This year, on April 24, we celebrate the Slovenian Day without wasted food for the first time. We can also contribute a lot to reducing the amount of wasted food and thus prevent the unnecessary consumption of natural resources, money and packaging. By making small changes in the way we buy, cook and plan meals, we can save time, improve eating habits and, above all, help protect the environment.

Waste has reached a crisis point – according to experts, there will be more plastic than fish in our oceans by 2050.

Amazon-owned company Zoox today unveiled Robotaxi. It is a fully functional, electric, autonomous vehicle designed for the urban traffic environment. Basically, it is an interesting and not very pretty "box" on wheels, 3,630 mm long and 1,936 mm high, which is also why it does not take up much space on city streets. The fact that it is not a science fiction project, but rather a product that wants to be on the streets of the world's metropolises very soon, excites us.
