It’s obvious that the tobacco industry is targeting young people directly.

When e-cigarettes are designed to look like school supplies or taste like candy, it’s obvious that the tobacco industry is targeting young people directly.

Time to step in and end these manipulative tactics.

MQTT turns 25 - here's how it has endured

Happy birthday, @mqtt@fosstodon.org! 25 years young.

It’s October 2024 and I’m sitting here in my creative maker studio, wearing a bright t-shirt that excitedly bellows “MQTT 25”! To my left is a top-end Bambu Lab X1C 3D printer, that uses MQTT internally for communication.

Cambiando la mentalidad: ¡Hagamos que el cuidado de los oídos y la audición sea una realidad para todos!

Cada año, el 03 de marzo, observamos el Día Mundial de la Audición para elevar concienciar sobre cómo prevenir la sordera y la pérdida auditiva, y promover el cuidado del oído y la audición en todo el mundo. Este año celebramos la ocasión con un llamado a centrarnos en "Cambiando la mentalidad: ¡Hagamos que el cuidado de los oídos y la audición sea una realidad para todos!" Sabemos que persisten desafíos debido a percepciones sociales erróneas y mentalidades marcadas por el estigma, y en este día renovamos nuestro enfoque para superarlos mediante la sensibilización y el intercambio de información, dirigida al público y a los proveedores de atención médica. Se estima que más de 1.500 millones de personas en todo el mundo se ven afectadas por la pérdida auditiva, casi el 80% de las cuales viven en países de ingresos bajos y medios del mundo. En nuestra propia región, se estima que actualmente 400 millones de personas tienen problemas de oído y de audición. Desafortunadamente, estas cifras están aumentando. Al ritmo actual, es probable que en 2050 haya más de 660 millones de personas con problemas de oído y de audición sólo en nuestra región. A pesar de su prevalencia y del hecho de que existen intervenciones efectivas y rentables, a nivel mundial, más del 80% de las necesidades de atención del oído y la audición siguen sin satisfacerse. Es evidente que esto debe abordarse con urgencia. La pérdida de audición tiene graves implicaciones para el desarrollo del lenguaje, el bienestar psicológico, la calidad de vida, el nivel educativo y la independencia económica.

Violence can be prevented and we all have a role to play!  

Now more than ever, it is time to take action to eliminate all forms of violence against women and girls.

This is not a new issue for the Americas – there is a wealth of knowledge on how to address violence and many good practice examples that we can learn from and build on to advance this agenda together.

Encouraging more people to volunteer to donate blood to help increase the availability of essential blood supplies in the Region.

On the occasion of World Blood Donor Day, celebrated every June 14, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) is encouraging more people to volunteer to donate blood to help increase the availability of essential blood supplies in the Region.

Voluntary, unpaid blood donation is the foundation of a safe and sufficient blood supply. It also plays a crucial role in supporting patients with a wide range of chronic health problems, such as hemophilia and immune deficiencies. "According to the latest available data for 34 countries in the Region, 8.2 million units of blood were donated in 2020, 48% of them from voluntary donors," PAHO Director Dr. Jarbas Barbosa said

However, in many countries, demand exceeds supply, and blood services face the challenge of ensuring sufficient availability while, at the same time, guaranteeing the quality and safety of blood products. While overall figures for the Region show a significant increase in donations and in the availability and safety of blood, the rate of blood donation per 1,000 people in low- and middle-income countries remains between 50 and 70 percent below that of higher-income countries.

For Dr. Barbosa, this highlights the need for sustainable, regulated blood programs to ensure the availability of sufficient quantities of safe blood to meet patient needs.

Blood transfusions and blood products help patients live longer and ensure a better quality of life. They also support complex medical and surgical procedures, making them indispensable in maternal and child health care services, as well as in disaster scenarios. "Blood donation helps to strengthen social and community bonds. And the promotion of voluntary donation and coordination among blood service networks helps to improve and save the lives of millions of people,” Dr. Barbosa added.

Pledge to end subsidies on tobacco growing.

You must replace tobacco because it has a huge carbon footprint. It uses a lot of water, it has real environmental problems,” Sonja insists. “If we look at the carbon footprint of the cigarette industry, we see 78% of carbon emissions occur in tobacco growing and curing, not in factories or distribution, but through pesticide use and cutting down and burning forests for fuel.”

However, replacing one monoculture with another, such as growing soybeans for feed in poultry farming, does not solve the most important question for tobacco alternatives: is it sustainable – for the environment, for the economy, for the society or community where it is grown? Is it resilient to the effects of climate change?

“Farmers in rich countries can use their land for solar panels,” Sonja points out, but she says the level of investment needed is too high for a smallholder with only a hectare of arable land. “This is why governments need to support farmers financially to diversify,” she insists, noting also that tobacco farming is labour-intensive, and people cannot innovate if they are tired and sick.

Sonja is adamant that countries which are champions of tobacco control need to support the fight in other countries. As an organization, Unfairtobacco collate articles to showcase different alternative projects underway around the globe. Their map is intended as a collection of ideas and options, rather than as a research database, she says. “I would like to see governments investing in ideas, saying ‘Okay, let’s see if this works’ and, if so, making an idea accessible to other countries where tobacco farmers need it most for their livelihood.”

“We try to get the message across here in Germany that the things we use in our lives have a footprint elsewhere in the world, and that we need to change our way of living to support a change in other countries.”
