LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, April 29, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Just in time for May, officially California Tourism Month, Pat Pattison, the host of “Pat Pattison’s Best of California” has released his list of the top ten “Hidden Gems” for Summer Travel. This is an annual review of the places Pattison has been to and featured on his national TV show and social media platform, “Pat Pattison’s Best of California.” The show is locally seen in Los Angeles on MeTV Sundays at 7:30am, and nationally on RVTV.tv and Funroads.tv and many streaming outlets.

Ostateczny kształt rozszerzonej odpowiedzialności producenta wciąż pod znakiem zapytania. Przykładem dla Polski mogą być rozwiązania z Czech czy Belgii

Zgodnie z wytycznymi Unii Europejskiej do końca 2025 roku Polska powinna osiągnąć poziom recyklingu odpadów opakowaniowych na poziomie min. 65 proc. Trudno to osiągnąć bez wdrożenia systemu rozszerzonej odpowiedzialności producenta (ROP), który w świetle unijnych zaleceń powinien być zaimplementowany już w 2023 roku, a którego ostatecznego kształtu jeszcze nie znamy. Zagraniczni eksperci uważają, że Polska powinna iść w ślady Czech, Belgii i Włoch, stawiając na elastyczną organizację odpowiedzialności producenta (OOP).

Prof. G. Kołodko: Trump osiągnie efekt odwrotny od zamierzonego i spowolni rozwój Ameryki. Na wojnie handlowej z resztą świata to Stany mogą tracić najmocniej

– Liczne decyzje prezydenta Trumpa, nie tylko na polu ekonomicznym, są po prostu oparte na nieracjonalnych przesłankach, są fałszywe, są szkodliwe i dla Stanów Zjednoczonych, i dla innych, mówiąc językiem popularnym, są chore – ocenia prof. Grzegorz Kołodko, były minister finansów, i wskazuje m.in. na chaos spowodowany wprowadzaniem, zawieszaniem i przywracaniem ceł. Ekonomista w książce „Trump 2.0. Rewolucja chorego rozsądku” analizuje trumponomikę, a więc ekonomię i politykę gospodarczą pomysłu prezydenta oraz jej wpływ na gospodarkę, przestrzega przed zagrożeniami i wskazuje sposoby wyjścia z nasilającego się globalnego zamieszania. Autor ocenia też negatywnie pozaekonomiczne aspekty działalności amerykańskiego prezydenta z wyjątkiem jednego aspektu.

Samoleczenie generuje w UE oszczędności na poziomie 40 mld euro rocznie. Dzięki temu odciążone są europejskie systemy zdrowotne

Każdego roku Europejczycy leczą samodzielnie ok. 1,2 mld drobnych dolegliwości, w tym przeziębienie czy niestrawność. Zdaniem ekspertów wzmocnienie tych kompetencji społeczeństwa może być remedium na braki kadrowe w opiece zdrowotnej i jej deficyt budżetowy. Sięganie po leki bez recepty (OTC), suplementy diety i wyroby lecznicze pozwala uniknąć ok. 120 mln konsultacji lekarskich w skali roku, co odpowiada pracy nawet 36 tys. lekarzy pierwszego kontaktu. Samoleczenie generuje w UE oszczędności na poziomie 40 mld euro rocznie – wynika z danych przedstawionych podczas 61. konferencji AESGP, która odbyła się w Warszawie.
