GERI

Toyota Motor Corporation (en japonés: トヨタ自動車株式会社, Toyota Kaisha?)3 es una empresa japonesa de fabricación de automóviles. Fundada en 1933 por Kiichiro Toyoda, su sede principal está ubicada en Toyota (Aichi) y Bunkyō (Tokio) aunque, por su carácter multinacional, cuenta con fábricas y sedes en varios países.4

En 2019, Toyota fue el segundo mayor fabricante mundial de automóviles (por producción), por detrás del Grupo Volkswagen.5 y tuvo ventas mundiales de 10,74 millones de vehículos.1 Además, según el ranking elaborado por Interbrand, Toyota fue la quinta marca más valiosa del mundo en 2016,6 siendo considerada en 2017 como la marca de vehículos más valiosa con un valor de marca de US$28 700 millones.7 En el mismo sentido, el Informe Global sobre la Automoción 2018 realizado por la consultora KPMG afirmó que el grupo Toyota fue la marca de automoción mejor posicionada para un futuro inmediato a cinco años por delante de BMW y Tesla.8

La empresa tiene un marcado carácter de innovación en el sector automotor:9 comercializó el primer sistema de aparcamiento automático,10 la primera caja de cambios automática de 8 y 10 velocidades,11 el sistema de guía de tráfico en tiempo real con reasignación de ruta dinámica o el control de climatización de cuatro zonas con tecnología de infrarrojos.12 Es especialmente notoria por ser pionera en la producción y comercialización masiva de automóviles basados en la tecnología de combustible híbrida como el modelo Prius o la división de automóviles de lujo Lexus.1314 Pero también apuesta por vehículos propulsados con pila de combustible, como el Toyota Mirai15 o el autobús Toyota Sora, que no generan emisiones de CO2 al emplear el hidrógeno como combustible.16

Marcas:

Toyota Motor Corporation fabrica vehículos bajo las marcas Toyota y Lexus, posee la totalidad de las acciones de Daihatsu, inversiones en Hino y Fuji Heavy Industries que fabrica vehículos marca Subaru. Lexus es la marca de Toyota para su división de automóviles de lujo,56 siendo presentada por primera vez en Estados Unidos, donde llegó a convertirse en la marca más vendida de su segmento durante varios años.57 Anteriormente se daba la paradoja de que hasta 2005 los vehículos Lexus eran comercializados bajo la marca Toyota en Japón pero, desde entonces, la marca Lexus fue introducida.58 Desde su debut en 1989 Lexus ha desarrollado una reputación por la fiabilidad de sus vehículos y la calidad de su servicio al cliente.59 En 2019, por octavo año consecutivo, la firma de valoraciones de los clientes J.D. Power nombró a Lexus la marca más fiable en los Estados Unidos.60

En cuanto a Daihatsu, esta marca fabrica automóviles pequeños, especialmente de los segmentos A y B y comparte con Toyota un programa conjunto de investigación y desarrollo. Sin embargo, esto no implica una fusión de las marcas, ya que Daihatsu y Toyota no solo mantienen una identidad diferenciada, sino además una independencia ejecutiva.61

Por otra parte, Scion fue una división de Toyota destinada a un público urbano y juvenil que operaba en Estados Unidos, Canadá, Guam y Puerto Rico. Se fundó en 2003 y prolongó su actividad hasta 2016 habiendo comercializado algo más de 1 000 000 de vehículos durante su existencia.626364 Tras la disolución de la marca los modelos se renombraron e integraron en el catálogo general de Toyota.65

Toyota ha fabricado muchos de los autos más icónicos de la historia. Algunos de estos son el Toyota Supra, Corolla, 2000GT, Land Cruiser, Hilux, Celica y Prius,.

27/03 La hora del Planeta. ¿Te sumas?

