Hello,
Thank you for the insight, very useful I believe. I just wanted to ask what role the publich health care systems have in using resources efficently? In practice unfortunatly, it's a lot about optimizing resources rather than makeing sure they're sustainable.

Hello,
Sometimes the correct optimization of resource, can be the first stage to make sustainable theirs, but we must advance in the development of new actives policies trying to involve different entities, as you comment. In my opinion the final objective must be achieved working in a team, for change the actual development model to a new green economy model.
Cheers,
