 Industrial waste management in large cities is a challenge for Rio Grande do Sul manager




Migration to São Paulo, one of the largest cities in Brazil and the world, has brought people from different regions in search of opportunities and improvements in their quality of life. Among these migrants, many professionals stand out in the area of ​​industrial waste reuse, a field that is becoming increasingly relevant in a world facing environmental crises and resource scarcity.


In São Paulo, the demand for metal and plastic is immense, especially in industrial regions where factories and companies that depend on these raw materials are concentrated. However, the city faces a paradox: despite being an economic hub, the lack of professionals specialized in industrial waste management and reuse is alarming. Often, there is a significant amount of waste, including aluminum and plastic, that could be reused, but there is a lack of expertise to transform this potential into opportunity.


An inspiring example is that of Joel Rosa Cruz, a businessman from Rio Grande do Sul who moved to São Paulo and, over the course of his career spanning more than 30 years, established himself as a leader in the manufacture of machinery for the reuse of waste. His solid experience in the footwear sector, combined with innovation and entrepreneurial vision, has made him one of the leading names in the industry. Joel has not only contributed to the development of solutions that facilitate the reuse of materials, but has also become a reference for other entrepreneurs and professionals in the area.


The work of people like Joel is crucial to creating a more sustainable production cycle, which not only meets the demands of industries, but also promotes a circular economy. These innovations are essential to optimizing the collection and processing of waste, ensuring that a significant portion of what could be discarded is reintegrated into the production chain.


Therefore, when we look at the migration to São Paulo, it is essential to recognize that these new approaches to industrial waste reuse are not only a solution to the lack of raw materials, but also a way to contribute to a more sustainable and environmentally conscious future. The formation of a body of qualified professionals is a vital step, and initiatives such as Joel Rosa's pave the way for more specialists to flourish, radically changing the way Brazilian industry deals with the challenges of waste reuse.

Joe Biden Portrait

Folks, it’s official – there are less than seven days until Election Day. In my view, we should be doing everything we can to win state legislatures – and that starts with supporting the work of the DLCC.

We need to elect Democrats who will combat MAGA extremism, protect our democracy, and build a brighter future in places like your community. Defending and expanding Democratic majorities in our state legislatures is vital to building on our progress, but it won’t be easy.

In states like Pennsylvania, Democrats are holding onto majorities by the thinnest of margins – every single vote matters. Elections are won and lost in these final days, and anything you can give right now will make a powerful difference.

Our very democracy is at stake on November 5th, and the outcome of this election depends on the actions we take today.

Will you chip in $7 to support my friends at the DLCC in their work to elect state Democrats, stop Republican extremism from infiltrating our communities, and finish the job for the American people across the country?

State legislatures are the key to blocking Republican abortion bans, attacks on LGBTQ+ rights, and bills that undercut our democracy.

It doesn’t stop there. This ballot level is essential to lowering prices for American families and building an economy that works for everyone, not from the top down, but from the bottom up.

Let me be clear: This election is about you and your family. It's about your freedom. And it's about our democracy.

There is nothing we can't do when we do it together.

Will you join our movement and donate $7 to build Democratic power in statehouses nationwide? It's going to take a heck of a lot of resources for state Dems to win in key battleground states, but together, we can win.

I am grateful to every member of this team for the work they’ve done and will continue to do over the next seven days.

Keep the faith.

Joe

Joseph R. Biden, Jr.
President of the United States














 
 
 

Anyone who tells you progress is inevitable is mistaken, Sula.

Since our nation’s founding, the journey of American democracy has moved in every direction. We’ve gone forward and backward, won progress and seen it wiped away.

We’ve seen that clearly in our lifetimes. A woman’s right to choose, climate reform, voter suppression, criminal justice reform: Forward progress is not guaranteed.

Because here’s the hard truth, Sula: Moral arcs don’t bend with certainty. We need to do the work.

We must pull the arc towards justice. Your work with All On The Line helps make that happen by organizing so every voice can be heard. And your grassroots investment today will make an immediate impact on All On The Line’s work before and after November 5 to help power their long-term fight for fairness.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

We live in an unprecedented time where we face tremendous resistance to the basic promises of our democracy — that every voice matters, that everyone has a fair say and an equal vote.