La Hora de Planeta 2021: millones de personas se unen para destacar el vínculo entre las pandemias y la pérdida de la naturaleza Más de 140 países en el mundo se suman a esta campaña ambiental. En Argentina, municipios a lo largo y ancho del país llevarán a cabo diferentes actividades durante La Hora del Planeta, para alzar la voz contra el cambio climático. Buenos Aires, 25 de marzo 2021.- Este 27 de marzo entre las 20.30hs y las 21.30hs es La Hora del Planeta, el evento de concientización ambiental más importante del mundo, en el que se apagarán las luces en diferentes puntos del planeta para alzar la voz contra el cambio climático. Esta iniciativa, que Fundación Vida Silvestre Argentina coordina y lleva adelante a nivel nacional desde el 2009, unirá a individuos, empresas y líderes de todo el mundo para destacar la importancia de la salud del planeta e inspirar acciones para un mejor futuro para la naturaleza y las personas. Debido a las medidas de seguridad por el COVID-19 muchos países celebrarán la campaña de manera virtual reafirmando su compromiso. La evidencia demuestra que hay un vínculo cercano entre la destrucción de la naturaleza y el aumento de enfermedades infecciosas, y la Hora del Planeta es una oportunidad para crear conciencia sobre el valor de la biodiversidad, en un año en el cual los líderes globales tomarán decisiones claves sobre la naturaleza, el cambio climático y el desarrollo sustentable. WWF y Vida Silvestre “Ya sea una disminución de polinizadores, menos peces en océanos y ríos, la desaparición de los bosques o una mayor pérdida de especies, la evidencia de que la naturaleza está amenazada crece. Esto se debe a la manera en que vivimos y administramos nuestras economías. Proteger la naturaleza es nuestra responsabilidad moral; perderla también aumenta nuestra vulnerabilidad frente a posibles pandemias, acelera el cambio climático y amenaza nuestra seguridad alimentaria”, señalo Marco Lambertini, Director General de WWF Internacional. “Debemos dejar de dar por sentando la naturaleza, respetar su valor intrínseco y apreciar los servicios cruciales que brinda a nuestra salud, bienestar y economía. Necesitamos unirnos y tomar acciones urgentes ahora para ponernos en el camino de la recuperación y asegurar un mundo positivo, mientras apoyamos la acción climática. Si actuamos en conjunto por la naturaleza podemos crear un mundo más saludable, justo y sustentable”, agregó. Por su parte Manuel Jaramillo, Director General de Vida Silvestre Argentina, señala “es importante volver a una relación sana, fraterna y saludable con la vida silvestre; es un error pensar que la naturaleza sólo nos provee, somos parte, necesitamos de ella en cada momento de nuestras vidas. En la actualidad, un sector cada vez más importante de la sociedad se preocupa y ocupa de los temas ambientales. Somos los únicos responsables de lograr cambios positivos para el planeta, depende de cada una de las personas ser líderes de ese mensaje y difundirlo con nuestros pares. Desde Argentina los invitamos a unirse el sábado 27 de marzo a las 20.30hs, para reforzar nuestro compromiso con el planeta y elevar nuestras voces”.

