Zeibekiko: dancing with your demons

It takes only a brief holiday in Greece to notice the plethora of tradition this country still hosts. That’s why it is always so fascinating and – at the same time – unsettling to get in touch with customs that have survived centuries. In the last week, in fact, I had the chance to learn […]

“Zero Waste is the conservation of all resources “Zero Waste is the conservation of all resources by means of responsible production, consumption, reuse and recovery of products, packaging and materials without burning, and with no discharges to land, water, or air that threaten the environment or human health”.  Definition of Zero Waste as adopted by the Zero Waste International Alliance.  Our planet is suffering from the climate crisis. Nothing is more important than starting to live a more sustainable life.  This eleventh episode is entirely dedicated to sustainability and the "zero waste" or "low waste" movement.  Everything we do, everything we consume, has an impact on the environment and natural resources. And just because we don’t see it, it doesn’t mean that it’s not there.  Turn up the volume and dive into the world of sustainability together with our guests for today, Silvana, Rute and Tania, three environmental activists who will explain us how to live in respect of nature.

Fran’s not an ordinary rich guy. He hates the fa Fran’s not an ordinary rich guy. He hates the fact that he’s got everything while many people are starving. Besides, he cares about poor people and social rights, most of the time going against his class. Every night Fran has very vivid dreams about a utopian future where all people are equal and humanity, for the first time since globalization, tries to go back to its roots, respecting nature and other living beings. Through his tales and his trips worldwide, Fran will discover himself and fight for what he dreams at night, hoping that one-day dreams will become true.

The biggest fear over the past years regarding ext The biggest fear over the past years regarding extremism in politics, has finally come alive in another part of Europe: the far-right has entered the Catalan Parliament with a bigger support than the polls were anticipating in these elections.
