Versátil, fuerte y ecológico: el material que promete destronar al plástico Casi todas las cosas que nos rodean tienen plástico, quizás por eso es que producimos unos 300 millones de toneladas de este material al año. Pero, ¿cuánto del plástico desechado se recicla? Solamente un 3%, mientras el resto va a atascarse a algún lugar del planeta, quedándose por siglos en vertederos y océanos, dañando ecosistemas, cadenas alimenticias y el medioambiente. Una simple bolsa plástica puede tardar unos 500 años en degradarse, según estimaciones de la ciencia, y aunque se han hecho esfuerzos por crear plásticos biodegradables, éstos no han alcanzado a impactar a la gigantesca industria construida en torno a estos productos, por su escasa versatilidad. Al menos hasta ahora. La solución al exceso de basura plástica la ofrecieron silenciosamente los animales invertebrados con sus caparazones: escarabajos, camarones, crustáceos. Lo más importante: masificable Fernández dice que en aproximadamente un par de años la producción de quitosano puede ser a gran escala.

La Filosofía Coworking como nueva forma de trabajar”, un libro auto editado por el autor. Comprar
Global Entrepreneurship Index | Global Entrepreneurship Development Institute The GEDI Institute has gathered and provided entrepreneurship and business statistics on a country’s entrepreneurial ecosystem through Global Entrepreneurship Index (GEI). Enterprise is a crucial engine of economic growth. Without enterprise and entrepreneurs, there would be little innovation, little productivity growth, and few new jobs. Entrepreneurial success does not take place in a vacuum. Entrepreneurs exist in the context of their particular geography – be that their local, national, or even supranational economy and society. This mix of attitudes, resources, and infrastructure is known as the entrepreneurship ‘ecosystem’. The GEDI methodology collects data on the entrepreneurial attitudes, abilities, and aspirations of the local population and then weights these against the prevailing social and economic ‘infrastructure’ – this includes aspects such as broadband connectivity and the transport links to external markets. 2018 Global Entrepreneurship Index rankings

The LEAN Sprint Experiments power breakthrough discovery in both the Scientific Method and our adaptation of it for entrepreneurship: Herein lies the key to breakthrough in both: If your guess disagrees with experiment, it is wrong. It doesn’t matter how beautiful your guess is, how smart you are, who made the guess, or what their name is… it is wrong. – Richard Feynman But while experiments are highly effective at testing guesses, simply running experiments is also not enough. This begs the question: “Where do good guesses or ideas come from?” The answer is that good ideas can come from anywhere. This is exactly what the LEAN Sprint is designed to do. What is the LEAN Sprint A LEAN sprint is a time-boxed iteration cycle for sourcing, ranking, and testing new ideas. We have successfully applied LEAN Sprints both internally in our team and across several dozen entrepreneurial teams at both startups and large organizations. 1. 2. 3. The 5 Stages of a LEAN Sprint There are five stages to running a LEAN Sprint.
Which is the most peaceful country in the world? Despite an increase in geopolitical tensions and an upsurge in violence in certain parts of the world, last year saw the overall level of global peacefulness remain stable, according to the latest Global Peace Index report. Four regions experienced an improvement in peace: Europe, North America, sub-Saharan Africa and Central America and the Caribbean. The remaining five regions – Asia Pacific, South America, Russia and Eurasia, South Asia, and the Middle East and North Africa – saw a deterioration. The MENA region is ranked the least peaceful in the world and saw the most significant changes compared to the previous year as violence flared across Iraq, Syria, Libya and Yemen. Overall, 81 countries became more peaceful while 78 countries were worse off. The Global Peace Index, issued by the Institute for Economics and Peace, ranks 162 independent states covering 99.6% of the world’s population.