Durante La Hora del Planeta

Las luces de monumentos, edificios municipales, oficinas y hogares se apagan por 60 minutos para demostrar el compromiso con el cuidado del planeta. Con los protocolos necesarios, muchos lugares emblemáticos a nivel global como la Torre Eiffel, el Tokyo Skytree, el Puerto Victoria de Hong Kong, la Puerta de Brandemburgo en Berlin, la Basílica de San Pedro en la Ciudad del Vaticano, el Coliseo en Roma, Rova de Antananarivo en Madagascar, UAP Old Mutual Tower en Nairobi, la Casa de la Ópera en Sydney, Taipei 101 y Gardens by the Bay en Singapur, apagarán sus luces como un gesto simbólico en apoyo a la Hora del Planeta 2021. En Argentina, algunos lugares representativos que formarán parte son: en Rosario, el Barquito de Papel y el Palacio de los Leones (sede del Poder Ejecutivo); La Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires el Obelisco, el Puente de la Mujer, el Planetario y la Usina del Arte, entre otros; Ushuaia, el emblemático cartel con el nombre de la ciudad; en Mar del Plata la Torre Tanque; en el Municipio de Puerto Iguazú se realizará una plantación de árboles nativos en el predio del Polideportivo Municipal, entre otras iniciativas, y en diferentes Palacios Municipales a lo largo y ancho del país. Este será otro año importante para la campaña Con más de 140 países y territorios unidos para resaltar y hacer frente a los problemas ambientales más relevantes. - En Argentina Fundación Vida Silvestre realizará un evento virtual que comenzará a las 19:45hs y se transmitirá vía Facebook, para vivir en vivo la previa antes de apagar la luz. - Múltiples países se unirán para la Marcha Digital Latinoamericana por la Hora del Planeta. La plataforma interactiva permite a los participantes personalizar sus avatares y mensajes para “hablar por la naturaleza” bajo tres temas: biodiversidad, plástico y cambio climático. - Uganda se asoció con los Scouts, organizaciones sociales y agencias de gobierno para empujar la prohibición total de plástico de un solo uso. También lanzará la campaña “Keep It Green and Clean” (Mantenlo verde y limpio) para organizar una iniciativa local de limpieza y plantación de árboles. - Malasia organizó una Carrera Virtual de 10km del 27 de marzo al 15 de abril 2021, cuyas ganancias ayudarán a financiar proyectos sobre la naturaleza, la vida silvestre y los bosques. - Con su campaña “Let Oceans Shine” (Dejemos a los océanos brillar), Hong Kong resalta las amenazas que nuestros océanos enfrentan, desde la contaminación, la pesca y el desarrollo no sustentable. - Singapur lanzó una campaña digital para movilizar a las personas a lograr emisiones netas cero para 2050. WWF invita a las personas a establecer sus propios planes cero con acciones climáticas tangibles para reducir su huella de carbono.

LaHora del Planeta en Argentina

A nivel nacional, la iniciativa de la Hora del Planeta 2021 cuenta con la adhesión de más de 12 provincias y aproximadamente 30 municipios en todo el país y de manera federal. Ellos son: Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires ; en San Luis, el Municipio de San Luis; en Buenos Aires, los municipios de 9 de Julio, Bahía Blanca, Ituzaingó, Junín, General Pueyrredón, San Cayetano, Pellegrini, La Plata, Tornquist, Tandil y Tigre; el Municipio de la Capital de la Provincia de La Rioja; en Tierra del Fuego, los municipios de Ushuaia y Río Grande; en Entre Ríos, los municipios de Colón, Concordia, Villa Elisa y Urdinarrain; la Municipalidad de la Ciudad de Corrientes; en Córdoba, la Municipalidad de Hernando; Mendoza, los municipios de la Ciudad de Mendoza, San Rafael y Godoy Cruz; en Misiones, los municipios de Posadas, Puerto Iguazú y Puerto Rico; en Santa Fe la ciudad de Rosario y el Municipio de Totoras; la ciudad de Neuquén y muchos otros que se siguen sumando.

Homesick and strapped for cash, Hurricane Maria survivors grapple with life in Miami

Thisstory was initially released by HuffPostand is replicated here as part of the Climate Desk partnership.

“Christmas,”Mariner Ostolaza stated mournfully, like it’s the name of an enjoyed one who passed away too young. “Do you know what a Christmas is in Puerto Rico?”

She sets her coffee down, releasing her hands to gesticulate style, and addresses her own concern. It begins on Thanksgiving and it ends in mid-Januarywith Fiestas de la Calle de San Sebasti án, a street celebration.

“It’s three months of partying, drinking, and freaking good-ass music,” she stated, sighing. “Being here, it was sad. My family over here is already Americanized, so they don’t do the same parties or the same traditions we have over there.”

The28- year-old got away to Florida’s biggest city in October after Hurricane Maria swamped Levittown, the middle-class San Juan residential area where she lived in a one-story house with her grandma and great-grandmother. She struggled over the choice to leave.

The night the floodwaters came, simply hours after the winds and rain went away, she viewed swarms of cockroaches and rats swallow up whole lampposts as they scampered to drier heights– a horrible, practically Biblical prophecy. She had actually thought she may pass away as she browsed her jam-packed 2005 Toyota Corolla through streets that had actually ended up being fecal rivers.

