our newsletter http://eepurl.com/hguX2b Read our Impact Report https://bit.ly/3hElalv Sound Editor: Matias de Ezcurra (he/him)Producer: Sue Stockdale (she/her)

Along the way, he helped start several interdisciplinary fields such as neuroeconomics, neuromanagement, and neuromarketing. He is a regular TED speaker and is author of a number of books including forthcoming title Immersion: the science of the extraordinary and the source of happiness, due for release in summer 2022. A four-time tech entrepreneur, his most recent company Immersion Neuroscience is a software platform that allows anyone to measure what the brain loves in real-time to improve outcomes in entertainment, education and training, advertising and live events. Paul frequently appears in the media in such places as Good Morning America, Dr. Phil, Fox & Friends, ABC Evening News, and his work has been reported in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Time, The Economist, Scientific American, Fast Company, Forbes, and various podcasts. Key Quotes:‘Your brain is a super lazy organ because it takes so much energy to run, it really just wants to idle most of the time.' ‘Immersion is this neurologic state in which people have extraordinary experiences.' ‘The brain is modulating energy flow all the time. And so, it's never just on 100%.' ‘People actually learn better in groups than they do singly, whether that's in-person one-to-one or in asynchronous remote settings.'‘Psychological safety basically means ”Am I relaxed enough in this setting that I have enough space in my brain to be immersed. If I'm not, I'm not ready to learn."‘I think of immersion as a kind of neural prosthetic. It gives me this sort of superpower where I can be more effective as a social creature.'‘In the animal literature there was a very rich vein of growing neuroscience, identifying oxytocin as a signal that a member of your species is safe or familiar.'‘Employees that work with stronger social connections are more productive. They enjoy their jobs more and we've shown, they shed the stress of work more rapidly when the workday's over.'‘We've shown in experiments when leaders articulate the social purpose of work, people put in so much more discretionary effort, because we're helping the world. And that's what social creatures generally want to do.' “The arc of all my professional work has been creating knowledge and technologies to increase happiness in the world at the individual level, at the organizational level, the societal level.'To find out more about Paul Zak:Immersion Neuroscience website https://www.getimmersion.comWebsite https://pauljzak.com Twitter https://twitter.com/pauljzakLinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-zak-91123510/ This series is supported by Squadcast –the remote recording platform which empowers podcasters by capturing high-quality audio and video conversations.
