MIAMI, July 20, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Gloria and Emilio Estefan will support “Cala,” Ismael Cala’s new television show, which is premiering this Monday, July 20 on the MegaTV network, reaching the entire United States.

“We’re supporting Ismael because he is someone who brings light and a positive vision to the world, things that are in such short supply these days,” observed Emilio Estefan, who added, speaking on his own and Gloria’s behalf: “We love him very much and wish him the best with this new program.”

Cala, in turn, expressed his gratitude for the ” honor and the blessing” of having the support of this wonderful couple from the show business world. “I’ve enjoyed the friendship of Emilio and Gloria for many years, and they’ve been an indispensable help to me at key moments in my career,” he concluded.

The program will be a variety show, both entertaining and informative, with commentary, humor, serious issues and, of course, Ismael’s famous interviews. This Monday, for example, he’ll be conversing with, among others, Gloria and Emilio, and José Luis Rodríguez, “El Puma.”

The rest of this opening week will feature other major figures, such as singer Natalia Jiménez, television host Luis Chataing, actress Lucía Méndez, sexologist Antonia López, Doctor Maritza Fuentes, and Reggaeton duo Alexis and Fido.

Ismael noted that the program has been made possible thanks to the trust of Raúl Alarcón, owner of MegaTV; Alberto Rodríguez, the network’s chief executive; José Pérez, Vice President for Programming; and Amer Mercado, executive producer of this brand-new season.

“The program has an innovative format that captures the enchantment and great journalistic maturity” of Ismael,” Pérez commented. Mercado, for his part, stated that the program will present a Cala who is “engaging and funny, who will be trying to convey a mood of hope to viewing households.”

Ismael Cala is a life and business strategist. For five and a half years he was the host of “Cala,” on CNN en Español. A businessman and social entrepreneur, he is the author of eight bestsellers on issues of leadership, entrepreneurship and personal development, including El poder de escuchar (‘The power of listening’), and Despierta con Cala (‘Wake up with Cala’).

Cala was born in Santiago de Cuba in 1969, and holds a degree in Art History from Oriente University. He is the co-author of the book “Beat the Curve,” with Brian Tracy. He graduated from the School of Communication at York University in Toronto and has a diploma from Seneca College in Television Production.

Don’t Trash the Box: Domino’s® and WestRock Partner to Encourage Customers to Recycle Their Pizza Boxes

July 20, 2020

The homepage of recycling.dominos.com, the site launched by Domino's and its box supplier to share the facts about pizza box recycling.

ANN ARBOR, Mich., July 20, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Domino’s (NYSE: DPZ), the largest pizza company in the world based on global retail sales, wants to see customers recycle their pizza boxes. Today, Domino’s and its primary box supplier, WestRock, are launching recycling.dominos.com – a website to share the facts about pizza box recycling. The website is a hub of information on pizza box recycling, including instructions on how to recycle pizza boxes, and a guide for what to do if a customer’s community does not accept pizza boxes for recycling.

Contrary to popular belief, pizza boxes are recyclable, even if they have some grease on them. To reduce confusion and encourage Americans to recycle their pizza boxes, WestRock conducted a research study that evaluated the impact of typical amounts of grease and residual cheese. The study was reviewed by member companies of the American Forest & Paper Association. It concluded that the presence of typical amounts of grease and residual cheese does not affect the quality of finished corrugated product containing expected levels of recovered fibers.

“Because nearly everything that leaves a Domino’s store leaves in a corrugated box, we know we have an opportunity to make a difference when it comes to packaging and recycling,” said Tim McIntyre, Domino’s executive vice president of communications. “Our goal is that our customers will set aside any misconceptions they have around the recyclability of pizza boxes, read the facts and put their empty box in the recycling bin – or call their municipality and ask them to add pizza boxes to their collection.”

A total of 73% of the U.S. population is estimated to have recycling programs available for pizza boxes, according to a Resource Recycling Systems access study commissioned by WestRock in fall 2019. While 27% of the population is served by programs with explicit acceptance of pizza boxes, 46% of the population has access to programs that imply, but don’t say specifically, that they accept pizza boxes. The remainder are either unclear or say they cannot take pizza boxes.

Domino’s and WestRock are both members of The Recycling Partnership – a nonprofit dedicated to improving accessibility to and quality of recycling. Domino’s, WestRock and a second box supplier partnered to fund The Recycling Partnership’s development of materials for municipalities to update their recycling programs to include pizza boxes. Consumers can find a link to The Recycling Partnership’s toolkit on recycling.dominos.com, which they can send to their local recycling programs to encourage them to accept pizza boxes into their system.

Together with WestRock earlier in 2020, Domino’s increased the recycled content in its pizza boxes from 40% to 72%. Domino’s recognizes the importance of not just recycling and using recycled content, but also the importance of planting trees. Domino’s is partnering with One Tree Planted to plant 50,000 trees across North America. Customers are invited to vote on social media for the region(s) where trees will be planted.