She invested the next week learning sewage, air-drying clothing and old love letters, and chasing incredibly elusive bouts of sleep in the sticky nights without a/c. Then, one early morning while she waited in line for gas at 4 a.m., service blinked onto her phone for a minute, and she got a text from her auntie inMiami A household good friend operating at Royal Caribbean protected areas for Ostolaza and her grannies on a cruise liner leaving San Juan the next early morning.

“I didn’t want to come,” she stated. But her task was less protected than it as soon as was, given that the hotel where she worked didn’t understand when it would invite travelers once again. And her uncle, and– as soon as she completed weeping– her mom, persuaded Ostolaza leaving was the only option. The next day, she joined her grannies, who were depending upon her to be their English translator, and boarded the ship. She got here in Miami onOct 3, her papa’s birthday, the very first one she ‘d ever missed out on.

Nearly 9 months later on, Ostolaza feels stuck in a city with costly real estate, minimal tasks and– the weather condition and plentitude of Spanish speakers aside– couple of similarities to her island. Puerto Rico stays in disarray and without trusted electrical power. Federal authorities have yet to even identify the last death toll from the storm, though Harvard University scientists today pegged the number at 4,645– 70 times the main tally and almost 3 times greater than Hurricane Katrina in2005 On Friday, a brand-new hurricane season starts.

Roughly136,000 Puerto Ricans got away to the mainland United States in the months after the storm. That figure, based upon school registrations since last February, is anticipated to rise well above 200,000 when states launch brand-new information inSeptember Almost half of them remained in Florida.

But couple of are settled. Ostolaza got a task waiting tables at a Puerto Rican dining establishment in Kendall, south of Miami, however she still lives rent-free with her auntie and uncle. She is discussing when, or whether, to return, questioning if staying in Miami, with its progressively flood-prone streets and heedless waterfront construction, is any less delusional than going back to Puerto Rico in an age of increasing seas and warming temperature levels.

‘Miami can barely handle the people who live there now’

Ostolaza’s dilemma shows policymakers’ failure to prepare for abrupt increases of migrants getting away the type of severe weather condition that is ending up being more regular as environment modification worsens, researchers state. Her reality likewise highlights a more subtle impact of displacement, a peaceful epidemic of homesickness and anxiety, especially amongst Americans with as special a culture as Puerto Ricans.

The issue threatens to end up being much even worse in SouthFlorida Caribbean countries that next-door neighbor Puerto Rico are especially at danger, and not simply from sea-level increase. Since the early 1980 s, nations like Jamaica, Haiti, andSt Lucia started embracing neoliberal financial reforms pressed by the U.S. and the International MonetaryFund These policies ravaged farming on the islands, as study after study reveals, requiring them to depend on imported food and mineral water, and revolve their whole economies around tourist.

“The only thing that keeps the entire Caribbean economy from completely collapsing is tourism,” stated Jesse Michael Keenan, a specialist in environment migration at Harvard University.

Likein Puerto Rico, where the island’s $70 billion public financial obligation has actually strangled the regional economy, monetary difficulty currently makes numerous in the Caribbean excited to leave. When severe weather condition devastations facilities and makes it tough to import and disperse items, nations are tossed into turmoil, and South Florida is the closest entry indicate security in the United States

“Miami can barely handle the people who live there now,”Keenan stated. “It’s hard to imagine a future where they could handle much more influx from the Caribbean.”

HurricaneMaria ended up being the most dangerous catastrophe in contemporary U.S. history, not since it was a Category 5 storm, however due to the failure to provide emergency relief rapidly enough, if at all. The Harvard study discovered that the variety of deaths skyrocketed in the months after the storm as an outcome of the disruption of treatment. About 14.4 percent of families reported losing access to medications, 9.5 percent stated the prevalent blackouts left breathing devices ineffective, 8.1 percent stated close-by medical centers stayed closed, and 6.1 percent stated there were no medical professionals at those centers. Nearly 9 percent of families in remote, mountainous locations might not reach emergency situation services by phone.