But that resistance can help build our democratic muscle, if we push forward and don’t give up. From Valley Forge, to Gettysburg, to Seneca Falls, to Normandy, to Selma, to Stonewall, every generation of Americans has been called upon to defend our democracy, and every generation of Americans has done so.

This is now our time. Ours cannot be the first generation that fails to defend and enhance our democracy.

Please, make a gift to support All On The Line’s long-term work of protecting our progress for a representative democracy.

Onward,

Eric H. Holder, Jr.
82nd Attorney General of the United States

 The reelection and victory São Paulo" Mayor Ricardo Nunes and the changes in the political scenario in São Paulo.



The reelection of Ricardo Nunes as mayor of São Paulo brings to light important reflections on the current political scenario. The election result not only confirms the continuity of an administration that is not aligned with the guidelines of the federal government, which is currently led by a left-wing candidate, but also highlights the complexity and dynamics that characterize São Paulo politics.


In a political environment marked by extreme divisions—with a right-wing governor struggling to establish a harmonious relationship with a progressive federal government—Nunes' role becomes even more crucial. The growing distrust between the president and the state administration limits the availability of resources needed to meet the countless demands of the people of São Paulo. In this sense, Nunes' election opens the way for a more constructive dialogue, which could serve as a bridge between different spheres of government.


An interesting point to highlight is the stance of Governor Tarcísio de Freitas, who, despite his political background, recognized the importance of Nunes' victory and decided to offer his support. This strategic decision can be seen as a sign that, in order to promote real change and meet the needs of citizens, it is necessary to join forces, regardless of ideological differences. Tarcísio demonstrates a pragmatic vision, essential for building a better future for São Paulo.


Nunes faced strong competition in the form of Guilherme Boulos, who had the support of the experienced Marta Suplicy. Marta's track record may have intimidated Nunes' campaign for a moment, since her vast experience as mayor, minister and senator added significant weight to Boulos' candidacy, which, however, proved to be less robust than expected. The strong campaign of the former MTST activist, which was strengthened by Marta's presence, was not enough to secure victory. The mix of this political scenario, marked by an intense marketing strategy and promises of change, was not able to overcome the alliance between Nunes and Governor Tarcísio de Freitas.


The support of the governor, who represents a capitalized right wing in opposition to the advances of the left wing, was decisive. This union not only stabilized Nunes' image, but also strengthened his proposals and projects in the face of the demands of the people of São Paulo. The support becomes even more relevant considering that the federal government, under the influence of a progressive bias, may not be willing to direct substantial resources to meet the emerging needs of the state of São Paulo. Thus, Nunes' victory suggests a need for coordination between different spheres of government to face urban challenges.


Furthermore, Pablo Marçal's participation in the electoral race created a stir in the transformation of the scenario, ending up confusing and dividing votes that could, in theory, support a more robust alternative to the Nunes administration. This fragmentation of the electorate has once again revealed the vulnerability of some candidates who, despite being bold, have not proven to be solid enough to maintain healthy competitiveness.


Therefore, the result of these elections is a clear reflection of a new moment for the people of São Paulo, who have shown themselves to be in favor of the continuation of a government that promises to bring about transformation in Brazil's largest city. Now, with renewed confidence, Ricardo Nunes will have a new opportunity to implement his proposals. He has the responsibility of transforming expectations into tangible realities. This is the time to implement the changes that the city so desperately needs, focusing on essential areas such as health, education, infrastructure and security. His leadership can be decisive not only in resolving administrative weaknesses, but also in inspiring a new cycle of trust between the different levels of government and the population. A chance not only to continue the work already started, but also to reinvent itself and face the structural challenges that the city faces. The political game is not over, but Nunes' victory signals a search for stability in times of uncertainty and difficulties due to a lack of support from the federal government. Transformation and acceptance, Marta Suplicy's historic goals, could intertwine with Nunes' strategies, resulting in initiatives that will focus on inclusion and sustainable development. This is a moment that could redefine the future of São Paulo, where the union of forces will become the central discourse for building a new tomorrow.

With this new phase, São Paulo faces a range of opportunities. Nunes' administration should be marked by actions that promote social inclusion, sustainability and innovation, which are essential to deal with the challenges of a metropolis in constant transformation. The expectation is that, together with the support of the state government and a vision of broader cooperation, he can truly make a difference in the lives of São Paulo residents.
