We all poop. We all live downstream.
It’s World Toilet Day, and it’s no joke. Around 2.6 billion people worldwide lack toilets and every 15 seconds a child dies from sanitation-related illnesses. But we can smile that World Toilet Day was designated by the World Toilet Organization to organize groups for positive sanitation change.

Our local World Toilet Day event in Portland, Oregon was the First Flush of a third Portland Loo built the City of Portland. As quoted on Commissioner Leonard’s Blog, the Loo “is a modern, public urban toilet that pushes Portland into the future by making public restrooms available, safe, hygienic and sustainable.” Its sleek design makes it hip, solar-powered lights make it eco-friendly, and 24-hour status make it useful to those – including homeless – that need a location to use the bathroom.

This event was supported by an exceptional organization called PHLUSH (Public Hygiene Let’s Us Stay Human). Carol McCreary, co-founder of PHLUSH, spoke at the grand opening. PHLUSH – a group that I now volunteer with – is formed of inspiring and knowledgeable people who support sanitation for marginalized populations, research ecological-sanitation methods, and promote innovation for sanitation.
We all poop. We all live downstream. Happy World Toilet Day!

En 2010 se invirtieron mil 24 mdp en obras de protección e infraestructura, dice la Conagua
Calidad e Inocuidad
Vamos a repasar dos conceptos distintos que no deben confundirse.
Inocuidad significa que tenemos la capacidad de elaborar un producto que no va a causarle ningún daño al consumidor. Es decir, nos aseguramos que no tiene ningun cuerpo extraño y nada de microorganismos patógenos.
Calidad significa satisfacer los requisitos del cliente, todos los requisitos.
Algunos ejemplos para que se entienda la idea:
-
Si vendemos bolsas de leche etiquetadas como 1 litro, pero pesan solo 900 mililitros, no es un problema de inocuidad sino de calidad. No causa enfermedades que la bolsa pese menos pero si va a causar que el cliente se incomode.
-
Otro ejemplo. Los hongos y mohos pueden dar mal aspecto al producto (seguro recuerdan las pelusas blancas o puntos verdes en algún producto). Pero en realidad, los hongos no son un tema de inocuidad. Son, otra vez, un tema de calidad, obviamente el aspecto deteriorado del producto va a hacer pensar al cliente que es un producto que no se puede consumir.
Ahora bien, aquí viene algo bien importante que vale la pena tener en cuenta. La inocuidad está dentro de la calidad. ¿Se entiende? Vamos a tratar de explicarlo complementando la definición que está arriba.
Cuando hablamos de los requisitos del cliente hablamos tanto de los explícitos como de los implícitos. Los explícitos son aquellos que el cliente nos dice: deseo que el envase sea de este tamaño, quiero este sabor, quiero que el producto sea de este color.
De esta manera, la inocuidad es una característica implícita de los alimentos y por lo tanto si queremos ofrecer un producto de calidad, debemos velar por su inocuidad.