In the weeks after the hurricane made landfall, food and medication remained jam-packed in shipping containers as the Federal Emergency Management Agency struggled to find ways to disperse the much-needed products around the storm-ravaged island. (The company insisted they were retail products, not help.) Companies contracted by the company failed to deliver countless meals to starving PuertoRicans Federal specialists employed to restore the island’s paralyzed electrical power grid ended up being the topic ofcorruption allegations At one point, the business Whitefish Energy Holdings suspended work on power lines up until Puerto Rico’s insolvent electrical energy paid up. Last month, Puerto Rico plunged into darkness yet again after an excavator working too near to a fallen transmission tower got too near to a high-voltage line.

TheTrump administration, after some argument, tweaked welfare rules to permit Puerto Ricans to purchase ready meals with food stamps. But the White House chose not to provide help cash to Puerto Rico in January, firmly insisting the island go through indicates screening that identified it was too rich to qualify for the financing, in spite of the hardship rate rising from 44.3 percent to 52.3 percent after the storm.

As the administration continues to overlook and marginalize researchers whose research study alerts that environment modification is making the frequency, strength, and speed of cyclones more catastrophic, mismanaged relief efforts might well end up being a long-term component.

The federal government’s made a mess of reaction to the storm reached the states that took in displaced PuertoRicans It took FEMA more than a month to trigger a transitional real estate program for displacedsurvivors The company prepared to stop paying for Puerto Ricans to live in hotels inApril But after state and regional authorities rushed to support moneying to keep the Puerto Ricans housed, FEMA reversed its decision and approved a request to extend a transitional real estate program to 1,700Mariasurvivors But that program expires on June 30 and FEMA has no strategies to extend it once again.

FEMA representative Lenisha Smith stated the company was working “closely with survivors of Hurricane Maria from Puerto Rico, including those in Florida, on finding more permeant housing solutions.”

Finding long-term real estate has actually been a battle, especially in Florida.

“They don’t have the money for renting any house that they can afford in Florida,” stated Angel Marcial, a bishop with churches in Orlando, the top destination for Puerto Ricans inFlorida “Many of them don’t have enough money for the down payments or the deposit, even what they receive monthly is not enough for a monthly rent.”

Butin Orlando, a minimum of, the Puerto Rican neighborhood is filled with more current arrivals and is close-knit, making it simpler to gain access to social work.

Miami, the second-strongest magnet for Puerto Ricans and practically two times Orlando’s size, is a bit harder. The expense of living there is 10 percent greater, inning accordance with Expatistan, a website that compares living costs in between cities.

PuertoRicans likewise do not have main centers in the city, like the Cuban and Haitian neighborhoods do. They have actually rather distributed as the community as soon as referred to as Little San Juan goes through fast gentrification. Land rates in Wynwood, an area simply north of downtown, quintupled in between 2012 and 2016, inning accordance with property information mentioned byThe Real Deal Lease rates more than doubled. For numerous, the community has actually ended up being too costly for locals, not to mention newbies.

AndreaRuiz-Sorrentini, a University of Miami scientist studying how Puerto Ricans displaced by Hurricane Maria are adjusting to Miami, stated evacuees despaired over the lack of go-to cultural places in the city.

“There is not a renowned hub in Miami to go and experience what it is to be Puerto Rican,” she stated, sitting in a rec space of a Puerto Rican cultural center in the Roberto Clemente Park, among the last popular symbols of Wynwood’s Puerto Rican heritage. “Yes, Wynwood exists, but in recent years it hasn’t been the same.”

InOctober, Florida ended up being the only state to participate in a host-state arrangement with FEMA, and Republican Governor Rick Scott started prompting federal authorities to money relief efforts. In January, almost 4 months after the hurricane, the federal government granted Florida $13 million to assist displaced Puerto Ricans discover tasks. In reaction, Scott unveiled a new $1 million employment effortwith the Puerto Rican Chamber of Commerce and Ana G. Mendez University the next month.

