Toks Restaurants, together with the supplier Germán López, has been keeping alive the more than 400 trees they rent for the Christmas season for four years, because every year they return the pine trees used in their restaurants to the forest. “Bosque Toks” seeks to care for the environment by converting idle soil or unprofitable crops into commercial forest plantations. This initiative includes: comprehensive reforestation (trees, flowers and bee hotels), rental of rooted trees, adoption of trees; which achieves multiple benefits such as: training of employees, corporate volunteers, restoration of the ecosystem, infiltration of water into the aquifer, refuge for spices and safeguarding of endemic species such as the teporingo rabbit, among others. This good practice is strengthened because the trees rented by the restaurant chain are decorated thanks to organizations that positively impact society. This year, we worked in alliance with the Mitz Foundation, which is dedicated to supporting women in vulnerable communities through education and productive projects that transform waste into unique products. For this Christmas, thanks to the support of more than 150 women, 5,000 obsolete menus (equivalent to 1.7 tons of waste) were converted into Christmas spheres, benefiting more than 600 people in these communities (4 family members on average per woman). In addition, almost 50,000 hours of education were donated to children in marginalized areas.
In order to review the pending issues for the full functioning of the Paris Agreement, the UN Conference on Climate Change, COP 25, will be held from December 2 to 13 under the Presidency of Chile and with the logistical support of Spain . This conference has also been designed to increase levels of ambition for 2020, the year in which countries have committed to delivering new and updated national plans of measures to combat climate change. Measures to combat climate change will include areas such as finance, transparency in climate change measures, forests Nepal WhatsApp Number and agriculture, technology, capacity building, loss and damage, indigenous people, cities, oceans and gender equality. 10 keys to understand COP 25 More than 25 thousand people will participate in this annual meeting, including leaders and negotiators of the countries, scientists, activists and companies. According to a survey carried out by El País, these are the 10 keys to understanding more about COP 25: 1. Why is it celebrated in Madrid and not in Chile? Every year the venue changes, this time it was decided in Chile, however, after a series of protests and in the midst of a political crisis, this was not achieved. For this reason, the Spanish president, Pedro Sánchez, then offered to hold it in Madrid, although Chile maintains the presidency of the summit and has a leading role in it, for example: directing the negotiations between the delegates of the countries. 2. How many countries participate? There are 196 countries that participate.
What is the summit for? This COP25 must serve to finish developing the Paris Agreement, and for countries to commit to presenting plans for more drastic emissions cuts. 4. Are the commitments binding? What happens if they are not met? The Paris Agreement is binding from the moment a country signs it. There are countries that are there and others that are not. The agreement also does not provide for sanctions. The Kyoto Protocol, the climate pact that will be replaced by the Paris Agreement, did include sanctions. And that protocol has not been enough to combat climate change, since only the countries that are obliged to cut their greenhouse gases already only represent 10% of global emissions. 5. Have any of the previously set objectives been met? Not completely. Although some countries are making rapid progress in meeting the Paris Agreement, many are still lagging behind. Everyone is committed to ensuring that the average temperature of the planet does not exceed two degrees Celsius at the end of the century compared to pre-industrial levels and, as far as possible, does not exceed .