About Domino’s Pizza^®Founded in 1960, Domino’s Pizza is the largest pizza company in the world based on retail sales, with a significant business in both delivery and carryout pizza. It ranks among the world’s top public restaurant brands with a global enterprise of more than 17,100 stores in over 90 markets. Domino’s had global retail sales of over $14.3 billion in 2019, with over $7.0 billion in the U.S. and nearly $7.3 billion internationally. In the second quarter of 2020, Domino’s had global retail sales of over $3.4 billion, with over $1.9 billion in the U.S. and over $1.5 billion internationally. Its system is comprised of independent franchise owners who accounted for 98% of Domino’s stores as of the end of the second quarter of 2020. Emphasis on technology innovation helped Domino’s achieve more than half of all global retail sales in 2019 from digital channels, primarily online ordering and mobile applications. In the U.S., Domino’s generates over 65% of sales via digital channels and has developed several innovative ordering platforms, including those developed for Google Home, Facebook Messenger, Apple Watch, Amazon Echo and Twitter – as well as Domino’s Hotspots®, an ordering platform featuring over 200,000 unique, non-traditional delivery locations. In June 2019, through an announced partnership with Nuro, Domino’s furthered its exploration and testing of autonomous pizza delivery. In late 2019, Domino’s opened the Domino’s Innovation Garage adjacent to its headquarters in Ann Arbor, Michigan to fuel continued technology and operational innovation – while also launching its GPS technology, allowing customers to follow the progress of the delivery driver from store to doorstep. In mid-2020, Domino’s launched a brand new way to order contactless carryout nationwide via Domino’s Carside Delivery™, which customers can choose when placing a prepaid online order.

Seventh Annual Latino Conservation Week Kicks Off This Weekend (July 18 – 26), Breaks Down Barriers to the Outdoors and Inspires Tomorrow’s Stewards

July 17, 2020

WASHINGTON, July 17, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Communities throughout the country will enjoy and connect with the great outdoors during the 7^th annual Latino Conservation Week, which begins July 18 and runs through July 26. While this year will lean more toward virtual activities like online expeditions, roundtable discussions, Q&A sessions, scavenger hunts, film screenings and the like, nearly 100 events are being celebrated nationwide.

“Latino communities are passionate about the outdoors and hold a strong belief that we have a moral obligation to be good stewards,” said Maite Arce, President and CEO of Hispanic Access Foundation, which launched LCW in 2014. “Latino Conservation Week helps break down barriers for Latino communities to access public lands and waters, encourages new opportunities for engagement and inspires the next generation of environmental stewards.”

Latinos are the largest minority group in America, with over 52 million people making up 16.7 percent of the nation’s population and are projected to become nearly one-third of the population by 2050. By 2020, half of all youth in America will be of color and by 2043, a majority of our country’s residents will be people of color. Yet a 2018 Outdoor Industry Association report found that only 10 percent of Latinos were engaged in outdoor recreation activities. In simple terms, the future of public lands depends on engaging and welcoming our diverse youth and Latino communities that already deeply care about our environment and feel a moral obligation to take care of it.

“At a time when Latinos are disproportionately suffering from COVID-19, we need nature and the benefits it provides, now more than ever,” said Shanna Edberg, Hispanic Access Foundation’s director of conservation programs. “While the pandemic revealed and exacerbated deep inequities in access to green space, Latino Conservation Week events — from the virtual conversations and activities to on-the-ground hikes, birdwatching, picnics and neighborhood cleanups — are bringing this issue to the forefront and helping to bridge that gap.”

This year the National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Forest Service, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and National Wildlife Refuge System are joining forces with Hispanic Access Foundation’s MANO Project to provide programming virtually and at sites throughout the nation. More than 200 parks, organizations and community groups have joined Latino Conservation Week as partners and sponsors. Event partners include Continental Divide Trail Coalition, Corazon Latino, Denver Aquarium, Defenders of Wildlife, Frontera Land Alliance, HECHO, Inland Empire Resource Conservation District, LA Nature for All, Latino Heritage Internship Program, Latino Outdoors, National Parks Conservation Association, The Nature Conservancy, New Mexico Wildlife Federation, Nuestra Tierra Conservation Project, Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership, Wilderness Workshop, and numerous Audubon Society chapters.

Additionally, those joining in person events are encouraged to follow the principles presented in the #RecreateResponsibly campaign. These include 1) Know before you go; 2) Plan ahead; 3) Explore locally; 4) Practice physical distancing; 5) Play it safe; 6) Leave no trace; and 7) Build an inclusive outdoors. For more details on this initiative, visit https://www.recreateresponsibly.org.

The activities span several states and a full listing of events is available at www.LatinoConservationWeek.com. Celebrate online by following #LatinoConservationWeek and #LCW2020 on social media.

About Hispanic Access Foundation
Hispanic Access Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, connects Latinos with partners and opportunities to improve lives and create an equitable society. Our vision is that one day every Hispanic individual in America will enjoy good physical health and a healthy natural environment, a quality education, economic success, and civic engagement in their communities with the sum of improving the future of America.