Fewer than a quarter of the 20 actions a Scott representative noted the administration as taking in reaction to Hurricane Maria dealt straight with displaced evacuees.

Florida’s rigid guidelines for accessing civil services make the scenario for bad displaced Puerto Ricans a lot more alarming. Scott worked closely with the Trump administration to roll back guidelines that broadened Medicaid securities.

“That’s emblematic of Florida’s conservative approach to social services in general,” stated Edwin Mel éndez, a financial expert and the director of Hunter College’s Center for Puerto RicanStudies “That means the community infrastructure, the nonprofits that provide services and the privatization of government leaves services not even comparable to those in the Northeast, where other Puerto Rican communities exist.”

‘These displaced Puerto Ricans will be climate voters’

The state’s lowerings in well-being costs mirror its hesitation to invest cash to prepare for environment modification, in spite of dealing with some of the greatest risks from increasing seas and severe weather condition. Scott, who has actually long rejected the science behind environment modification, firmly insisted throughout his reelection project in 2014 that his administration invested $350 million on sea-level-rise mitigation efforts. PolitiFact, the Florida- based fact-checking service, stated the claim “mostly false,” keeping in mind that the guv’s workplace consisted of in that figure $100 million in sewage system facilities that had absolutely nothing to do with sea-level increase. As just recently as in 2015, conservationists accused Scott of ignoring worldwide warming and pressing an Orwellian erasure of the words “climate change” from public files.

The increase of brand-new citizens from Puerto Rico might tilt the Florida electorate versus agents who reject environment modification.

Eightin 10 Latinos believe worldwide warming is taking place, consisting of almost 9 in 10 Spanish- speaking Latinos, inning accordance with 2017 survey data from the Yale Program on Climate ChangeCommunication Sixty percent stated they would vote for a prospect for public workplace since of their position on environment modification, and 51 percent stated they would sign up with a project to encourage chosen authorities to act upon worldwide warming. That number leaps to 61 percent amongst Spanish- speaking Latinos.

InFlorida, where Latinos comprise 16.4 percent of signed up citizens, ballot by the Environmental Voter Project discovered the average Latino citizen to be practically 10 percent most likely to appreciate environment modification than the typical non-Hispanic white citizen. The group recognized 514,691Latinos who are currently signed up to vote and would be extremely prefer to list “climate change or other environmental issues” as one of their leading political top priorities, and that does not even count recently shown up Puerto Ricans with direct experience of the type of storm researchers anticipate to end up being more typical as the world warms.

TheHarvard research study discovered that the typical age of Puerto Ricans who left after Hurricane Maria was 25, positioning them in the millennial age that tends to favor policy options to environment modification.

“In short, every bit of data tells us that these displaced Puerto Ricans will be climate voters, and any candidate who ignores them (and their priorities) could easily lose the election because of it,”Nathaniel Stinnett, executive director of the Environmental Voter Project, stated in an e-mail.

That might be sustaining some Florida Republicans’ issues about recently signed up Puerto Rican citizens. John Ward, a prospect in the GOP primary for Florida’s Sixth Congressional District, drew criticism recently for stating displaced Puerto Ricans should not be allowed to register to vote in Florida.

“I don’t think they should be allowed to register to vote,” he stated in a video published to YouTube by a Republican competitor. “It’s not lost on me that, I think, the Democrat Party’s really hoping that they can change the voting registers in a lot of counties and districts, and I don’t think they should be allowed to do that.”

That hasn’t stopped individuals likeOstolaza She signed up to vote in Miami practically right away after showing up in the city. She does not understand whom she prepares to vote for in Florida’s Senate election this year, in which Scott is the Republican frontrunner to difficulty Democratic incumbent Bill Nelson.

But she stated she could not vote for somebody who turns down researchers’ cautions about environment modification.

“Not after living through what I did, and seeing everything,” she stated. “We’re the ones who suffer more.”

The next day, at Isla Del Encanto, the dining establishment where she works, Ostolaza took an order for alcapurrias. On her method to the kitchen area, she wisped by a big blue and white indication that read: Boricua Vota.
